Mandala on the Hill

Buddha is a king who gives his eyes to a blind man. The hallmark of the axiological understanding of Buddhism is real action through nonviolence, daily acts that show respect for others and selfless sacrifice.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in shakes hands with his supporter during his visit to the Angkor Wat temple, in Siem Reap province, Cambodia, March 16, 2019.

The sun rises slowly to shine on the stupas and Buddhas in the mudra, so it is as though the darkness has receded into the temple. Fog is still visible in the distance and Mount Merapi and Mount Merbabu are silent, keeping their mystery. The start of a day at Borobudur Temple is a blessed day. The footpaths of the Borobudur Temple complex are full of stories of virtue that walk amidst the splendor that touches anyone who can feel. Borobudur is a witness to the mighty power of Mahakala. It has watched in silence, as time has rolled and changed the world and the people who live in it for thousands of years.
