The Buddhist cosmology and the nature of mind @ Borobudur,Central Java, Indonesia.
Borobudur, Built in the 9th century during the reign of the Sailendra Dynasty, the temple was designed in Javanese Buddhist architecture, which blends the Indonesian indigenous cult of ancestor worship and the Buddhist concept of attaining Nirvana. It is the world’s largest Buddhist temple, as well as one of the greatest Buddhist monuments in the world.
Borobudur is built as a single large stupa and, when viewed from above, takes the form of a giant tantric Buddhist mandala, simultaneously representing the Buddhist cosmology and the nature of mind.The original foundation is a square, approximately 118 metres (387 ft) on each side. It has nine platforms, of which the lower six are square and the upper three are circular. The upper platform features seventy-two small stupas surrounding one large central stupa. Each stupa is bell-shaped and pierced by numerous decorative openings. Statues of the Buddha sit inside the pierced enclosures.

The Truth of Life ?
There is a Middle Path discovered by the Tathagata (the Buddha)- a path which opens the eyes, and bestows understanding , which leads to peace, to insight , to the higher wisdom , to NIVARANA...The name Buddha ,( the Knower , the Enlightened, the Awake), is the appellation by which the wandering preaching friar Gautama became best known to his disciples.
Life is suffering ?
This, O monks, is the Ariyan Truth of Suffering: Birth is suffering, old age is suffering,Suffering: Birth is suffering, old age is suffering,sickness is suffering , death is suffering, to be united with the unloved is suffering, to be separated from the loved is suffering, not to obtain what one desires is suffering; in short, the fivefold clinging to the senses is suffering.
The whole of the Dharma of Gautama (the Buddha) is simply and briefly capitulated in the Four Ariyan Truths or axioms:
1)That there is suffering(Dukkha)
2) That it has a cause(Samudaya)
3) That it can be suppressed(Nirodha)
4) That there is a way to accomplish this(Magga)

Sudhana's (LORD BUDDHA) search for the Ultimate Truth .
