Borobudur

Borobudur, a Buddhist stupa in the Mahayana tradition, is the largest Buddhist monument in the world. Located on the Indonesian island of Java, 40 km (25mi) northwest of Yogyakarta, Borobudur was built around 750 AD. The magnificent temple is a three-dimensional mandala (diagram of the universe) and a visual representation of Buddhist teachings. History There is no written record of who built Borobudur or of its intended purpose. The construction time has been estimated by comparison between carved reliefs on the temple's hidden foot and the inscriptions commonly used in royal charters during the eight and ninth centuries. Borobudur was likely founded around 750 AD. This corresponds to the peak of the Sailendra dynasty in central Java (760–830 AD), when it was under the influence of the Srivijayan Empire. The construction has been estimated to have taken 75 years and been completed during the reign of Samaratungga in 825. For centuries, Borobodur lay hidden under layers of volcanic ash. The reasons behind the desertion of this magnificent monument still remain a mystery. Some scholars believe that famine caused by an eruption of Mount Merapi forced the inhabitants of Central Java to leave their lands behind in search of a new place to live. When people once again inhabited this area, the glory of Borobudur was buried by ash from Mount Merapi. Borobudur was rediscovered in 1814 by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles who, during his visit in Semarang, received a report indicating the discovery of a hill full of many carved stones. The hill was believed by the local inhabitants to be the site of an ancient monument called budur. Raffles then commissioned a team led by Cornelius to investigate the hill. It was in 1835 that the site was cleared. Some efforts were made to restore and preserve the colossal monument since then. Unfortunately, in 1896 the Dutch colonial government gave away eight containers of Borobudur stones, including reliefs, statues, stairs and gates, as presents for the King of Siam who was visiting Indonesia. A restoration program undertaken between 1973 and 1984 returned much of the complex to its former glory, and the site has since become a destination of Buddhist pilgrimage. On January 21, 1985 the temple suffered minor damage due to a bomb attack. In 1991, Borobudur was listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. What to See Viewed from above, Borobudur takes the form of a giant mandala, symbolically depicting the path of the bodhisattva from samsara to nirvana, through the story of Sudhana described in the Gandavyuha Sutra, a part of the Avatamsaka Sutra. In total, this massive monument contains over 2 million stone blocks. Some scholars think that this massive monument is a gigantic textbook of Buddhism to help people to achieve enlightenment. To read this Buddhist textbook in stone requires a walk of more than two miles. The walls of the galleries are adorned with impressive reliefs illustrating the life of Buddha Shakyamuni and the principles of his teaching. Representing the existence of the universe, Borobudur perfectly reflects the Buddhist cosmology, which divides the universe into three intermingled separate levels. The three levels are Kamadhatu (world of desire), Ruphadatu (world of forms), and Arupadhatu (world of formlessness).

The hidden base of Borobudur was originally the first level, which contains the gallery of Kamadhatu level. It is thought that during construction Borobudur experienced a landfall that threatened the entire building. To prevent the whole monument from collapsing, the Kamadhatu level was closed and made into a new base that holds Borobudur steady. This level of Kamadhatu pictures the world of passion and the inevitable laws of karma. The first 117 panels show various actions leading to one and the same result, while the other remaining 43 panels demonstrate the many results that follow one single effect. At least 160 relief panels were carved around this level, based on the manuscript of Karmavibhangga. What is left of these can be seen in the Southeast corner of this level. The reliefs of the Rupadhatu level show the stories based on the manuscripts of Lalitavistara, Jataka-Avadana and Gandavyuha. The Lalitavistara reliefs, consisting of 120 panels, tell us about the life of Siddhartha Gautama Buddha. It starts with the glorious descent of Buddha from the Tushita heaven. Born as Prince Siddhartha, Buddha's childhood was isolated from the outside world's misery. Accidentally witnessing the misery of sickness, decrepitude and death, young Prince Siddharta decided to escape from the worldly life and commencing his search of freedom from suffering. Siddhartha’s long and painful search finally led him to the highest level of enlightenment and made him Buddha, the Enlightened One. This story ends with Buddha’s sermon in the Deer Park near Benares. The Jataka is a collection of stories about Buddha's previous reincarnation, chains and virtues. According to the Jataka, Buddha was born 504 times before being born as Prince Siddharta, taking on the forms of god, kings, princes, learned men, thieves, slaves, and a gambler. Many times he was born in the forms of animals such as lion, deer, monkey, swan, big turtle, quail, horse, bird and many others. But the Boddhisatva (Buddha-to-be) was distinguished from all other kings, slaves, or animals among whom he lived. The Boddhisatva is always superior and wiser than those around him. As to the relief of Avadana, the main figure is not the Buddha himself. All the saintly deeds pictured in this part are attributed to other legendary characters. The stories are compiled in Dvijavadana (Glorious Heavenly Acts) and the Avadana Sataka (The Hundred Avadana). The first 20 frames in the lower series of stories on the first gallery depict the Sudhanakumaravana. The series of reliefs covering the wall of the second gallery is dedicated to Sudhana’s tireless wandering during his search for the highest wisdom. The story is continued on the walls and balustrades of the third and fourth galleries. Most of the 460 panels depict the scenes based on the Mahayana text Gandavyuha, while the concluding scenes are derived from the text of Badracari. On the last three circular uppermost terraces, 72 stupas circle the huge main stupa that crowns the top of the temple. The circular form represents the eternity without beginning and without end, a superlative, tranquil, and pure state of the formless world. There are no reliefs on the three circular terraces. All but the largest central stupas on the upper levels contain a (more or less) life-sized statue of the Buddha kneeling, although many of these statues are missing or damaged. There are also many alcoves along the lower levels which contain similar statues but many of these are missing or damaged as well.

Getting There Getting from Yogyakarta to Borobudur takes an hour by car. Vehicles with a driver can easily be rented at the airport or from hotels for about $35 a day. There are several flights a day to Yogyakarta from both Jakarta and Bali. Flight time is about one hour for both. Traveling overland from Bali is possible by minibus, but may take up to 24 hours on busy roads. From Jakarta, there are several trains a day, costing about $15 for air-conditioned first class, which can take between 7 and 10 hours.

Kraton As the World Cultural Property

Entering Yogyakarta inexhaustible material to talk about it. Too many things can be revealed about Yogyakarta, one of which is the Palace. You've visited the Sultan's Palace? Thankfully, when it's. Since many residents of Yogyakarta who have never even visited.
Kraton back a lot of talk about the world community not long after the wedding took place the Sultan's daughter. People of Yogyakarta and its surroundings, even many foreign guests present to witness the marriage ceremony customary royal family of Yogyakarta is.

I invite you to briefly know the sultan's palace, so do not just know the Sultan's daughter's wedding alone. But more can be entered in various matters relating to Sultan's Palace. This once again repeat my chance to learn the history and civilization of an empire in the Archipelago. I have outlined just a variety of information about Sultan's Palace from various sources that I list at the end of this paper.

Sultan's Palace was built in 1756 AD or the year 1682 by Prince Mangkubumi Java Sukowati who then holds a lane I. After going through the long struggle between 1747-1755 which ended with the Treaty Gianti. Before assuming Kraton current, lane I or Sri Sultan Hemengku lane Senopati Ingalogo Ngabdulrahman Sayidin Panotogomo Kalifatullah Ketawang Ambar live in Dalkeith, Sleman. Five kilometers west of Yogyakarta Kingdom.

From Ambar Ketawang Ngarso Dalem determine the capital Mataram Kingdom in the Village Pacetokan. A region that is flanked by two rivers and streams Winongo Code. This location is in an imaginary line of the South Seas, Krapyak, Kraton, and Mount Merapi.

Palace building
Kraton building comprises at least seven wards. Each ward is restricted by Regol or entrance. Sixth Regol is Regol Brojonolo, Sri Manganti, Danapratopo, Kemagangan, Gadungmlati, and Kemandungan. Kraton is sandwiched between two squares of North Square and South Square. Each square berukurang approximately 100 × 100 meters. While the overall Kraton standing on the ground 1.5 km square.

Core building fortified palace with double walls as high as 3.5 square meters (1,000 x 1,000 meters). So to enter it must go through the gate called Plengkung. There are five gates namely Plengkung Tarunasura or Plengkung Wijilan palace in the Northeast; Plengkung Jogosuro or Plengkung Ngasem in the southwest; Plengkung Joyoboyo or Plengkung Castle in the west; Plengkung Nirboyo or Plengkung d'Ivoire to the south; Plengkung Tambakboyo or Plengkung Gondomanan in the east.

In the castle, especially those located in the south has a small road that serves for the mobilization of soldiers and weaponry. The four corner bastions built fort which is equipped with a small hole that serves to spy on the enemy.



The guard handed over the fortress palace of them soldiers, Pvt Jogokaryo, Mantrijero Soldiers, and Soldiers Bugis. Soldiers Jogokaryo flag has passed him and lived in Kampung Jogokaryan. Mantrijero soldiers equipped with Unity Flag Purnomosidi and lived in Kampung Mantrijeron. Bugis warrior who flagged Unity lived in Kampung Bugisan Regis.

Naming and Meaning Layout

Palace, the Palace or the Palace, is derived from ka-queen's, which means a place to live the queen / king. Being a broader sense, described simply, that all structures and buildings in the Kraton area have significant meaning related to essential Javanese philosophy of life, namely Sangkan Paraning dumadi (where it comes from humans and where eventually humans after death).

Outline, the Kraton area extending 5 km to the south until Krapyak and 2 km to the north end of the monument. On this line there is a dualism linear line upside down, so it could be read symbolically philosophical. From south to north, as the birth of human beings from on high to the mortal nature, and vice versa as the return of humans to the side dumadi (God in view of Java). While the physical with the king's palace as a symbol of the true soul that comes into the physical body.

Palace to Monument also be interpreted as a way of life that is full of temptations. Beringharjo market symbolizes women temptation. While the temptation for power is symbolized by House Kepatihan. Both are located on the right. Straight road itself as a symbol of man who is close to the Creator (Sangkan Paraning dumadi).

Simply put, monument symbolism Linga (male) and Krapyak as Yoni (female), and Kraton as body derived from both.



Spatial meaning of Kraton



Hit by the earthquake in 1867, the Palace was severely damaged. At the time of HB VII in 1889, the building was refurbished. The lay still retained, but modified form of the building as it looks now

Monument and the Ward or Wards Manguntur Tangkil Kencana (where the king's throne), located in a straight line, this means, when the Sultan sat on his throne and looking toward the monument, then he will always remember his subjects (subjects manunggaling gusti).

Kraton same order of Mataram Dynasty in general. Kencana ward who became the king's reign, together with Prabayeksa as a place to store weapons Kraton heritage (in this room there Wiji Kyai oil lamp, which has always maintained that the courtiers are not extinguished), serves as the center. The ward is covered by the court Kedhaton, so as to reach the center, pass through a page that resembles a series of layered bewa (waves) over the ocean.

Arrangement of the Palace is very similar to the constellation of mountains and plains Dwipa Guava, which is seen as a continent of its center of the universe. From north to south of the palace there are successive North Square, North Siti Hinggil, North Kemandhungan, Srimanganti, Kedhaton, Kemagangan, South Kemandhungan, Siti Hinggil Square South and South (the sheltered courtyard wall height).

While the door to go through to get to each place of nine, called Regol. From the north there is a gate, Pangurukan, Tarub Great, Brajanala, Srimanganti, Kemagangan, Gadhung Mlati, Kemandhungan and Ivory. Brongtodiningrat critical look at these numbers, the highest number that describes perfection. This corresponds to nine holes in man, commonly called air babahan sanga.

The sacredness of each Palace building is indicated by the frequency and intensity of Sultan activities in place. Square, Pagelaran, and Siti Hinggil, at this place the Sultan only present three times a year, namely during the events of Pisowan Ageng Grebeg Maulud, Sawal and Besar. As well as a very incidental occasion a very special example at the time of the coronation of the Emperor and Crown Prince or Princess Coronation Duke Anom.

Mystery Keris MPU Gandring

Gandring the MPU maker's famous dagger, from the village Lulumbang. He is a friend of Bango Samparan, adoptive father of Ken Arok. Narrated in Pararaton that Ken Arok intends to seek a powerful weapon for killing her employer, ie stumps Ametung akuwu Tumapel. He wants to have a keris which can kill only one puncture. Bango was introduced Ken Arokpada Samparan Gandring MPU. To realize the orders Ken Arok, mpu Gandring requested a year's time. Ken Arok impatient. He promised to come again after five months.

Five months later, Ken Arok really came to see MPU Gandring. He was angry to see the new order of semi-finished dagger. Because of anger, a dagger was captured and used to stab chest Gandring MPU. Although not perfect, but Kris was able to split the stone mortar belonging Gandring MPU. MPU Gandring was killed by a homemade dagger. But he was later condemned the kris will be claimed the lives of seven descendants of Ken Arok, including Ken Arok himself. Ken Arok back to Tumapel to kill and seize the position of stumps Ametung

MPU Gandring Keris is the heirloom weapon in the history of the founding of the famous Kingdom of Singhasari in Malang, East Java now. Keris is famous for his condemnation that took the lives of elites Singasari including the founders and the wearer, Ken Arok. Keris is made by a blacksmith who was known to be sacred by the name of MPU Gandring, on orders Ken Arok, one of the robbers who according to a bead wisnu brahmanabernama Lohgawe is. Ken Arok was ordered to the MPU Gandring dagger with a one night only, which is an almost impossible job done by the "MPU" (a clever title for a very powerful metal) at the time. However MPU Gandring menyanggupinya with supernatural powers they have. Even the force was "transferred" into a homemade dagger was to increase the capability and the magic dagger.

After finishing a dagger with a perfect shape and form even has a supernatural ability that supposedly said to exceed that period keris. MPU Gandring completed its work to make the dagger sheath.

In dying, mpu Gandring issued a curse that Kris will ask the victim lives of seven generations of Ken Arok. In his journey, a dagger is involved in the dispute and murder of the royal elite Singhasari namely:


Killing stumps Ametung

Ametung stump, regional head Tumapel (forerunner Singhasari) then a subordinate of the Kadiri Kingdom was ruled by Kertajaya the title "Dandang Gendis" (last king of this kingdom). Tumapel itself is a fraction of a large empire that was once a kingdom that was destroyed Jenggala Kadiri, which both originally one region led by Airlangga. Ken Arok killed stumps Ametung to get his beautiful wife, Ken Dedes. Ken Arok himself was an employee of the trust of the stumps Ametung very believable.

Anusapati eventually devise retaliatory killings by having a warrior sacred trust, the foundation of Ki.

At the time alone in a room the royal heritage, Ken Arok had observed the royal treasures. One of the treasures which he possessed was made sheathless dagger Gandring MPU MPU known as Kris Gandring. Seeing the blood spills on the dagger, he felt more scared in advance unseen voice from within the keris is requesting tumbal. He remembered the curse MPU Gandring killed, and immediately to the ground until mebantingnya shattered. He intended to destroy it. But apparently the keris is floated and disappeared. While designing the foundation of Ki Anusapati and killings, the keris is suddenly in the hands Anusapati. Anusapati handed the dagger to the foundation of Ki according to the language now, served as the "executor" of Ken Arok. The task was implemented, and to eliminate the traces, Anusapati kill Ki foundation with the keris.


Killing Anusapati

Anusapati Ken Arok took office, but not for long. Because Tohjaya, son of Ken Umang Ken Arok eventually find out the killings. And Tohjaya was revenge. Tohjaya cockfights held a very popular royal Anusapati. When Anusapati guard, took the dagger MPU Tohjaya Gandring and instantly killed on the spot. Tohjaya Anusapati killed by penalties which are believed to kill Ken Arok. After killing Anusapati, Tohjaya set himself up as king instead of Anusapati.

Tohjaya himself not long reign. Emergence of discontent both among people and even among the elite palace which is his family and his own brother, whom Mahisa Campaka and Dyah Ox Tal. Dissatisfaction and palace intrigue is finally flared into warfare that resulted in the deaths Tohjaya. Having successfully mastered the situation, eventually followed by a royal throne ruling Ranggawuni said is quite old and peacetime Singashari kingdom. Since the killing of Tohjaya, Kris lost mpu Gandring rimbanya unknown. Keris Gandring MPU according to several sources of spiritual truth is not lost. In a sense gone completely destroyed and not discovered its existence. In this section did not want to discuss the matter. In this section invites the reader want to briefly analyze "keampuahan" or "good luck" from the Kris or author (MPU Gandring).

At the end of his life at the tip homemade dagger, mpu Gandring cursed Ken Arok, that Kris was going to cost the lives of seven generations of Ken Arok. Now let us count.
