Olesi, In Indonesia, on the most densely populated island in the world, Java, near Yogyakarta, at the foot of one of the planet's most formidable volcanoes, Merapi, lies the largest Buddhist temple, Borobudur. The temple symbolizes a microcosm, divided into three levels: the first represents a world where human desires take on a negative connotation; the second, a world where people control negative desires; and the third, a world where people are unlimited in their possibilities and desires. Terraces, steps, and niches, rising row after row up the slopes of the hill, form a gigantic pyramid, consisting of five million stone slabs and culminating in a bell-shaped stupa. The path to the top winds in a spiral, encircling the sanctuary as many times as it has terraces. Only on the very top terrace can a visitor comprehend the grandeur of the entire structure. Here, one is alone with one's thoughts, with silent stone deities and the majestic panorama of the surrounding blue mountains. Buddhists believe that walking all the terraces of Borobudur clockwise will purify one's karma.
Wonderful work!
