Borobudur was built by King Samaratungga, one of the king of the ancient Mataram kingdom, descendant of Sailendra dynasty. Based on the inscriptions Kayumwungan, an Indonesian named Hudaya Kandahjaya revealed that Borobudur is a place of worship that was completed on 26 May 824. But anyway There are several versions about the time of construction of Borobudur. Some contend, Borobudur construction period is estimated to take about one century, between 750-847 AD in 3 generations of ancient Mataram kingdom Buddhist Sailendra dynasty. The construction of this temple began during the Maha Raja Sri Sanggramadananjaya Dananjaya the title, followed by his son, Samarattungga, and completed by his granddaughter, Dyah Ayu Pramodhawardhani.

Meanwhile, according to Prof. JG. De Casparis, based at Middle Reef inscription mentioning years of its establishment, the Year Sangkala: sagara kstidhara taste, or Caka year 746 (824), or during the Sailendra dynasty that glorifies God Indra. Casparis estimate Borobudur temple built by King Samarattungga in the year 824 AD Based on the inscription Kulrak (784M) temple construction was completed in 847 AD, that is, by his daughter, Queen Dyah Pramudawardhani.

In practice, the construction of the temple was assisted by a teacher from Ghandadwipa (Bengalore) named Kumaragacya, and a prince from Kashmir named Visvawarman as an expert advisor in the Tantric Vajrayana Buddhism. Architecture that creates the temple, by speech communities named Gunadharma .almost one hundred years since the beginning of 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 place.

Some experts said that the position of the Borobudur Temple is located at an altitude of 235 meters above sea level. This is based on studies of the geologists who are able to prove that Borobudur at the time was a large lake area so most of the villages located around Borobudur Temple were at the same height, including Pawon and Mendut.

While the foundation of philosophy and religion invented by Stutterheim and NJ. Chrome, ie about Buddhism Mahayana Dharma-Yogacara and there is a tendency also mixed with a flow-Tantric Vajrayana. According to the survey-ethnologist Austrian anthropologist Robert von Heine Geldern, the ancestors of Indonesia already familiar with the culture in the Neolithic and Megalithic era from South Vietnam and Cambodia.                                                                              History of the origin of the name Borobudur, some antiquities experts expressed different versions. According to Prof. Dr. Poerbotjoroko, Borobudur comes Bhoro and Budur said. "Bhoro" is derived from Sanskrit which means complex "temple, bihara or dorm," while the word "budur" refers to the language of Bali, "beduhur" which means "above." This opinion is corroborated by Prof. Dr. WF. Stutterheim who argued that Borobudur means "bihara on top of a hill." While according Casparis, based Middle Reef inscription, Borobudur comes from BhūmiSambhāraBhudhāra, which in Sanskrit means "Hill set ten levels boddhisattwa virtue."

THE REAL FACT LIVING IN WONDERFUL INDONESIA

Indonesia,, Indonesia,,, Indonesia,,, What do you think about Indonesia.?? That’s right one beautiful under developing countries in Asia. Economic growth in Indonesia running slow, the impact of finance crisis in the world. Unbalanced economic growth with population growth Indonesia make the situation become complicated, plus Uneven economic growth between big city in Indonesia with others place or small province. Most people from small province goes to some big city like Jakarta-Surabaya-Medan looking for the job and try his fortune.

This is because unbalanced economic growth in Indonesia. They leave the village goes to Jakarta with one suitcase hope. wuuuaaahhh,,, can you imagine how crowded in Jakarta. All the people pursuing his dream. They work hard to get their dream, start in the morning until night coming. Some people still try looking for the job, competition is very tight in big city like Jakarta. Employment opportunities are rare. Compared with job seeker. Created a greater jobless. Economic trouble that happen in big city, all prices bounced higher, made inaccessible to the poor people, social inequality ensued.

The fact some poor people is very difficult to live in Indonesia but in other side some people riotous spree,, or spend money for nothing. Indonesia’s economic growth develops gradually. In 2012 the government of Indonesia continues to increase Economic growth. Until it reaches 6,4 % on September. 2012, put Indonesia’s economic growth in the second position after China. But the fact is equality of economic which is less in Indonesia. Honestly is really difficult create economic equality In Indonesia. Indonesia is an archipelagic country spread from Sumatera until Papua. And with high population.

 Indonesian people are scattered across the country, some areas have developed rapidly but some areas are still lagging. But live in Indonesia actually still cheaper if we compare with the others country in the world, food, transportation, price of goods, gasoline. That’s why , if the people from foreign country come to Indonesia they can buy everything with their small amount of money in Indonesia.

 But still for some Indonesian people although has worked hard, extremely difficult meet their needs. Frequent price increases make do not make their needs fulfilled. At globalization era with finance crisis in the world, Government in Indonesia has tried to curb inflation. Actually we can always promote the tourism sector to increase foreign exchange earnings and income of common people. Indonesian People should work together for the progress of the nation.
