The Beauty of Tanjung Kelayang Beach

Tanjung Kelayang Beach indeed exotic. No wonder this beach is often the location of international and national sail. This beach has been ordered there are restaurants, cottages and seats for visitors who come to this beach. When looking at the beach, there are islands that were located fairly close to a very exotic. Also visible among the sea of ​​large, granite boulders sticking giant. Among them there are the so-called Bird Island because there is a rock that looks like a bird's head. It is said that the story, the name "Kelayang" taken from a bird which is widely available in this beach. In addition, it appears also with his trademark Lengkuas Island lighthouse there. 



From the beaches of white sand beach lay Tanjung Kelayang is located around 4km to the Cape High. East coast is a good place to swim, because the surface is also clear and white sandy beaches. It's also good if you want to play on the beach because the surface of the wide beach. East coast is the entrance to Cape Kelayang, here there are only white sand, no boulders. From there, visitors usually walk along the beach about 300m to the north, while you can find granite boulders, scattered along the tip of the peninsula and also in the sea. One of them is shaped like a bird Kelayang earlier. 


Meanwhile West coast has a different view. The beach is not along the East side West side because there are more granite rocks. The unique view of the West coast is 3 small islands, approximately 300m from the beach. Combined with boulders scattered at sea, the view in the West become more attractive, especially at sunset. The best place to enjoy the beach West side is from the top of granite boulders in the edge of the peninsula. The third place is lovely to look at is from the villa, about 500m from the tip of the peninsula of Cape Kelayang. This place is like a paradise lost, although it is a combination of granite rocks like other places. The special, the panorama is unique and different from other places. 

If you are interested to visit the small islands around the coast of  Tanjung Kelayang Beach, around the coast there are many fishing boats can be rented. With such a close distance from the coast, travel by boat for approximately 10 minutes and you can walk around the islands are uninhabited because of all the island surrounded by white sand. Do not forget to bring enough drinking water supply because there is no drinking water in these islands.
Contrary to the beautiful story above, you'll find an unfinished resort built and abandoned right in the middle of the peninsula of
Tanjung Kelayang Beach. The project has been abandoned by their owners since a few years ago. This is the main cause why Cape Kelayang no longer a popular high point, although it actually has a more beautiful panorama of the Cape High.

Borobudur is the largest Buddhist Temple


Borobudur is the largest Buddhist temple in the 9th century measuring 123 x 123 meters. Borobudur is a Buddhist cultural heritage in Indonesia, Borobudur is the name of a Buddhist temple located at Borobudur, Magelang, Central Java. The location of the temple is approximately 100 km southwest of Hyderabad and 40 km northwest of Yogyakarta. This temple was founded by the followers of Mahayana Buddhism around the year 800 AD during the reign of the dynasty dynasty. In the ethnic Chinese, this temple is also called 婆罗 浮屠 (Hanyu Pinyin: po luo fu tu) in Mandarin. 

Millions of people are yearning to visit the buildings included in this World Wonder Heritages. No wonder, for the architectural and function as a place of worship, Borobudur is attractive heart. Borobudur was built by King Samaratungga, one of the kings of Old Mataram Kingdom, Dynasty descendant dynasty. Based Kayumwungan inscription, an Indonesian named Hudaya Kandahjaya revealed that Borobudur is a place of worship was completed on 26 May 824, almost a hundred years from the time the construction. The name of Borobudur, as some people means a mountain having terraces (budhara), while the other says that Borobudur means monastery on the high ground.
Borobudur-shaped building with staircase punden consists of 10 levels. Height 42 meters before it was renovated and 34.5 meters after the renovation because the lowest level is used as a drag. Six lowest level of a square and three levels on top of a circle and one of the highest levels of Buddhist stupa facing to the west. Each level represents the stages of human life. In accordance madhhabs Mahayana Buddhism, every person who wants to reach the level as the Buddha had to through every level of life is. 


The base of Borobudur, called Kamadhatu, symbolizing human beings that are still bound by lust. Four levels above referred Rupadhatu symbolizes man who had to break free from lust but still bound manner and form. On this terrace, Buddha effigies are placed in open space. Meanwhile, three levels above where the Buddhist stupas are laid in holes called Arupadhatu, symbolizing man who has been free from lust, appearance, and shape. The top part is called Arupa symbolizes nirvana, where Buddha is residing.
Each terrace has beautiful relief panels showing how skillful. Relief that will be read coherently when you walk in a clockwise direction (towards the left of the entrance of the temple). The relief panels tell the legendary story of Ramayana. In addition, there are relief panels describing the condition of society at that time. For example, relief of farmers' activity reflecting the advance of agriculture system and relief of sailing boat representing the advance of the voyage who was based in Bergotta (Semarang).
All relief panels in Borobudur temple reflect the Buddha's teachings. Hence, this temple functions as educating the media for people who want to learn Buddhism. YogYES invites you to surround each of the narrow alleys of Borobudur for to understand the philosophy of Buddhism. Atisha, a Buddhist from India in the 10th century, had visited the temple that was built 3 centuries before Angkor Wat in Cambodia and 4 centuries before the Grand Cathedrals in Europe.
Thanks to visiting Borobudur and armed with a script from Serlingpa Buddhism (one of the king of the Kingdom of Sriwijaya), Atisha was able to develop Buddhism. He became head Vikramasila monastery and taught Tibetans of practicing Dharma. Six manuscripts of Serlingpa was condensed into a core course called "The Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment" or better known by the name Bodhipathapradipa.  One of the questions still unanswered about Borobudur is how the condition around the temple was built and why the temple was found in the buried state. Some say Borobudur initially stood surrounded by a swamp and then buried by the eruption of Merapi. Calcutta is essentially the inscription reads 'Amawa' means sea of ​​milk. The word is then interpreted as lava of Merapi. Some other says that Borobudur buried by cold lava of Merapi.
