Borobudur is a temple located in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia. The temple was built in the 9th century by a Hindu-Buddhist kingdom called the Syailendra. Borobudur is one of the largest Buddhist temples in the world and is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Borobudur consists of six levels, each representing a level of human life. The first level is Kamadhatu, which represents the level of human anxiety still trapped in the material world. The second level is Rupadhatu, which represents the spiritual level of humans who have begun to gain freedom from the material world. The third level is Arupadhatu, which represents the purity of humans who have achieved total freedom from the material world.

Borobudur also consists of 72 stupas, each containing a statue of Buddha. These stupas are symbols of human life that are always revolving in the circle of birth, death, and resurrection. In the middle of the temple is the largest stupa called the Main Stupa. This stupa is a symbol of eternity and purity.
