..."Yogyakarta is the gateway to the 12th century sacred Buddhist site of Borobudor and 9th century Hinduism site of Prambanan, both together, one of the 3 wonders in Southeast Asia, along with Angkor Wat in Cambodia and Bagan in Myanmar. Home to the Sultan of Yogyakarta, a much respected political figure in Indonesia, Yogyakarta is a prominent city in Indonesia, where the ruggedness of everyday life mingles with the mystic allure of its rich historical past"...

The Buddha in a western-style sitting posture is Maitreya Buddha, the future Buddha to appear after Sakyamuni Buddha. Maitreya is predicted to take birth in this world about 2,000 years after Sakyamuni Buddha. | GuthrieColin Thu Sep 18, 2008 08:12 UTC

Interesting. I was in Borobodur so long ago, I don't know where my photos are now. I seem to recall, it was free to see it in those days and there was nobody there. |
