The massive stone stupa of Borobudur is one of the greatest ancient architectural monuments linked to the Mahayana tradition. Built between 750 and 850 AD, Borobudur predates Cambodia’s Angkor Wat by three centuries. Buried under volcanic ash and tropical vegetation, it was rediscovered only in 1815. It has recently been completely restored through an international effort under the auspices of UNESCO. Borobudur is truly a Mandala, a map of the cosmic universe and the human mind: a point of integration, union, and connection; and according to Buddhist philosophy, by making the pilgrimage upward, we will reach the precious “Nirvana.”
