One of 72 Buddhas inside a Stupa at Borobudur. The scale and history of this place is breathtaking and to think that they took it apart entirely in the 70’s and rebuild it stone for stone to restore its foundation is hard to comprehend.
Jemparingan, the ancient Javanese art of archery.
A practice that has been used mainly to develop young men and women’s character and mindset.
This particular archer is the trainer of the sultans warriors who traditionally have been women.
Such a special experience to spend time with some of the few Buddhist monks that are left at the Kalasan temple in Central Java. Beautiful people, inside and out
