without its head but
what an assuring buddha shoulder
to lay my hand for a wish!
borobudor
commercial models walk straight
as the stupas
A commercial was being shot when I was there - smart men and women trooping over a pavement on the top level as the camera
reeled. They walked straight as the ancient stupas which are abundant here - some 57 of them surrounding the monument. In each holed stupas sits a buddha. Many of the buddhas here are headless because of stealth over the years. Borobudor is one of the eight wonders of the world. It was built around the ninth century AD, was covered before Stamford Raffles and his men unearthed the area in the 19th century to make the extraordinary find.
