Buddhist Cosmology, the Borobudur Temple Compound.
00:00:00
The island of Java, Indonesia,
00:00:08
Mount Merapi, meaning red fire, is an active volcano.
00:00:10
The temple complex was rediscovered by the British in 1814.
00:00:18
It is known as Borobudur among the local people.
00:00:22
The base is a 1,200-square-metre terrace topped with six tiers.
00:00:26
The walls are adorned with numerous Buddha reliefs.
00:00:32
The total length of the galleries, when placed end-to-end,
00:00:41
stretches for five kilometres.
00:00:44
Borobudur was probably built between the 8th and 9th centuries.
00:00:48
The exact purpose of its construction is not clear.
00:00:53
One theory is that the complex represents Buddhist cosmology.
00:00:58
It's a mandala.
00:01:02
A group of reliefs hidden at the back of limestone at the base
00:01:09
were discovered in 1885.
00:01:12
It was a significant discovery.
00:01:14
The words ugly face are inscribed in ancient Javanese script.
00:01:18
It describes the earthly world dominated by greed.
00:01:24
The monument represents the three worlds of Buddhist cosmology.
00:01:28
The base level is the world of desire.
00:01:33
The world of forms is above.
00:01:36
Then comes the world of formlessness, the highest level of enlightenment.
00:01:39
As visitors walk across the gallery, they enter the world of forms.
00:01:43
They can see images of people trying to achieve mastery over worldly desires.
00:01:46
The daughters of the author of evil opposed to Buddha are trying to seduce him.
00:01:54
He absorbs himself in meditation, convinced they are illusions of his own mind.
00:02:02
As visitors progress and reach the top level,
00:02:07
the gate to the world of formlessness awaits.
00:02:10
Stupas appear amid the world of formlessness.
00:02:14
72 are neatly lined.
00:02:17
Statues of Buddha are hidden inside.
00:02:20
They can be glimpsed through the grate.
00:02:22
There is a 10-meter high stupa at the top of the monument.
00:02:29
Standing right at the center of the stupa,
00:02:35
standing right at the center of Borobudur,

it encourages Buddhists the world over to strive for enlightenment with diligence.
