BOROBUDUR TEMPLE

You ever visit Borobudur Temple? This Buddhist temple has 1460 relief panels and 504 Buddha effigies in the complex. Millions of people are eager to visit the buildings that are included in this World Wonder Heritages. Not surprising, since both architecturally its function as a place of worship, Borobudur is indeed Captivate hearts.

Borobudur was built by King Samaratungga, one of the Kings of old Mataram Kingdom, the descendant of sailendra dynasty. Based on the inscription Kayumwungan, an Indonesia named Hudaya Kandahjaya revealed that Borobudur is a place of worship which was completed may 26, 824, almost one hundred years since the beginning of construction. The name Borobudur itself according to some people means a mountain having terraces (budhara), while some others say that Borobudur means Monastery located in high places.

Borobudur building shaped stairs constructed consists of 10 floors. Height 42 yards before being renovated and 34.5 meters after renovated due to the level of the lowest used as anchoring. The lowest six levels of square shape and three floors above a circular and one of the highest levels in the form of Buddhist stupas facing westward. Each terrace symbolizes the stages of human life. According to the Mahayana Buddhist school, every person who wants to reach the level of the Buddha must be through every level of life.

The base of Borobudur, called Kamadhatu, symbolizes the human beings who are still bound to lust. The four levels on it called Rupadhatu symbolizing human beings who have been able to break free from lust but still bound to appearance and shape. At that level, Buddha statues are placed face up. Meanwhile, three levels above it where the Buddha placed inside the stupa with wholes are called Arupadhatu, symbolizing humans who have been freed from lust, form, and shape. The top part is called Arupa symbolizes Nirvana, the Buddha is residing.

Each terrace has beautiful reliefs that show how skillful the sculptors. The Relief is to be read in order when you walk clockwise (towards the left from the entrance of the Temple). Borobudur relief tells the story of a very legendary story of Ramayana. In addition, there is also a relief depicting the condition of society at that time. For example, the relief of the activity of the farmer who reflects on the progress of current farming systems and the relief of the sailing ship is a representation of the progress of the voyage at that time based in Bergotta (Semarang).

The overall relief panels in Borobudur Temple reflect Buddha's teachings. Therefore, it can be educational media for people who want to learn the teachings of the Buddha. YogYES invites you to surround each narrow passage in Borobudur in order to understand the philosophy of Buddhism. Atisha, a Buddhist from India in the 10th century, has never been to the temple which was built 3 centuries before Angkor Wat in Cambodia and four centuries before the great Cathedrals in Europe.

Thanks to visit Borobudur and armed with scripts from Serlingpa Buddhist teachings (one of the King of Srivijaya), he was able to develop the teaching of Buddha. He became Abbot of Vikramasila and taught Tibetans of practicing the Dharma. Six scripts from Serlingpa were summarized into a core teaching called "The Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment" or better known as Bodhipathapradipa.

One of the questions still unanswered about now is how the condition around the Temple when it was built and why the temple was found in the buried. Some say that Borobudur initially stood framed by swamp then buried due to the eruption of the Merapi. Essence is the inscription that reads ' Calcutta Amawa ' means the ocean of milk. That Word is then defined as the lava of Merapi. Some others say that Borobudur was buried by cold lava of Merapi.

With all its greatness and mystery that is reasonable, when many people from all the existing world put Borobudur as a place that should be visited in his lifetime. In addition to enjoying the temple, you can walk around to the villages around Borobudur Temple, such as Karanganyar and Wanurejo to view the activity of citizens making crafts. You can also go to the top of Kendil stone is to be able to view the panorama from the top of Borobudur. Wait for what again? No need to worry about the earthquake on 27 May 2006, due to the Borobudur was not affected at all.

The past is indeed full of mystery. Many people believe that the Temple of Borobudur as relics of Syailendra dynasty in the 8th century AD. But it was disputed by KH. Fahmi Basya. This Islamic mathematician believes that Borobudur is very closely related to the history of Prophet Sulaiman. Borobudur is the remains of the Queen of Saba ' as told in the Quran.

In this book the author explains in great detail and scientific evidence that Borobudur is the remains of the Queen of Saba '. There are 40 exact evidence explained. One of the most powerful and yet evidence can be disputed is the discovery of a letter from the Prophet Sulaiman says "Bismilllahirrahmanirrahim" on top of a gold plate inside the bathing pool Queen of Saba ' (Ratu Boko) in Sleman, Central Java.

Religions of the ancient Javanese named Kapitayan

ACTUALLY RELIGION WHAT WAS FIRST DEVELOPED IN THE ARCHIPELAGO?

The earliest religion evolved in the archipelago is Kapitayan. A belief that the main patron called adores, "Sanghyang Taya" meaning empty or blank. The Javanese define Sanghyang Taya in one sentence, "tan hit kinaya ngapa" meaning could not be determined-whether its existence. To that end, to be worshipped, Sanghyang Taya recognized the name and nature of the so-called "Tu" or "To", meaning "supernatural power", which are supernatural.

In old Javanese, Sundanese ancient old Malay, the word "taya" meaning empty or empty but that does not mean no. This is the term used to define something that can not be defined, tan got kinaya ngapa, something that could not be seen, nor could any such diangan-angan. It is there but not there.

HOW THE TEACHING OF UNDERSTANDING BASIC OF KAPITAYAN?

In the system of Kapitayan so simple this time, Sanghyang Taya could not recognize  except when it appears in the form of supernatural powers called "Tu". "Tu" is an ancient means of discussion threads or cords running. "Tu" is considered as a possible personal Sanghyang Taya.

"Tu" was known to have major good nature and nature is not good. The good nature of the light and that is not good so dark but in a single unit. "Tu" is good called TUHAN (God), and "Tu" is not well called HANTU (Ghost).

 

TU or TO the Essence is single. One Personal. TU is often called by the name of "Sah Hyang Tunggal". He has two properties, that is good and evil. A TU Favor called "TU-han" referred to by the name of Sanghyang Wenang (Detention). TU  with the Crime called th e name is Sang Manikmaya. As such, The Sanghyang Wenang and The Sanghyang Manikmaya in fact is the nature of  "Sah Hyang Tunggal". Because it is The occult nature of "Sah Hyang Tunggal", Sanghyang Wenang and  Manikmaya cannot be approached with sensory perception and sense of mind. Only known his nature only.
 

"Tu" can be approached when he appeared in the world in something that there are the words ' tu '. As wa-tu (stone), tu-gu (monument), tu-nggak (sold), tu-nggul (stump), tu-ban (waterfalls) , and so forth, which implies the existence of the supernatural power of "tu" that resides. Usually people's give offerings. This primeval.

 

A devotee of Sanghyang Taya caleed dharma would be blessed with supernatural powers who are positive (TU-ah) and a negative (TU-lah). Those who have been blessed with TU-ah and TU-lah is considered eligible to become community leaders. They are called ra-TU or dha-TU. Those who have been blessed with TU-ah and TU-lah, what his life will be marked by the PI, the power of the divine secrets  hidden Sanghyang Taya. That's why, ra-TU,  or dha-TU call themselves with the pronouns themselves: "PI-nakahulun". If talking is called "PI-dato". If the hearing is called "PI-har'sha". If knowledge is called PI-wulang. If giving tip called PI-tutur. If hints are called PI-tuduh. If the judge called PI-nemu (idea). If giving firmness is called PI-andel. If the ancestral spirits to provide offerings called PI-tapuja often called a PI-nda (pastry flour), PI-nang, PI-tik, PI-ndodakakriya (rice and water), PI-sang (banana). If the transmitting power is called PI-deksa. If they died is called PI-tara. A ra-TU or dha-TU, is the embodiment of the power of invisibility Sanghyang Taya. A ra-TU is a personal image of the Sahyang Tunggal.

With a prerequisite-prerequisites as broken down in the face of the position of ra-TU and dha-TU is not an absolute kepewarisan. For an ra-TU is required must fundamentally have a TU-TU and ah-lah, cannot be passed on automatically on his descendants. A ra-TU struggled demonstrates excellence and TU TU-ah-lah, with the first being the ruler of a small area called Wizard. Master Wizard was given the appellation Raka. A raka who is able to subdue the power raka-raka to another, then it will occupy the post of ra-TU. Thus, ra-TU (King from java) is a man who really tested his ability, good ability to lead and manage strategy and capabilities Tu-ah and TU-lah..

The influence of Kapitayan in power system with Java the concept ra-TU and "dha-TU", changes when the influence of Hinduism particularly the teachings of Bhagavatism embraced by devotees of Vishnu came to the archipelago. The teachings of Bhagavatism was considered easier in the implementation of the kepewarisan system plus a dinasty, has given the motivation for the Kings of the Archipelago early to adopt Vaishnava.

Though the influence of the Hindu concept of power system rajawi embraced by authorities in the archipelago, but the old system sourced from the Kapitayan is not removed. The presence of the King or the Emperor, i.e., always characterized by Slate as ra-TU or dha-TU. So a King, has been a special place called ' the Palace ' or ' kedhaton ' in addition to the ward and the Castle. In addition, a King is always marked by the ownership of objects that have supernatural powers such as the n.c.-TU, TU-nggul, TU-TU-ya, lang, TO-san, TO, TO-peng, TO-wok, etc. Power system in Indonesia requires the existence of ra-TU with objects  "ber-TU-ah".

WHETHER THE WALI SANGA ADOPTED KAPITAYAN,  IN SPREADING THE RELIGION OF ISLAM?

Indeed this was adopted by the Kapitayan Wali Songo to spread Islam. Because for 850 years of Islam could not go on among the indigenous majority of adherents of Kapitayan. Because what? Because the muslim merchants tell me that God is seated on the throne, Throne. Why, it's like a man?. Indigenous people who understand the Kapitayan can't take that kind of logic. How the Lord sits, it's the same as humans?

THE PRINCIPLE OF TEACHING OF KAPITAYAN?

In the teaching of Kapitayan not know gods such as Hinduism and Buddhism. Well, at the time of Wali Songo, the basic principle of Kapitayan as a means to preach and explain to the people that Sanghyang Taya is laisa kamitslihî syai'un, based on the evidence of the Quran and Hadith to mean equal to tan hit kinaya ngapa, something that could not be seen, nor can be considered as any.

Wali Songo also uses the term ' sembahiyang ' and did not use the term prayer. Sembahiyang is worshipping the ' Yang '. Where is it? in the Sanggar. But, the shape class Kapitayan converted into like Gary-Gary (langgar-langgar javanses langauge)  in the village there is a mihrab. Features of this adoption bedhug, Kapitayan. About the teachings of worship do not eat not drink from morning to evening is not termed ' shaum ' because people do not understand but use the term ' upawasa ' then becomes "puasa = poso" fasting.

 

Those first if you like converted to Islam quite Shahada, then celebrate the sharing of tumpeng. So, always choose Kapitayan for all who enter. Please please could be accepted by Kapitayan when there is a religion that God exists as a human. Because, the unconscious majority society Archipelago will be refused.

Hinduism even when the entry to the archipelago are also selected. Hindu teachings the most followers that time was a Vaishnava, devotee of Vishnu. But because there is a doctrine which States that Vishnu may appear in the human figure it out eventually ousted, replaced the teachings of Shiva who holds that God cannot manifest itself as human beings.
