Borobudur has been beautiful and lonely for thousands of years. Who built it and why? There is no written record. By comparing the relief of the pagoda foundation with the inscription of the royal family tree, it is estimated that the pagoda may have been built in 800 AD. The beauty of Borobudur is beyond people's imagination, and its message is absolutely shocking. This temple pointing to the stars in the universe, from the air, presents a Buddhist Mancha pattern. Scholars are particularly fascinated by why the builder built a complex religious symbol that can only be seen from the sky. The Java kingdom of Borobudur means respecting Buddha. At first, people thought it was a stupa, but from the careful design and construction, it was actually a temple symbolizing the three-dimensional miniature of the Buddhist universe.
Mainstream archaeologists believe that this pyramid-shaped stupa is a solid structure. But if there is no hidden secret room, it is difficult to convince a great building built with huge resources to conform to astronomy and geophysics. There are 100 beautifully carved Gargoyle and animal drainage holes all over the pagoda, which also shows that its internal structure is not simple. 1882, the colonial government planned to demolish the stupa and display the relief in the museum. After the workers dug it out, somehow, they quietly filled it back. Maybe mankind is not ready to reveal the truth. There are indications that this building may be a place for human beings to communicate with gods. It is believed that ancient Indonesians had contact with aliens, and the construction of Borobudur was also inspired by the alien world.
The ill-fated fate of this magnificent building is also worth mentioning. After Islam was introduced into Indonesia in the early 20th century, extremists planned to destroy Borobudur. At this time, the ancient Merapi volcano erupted and the stupa was completely buried underground until 18 12 was discovered by the British, and then it was restored with the assistance of UNESCO. Because it is rumored that there is gold in the heads of Buddha statues, many Buddha statues have their heads stolen.
Unlike the kind-hearted Buddha statues in other temples, the Buddha statues of Borobudur always look at people who come here quietly with a seemingly absent smile.
The pagoda is divided into 9 floors from bottom to top, with a total of 505 Buddha statues with different shapes, sizes and exquisite craftsmanship. The tower is covered with reliefs, depicting the story of the Buddha's arrival on earth and his return to heaven, as well as people's living customs and pictures of flowers, birds and animals at that time, forming an epic stone carving. What is particularly amazing is that it can show the details of figures and empty clothes on volcanic rocks full of holes and particles, making the relief works vivid and beautiful.
Among them, the relief in the tower foundation at the bottom depicts the horror scene of the left arm and the right arm going to hell. The Buddha warned the public that only by diligent practice can we get rid of these vulgar tastes and rise to the highest level of nirvana.
Believers climb stairs to the top floor and walk for about 5 kilometers, symbolizing going from the endless earth to the sky. Each layer represents a realm of cultivation. When you are in the corridor on the sixth floor below, the corridor wall will block your view, and you can't see the big tower at the top of the altar. As sentient beings, you can't see everything as soon as you step into the Buddhist land. You must climb the ladder with a pious heart and gradually feel and understand the Buddha's thoughts and the mysteries of life.
Surprisingly, this stupa was built without any adhesive. More than 2 million stones are all tenon and nail structures, and it has not collapsed after several earthquakes for thousands of years. There is a long relief in the corridor on the third floor, which tells a dream of Queen Moya, in which a white elephant with six tusks visited her.
Later, Queen Moya gave birth to a boy. Everyone will shake their heads when they see this scene: the sculptor is young and inexperienced. How can a newborn child be so big? But craftsmen who are proficient in astronomy and geophysics will certainly not make such low-level mistakes. According to Buddhist scriptures, children grow up when they see the wind after birth and soon become adults. With extraordinary martial arts, he won the admiration of neighboring princesses, then gave up the throne of money, ran to the tree to practice Buddha Sakyamuni, and finally returned to his home star with the stupa. This fantastic life sounds like the plot of a recently hit TV series?
Speaking of Buddha's archery, it is by no means a hollow reputation. 1 1 year-old won the championship with one arrow and seven drums, which scared the monkeys.
This painting should be viewed from left to right: 1) A turtle is swimming in the sea; 2) Suddenly saw a sea monster attacking the ship; 3) Turtles drive away sea monsters and rescue sailors who fell into the water; 4) Brother Turtle is worshipped by sailors. Will this be the earliest four-frame cartoon in the world?
The sailor lying on the turtle's back, hiding his face and crying, was carved to life. It is certainly not reliable to expect these crying sampans and sailors to cross the ocean. At that time, only a few countries, such as China, had the strength to conduct ocean trade.
The unprecedented prosperity of the shipping industry in the Tang Dynasty brought a lot of tax revenue to the country. Chang 'an, the capital at that time, was the center of the world, and people of all colors gathered. Tang Xuanzong even set up a maritime trade management department, which didn't end until the closed-door Ming Dynasty. The Chinese sailboat on the mural not only touched Indonesians, but also reached the Red Sea and East Africa.
The bird-headed man, an angel of heaven found only in the pyramids of Egypt, also appeared in Borobudur. Perhaps there is some mysterious connection between pyramid buildings scattered around the world.
There are also African lions in the chaos, which makes the local wild animals Java tiger and Sumatra tiger embarrassed?
A faint whisper tells an old legend: when iron returns to the embrace of stone, the pulley will turn and you will gain the power to travel through time and space. This magical thing in time to go back can live in an oriental temple, maybe in Borobudur. The audience listened attentively to the Buddha's talk about life, and the sword fell out of the photo frame without realizing it.
After listening to the Buddha's statement, the believers knelt down and begged for a big tonic pill. The Buddha was helpless and spread out his hand and said, "Since I took a bath every day, my balls really can't be rubbed." But the onlookers are obviously not so easy to send away. Pay attention to their sight.
If you hold a handful in your hand, you will get a treasure, regardless of dynasty, country, language or skin color.
The top of the tower consists of three circles, each with a circle of porous stupa.
Borobudur has an entrance in the middle of each side. * * * There are 32 stone lions guarding the four entrances, and each entrance has steps leading to the top of the tower. But the eight lions at the top of the tower are strangely facing the central altar. Can tourists come to the stupa from the sky?
Each of the 72 round towers has a Buddha statue. Mainstream archaeologists believe that these pagodas are pagodas built for enlightened souls, but they cannot explain why only Indonesians in the world have built pagodas as porous as bird cages. I think they are more like portholes on a spaceship. The pronunciation of Indian stupas is similar to that of Egyptian stepped pagodas. Perhaps thousands of years ago, aliens came to Indonesia in such a spaceship, so the ancients thought that the spaceship was a cosmic ladder to heaven. In this way, Borobudur may be a connection between human beings and aliens, or an entrance into multidimensional space, which can bring human objects or consciousness from another dimension into our dimensional space. What will happen when its secret is revealed? Man won't know until the day when he is ready to reveal the truth. In order to prevent pickpockets and thieves from stealing cultural relics, there is also a local legend: a prince in Yogyakarta Sultanate ignored taboos and took away a statue in a pagoda in Borobudur. As a result, he returned to the palace and fell ill and died a day later.
The supernatural story had the opposite effect. The Buddha statue in the largest pagoda at the top of the temple was stolen.
For thousands of years, Borobudur has been alone on the hillside, overlooking all th.
Borobudur is about 40 kilometers away. You can go there by bus three times. The conductor and flight attendant will enthusiastically tell you the transfer route. Unless there are extreme situations such as volcanic eruption, there are still a large number of tourists coming to visit. You can follow the crowd.
Attractions: foreign tourists are about RMB 1 10. Free coffee and bottled water are provided at the ticket office. Please make yourself at home. Be sure to drink more cups of coffee to replenish energy and pack more bottles of water before you leave. There are not even stalls in the scenic spot. Walking five kilometers in the hot sun is still very tiring.
