Description

Explore the deep connections between Mahayana Buddhist thought and the monumental architecture of Borobudur in Indonesia. This scholarly work from the Routledge Critical Studies in Buddhism series provides a comprehensive interpretation of the site by examining how religious ideas and practices shaped its design. Through a study of both the narrative reliefs and the Buddha images, the author examines a version of classical Mahayana that places significant weight on the visual. This perspective connects Buddhist philosophy, meditation, devotion, and ritual to the physical structures of the monument. The book explains how the architects of Borobudur created a visual world where the Buddha appears in various forms. These forms allow for multiple layers of interpretation, helping readers understand how the monument functions as a medium for religious expression and spiritual practice. This is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in the visual rhetoric of Buddhist history and Indonesian cultural heritage.
