I was born and raised in Indonesia, but have never been to Borobudur, always thought of it as just another tourist spot. Now I've migrated, I missed the chance to explore my own homeland. Since I've now taken refuge in Buddhism, I definitely want to go there one day!!<br /><br />About Moslems, please don't be afraid of them. 90% Moslems in Indo are moderate, nice, and tolerant. Unfortunately the not-nice ones are louder than the nice ones.Terasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01631465500682309843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012277645322483593.post-6961960242267164222010-07-12T21:35:15.720-07:002010-07-12T21:35:15.720-07:00bhante, wonderful positive inspiration from you. s...bhante, wonderful positive inspiration from you. sadhu sadhu sadhu.<br /><br />i always try to remind myself of the clingings, perceptions, pre-conditions i have from all these years of studying, being educated in formal institutions thus leaning more towards the 'western' model of thought and perceptions.<br /><br />It is precisely these inclinations that cause me to be disillusioned, dismay, unhappy and thus suffer in the world i live in....<br /><br />and my letting go and practicing more of the bharma-viharas of compassiong, loving kindness, sympathetic joy and equanamity would slowly melt down this EGO of mine.<br /><br />it's always uplifting to learn from you bhante; and may more people benefit from your sharing.Joe Limhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04039736181065908484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012277645322483593.post-52419324757411113892010-07-12T20:52:12.473-07:002010-07-12T20:52:12.473-07:00Dear Richard,

However, touts and souvenir sellers are kept in check and as soon as you enter the huge park/garden around Borobudur all such activity ceases. Then you only have to deal with friendly, smiling Indonesians who want to talk with you and have their picture taken with you. I started to feel a bit like a ‘monument’.Shravasti Dhammikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06246408068143301108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012277645322483593.post-82184134348954289102010-07-12T18:26:34.391-07:002010-07-12T18:26:34.391-07:00I really want to visit this site, and I hope I get...I really want to visit this site, and I hope I get there before they start building strip malls around it.Richard Harroldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02943119066949899198noreply@blogger.com
