</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">About three hundred years ago, the existence of this temple is just a hill in the shrub, which the locals called as forest of Borobudur. For the first time the name of Borobudur is known from Negara_Kertagama manuscript written by Mpu_Prapanca in the year 1365 AD, mentioned a monastery in the Budur area. Later in the Babad Tanah Jawi script (1709 - 1710), there is a story of Mas_Dana, a rebel against the king Pakubuwono I, who was caught in the Forest of Borobudur and sentenced to death. Later in the year 1758, there was a story about a prince from Yogyakarta, the Prince Monconagoro interested to see the 1000 statue was in ruins in the jungle of Borobudur. Then in 1814, Thomas Stamford Raffles, get the news from his men, about the existence of hills that covered with carved stones. According to the news, Raffles then sent Cornelius, an admirer of art and history to clean up the hill. With the help of about 200 villagers, HC. Cornelius immediately cleaning and removing the soil covering the Borobudur Temple in 1835. And the efforts of the Head of Kedu residency, the temple can be displayed fully as previously.<br />

</div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Some opinions about the name of Borobudur, took from the name of the village near the temple ruins, or otherwise the name of the village was took from the temple names. could be the name was took from name of the village around the temple ruins, or otherwise the name of the village that adapts to the temple name. In the book of the history of Java in the 18th century is mentioned about the "hill of Borobudur", while the statement given to Raffles (Lieutenant Governor-General of England) in the year 1914 in Bumi_Segoro, said the discovery of ancient relics called "Borobudur". Thus it can be concluded that the name Borobudur is the original name of the temple buildings. Interpretation of Borobudur was also carried out by Raffles, based on the information he collected from the public, Budur has the same meaning with the word Budo, which in Javanese means ancient. Raffles also displays other information that Budo is means the Great, and Budur is means Buddha. So Borobudur means the Great Buddha. However, because the Boro in the ancient Javanese language means a lot, Borobudur can also mean : a lot of Buddha. An expert named Professor. Dr. Poerbotjoroko argues that the word Bara comes from the Sanskrit "VIHARA" which means the temple complex and bihara means dormitory. And his opinion was strengthened by the opinion of Prof.Dr.WF. Stutterhelm who argued that Borobudur means Bihara on the top of a hill. Meanwhile, Prof.. JG. De Casparis based on Karang Tengah inscription, which gives information about the temple's founding year, the Year Sangkala "Rasa_Sagara_Kstidhara", or Year Caka 146 (824 AD), or in the reign of Sailendra dynasty, which glorifies the god Indra. Was mentioned in the inscription a name <strong>Bhumisambharabhudhara</strong>, meaning place of worship of the ancestors of ancestral spirits <br />

For that, he has conducted a comparative study for several years in India. He also went to Sri Lanka to see the top of the building structure Sanchi stupa in Kandy, and the results of Van Erp discovered the building of Borobudur. As for the philosophy and religion was found by Stutterheim and Nj. Chrome, which is about the Buddhist Dharma, who adhered to Mahayana Yogacara sect, which mixes with Tantrayana-Vajrayama sect. Research on the temple structure and the philosophy embodied in the temple took a long time, because there is no comprehensive guidelines about the figure of the original building from the ruins of Borobudur temple.<br />
<br />

</div>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Borobudur Building area: 15,129 m2, which is composed of 55,000 m3 of stones, containing approximately 2 million pieces of rocks. The average size of each stone is 25cm: 10cm: 15 cm. The entire length of the stone pieces are about 500 km, with a total weight of the rocks around 1.3 million tons. </li>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Borobudur wall surrounded by pictures or reliefs depicting a series of stories that is composed of 1460 panels. The length of each panel is 2 meters. So if all series of reliefs are connected in a straight, all the reliefs in length will reach 3 km. </li>
<li>Borobudur consists of ten levels, from level 1 to 6 are square, whereas the level of 7 to 10 are circular. From the surface soil until the end of the main stupa, the original height are 42 meters, but now only 34.5 meters after Thunderstruck. </li>

Borobudur temple in philosophy consists of three levels. The levels were essentially describes the level of human spiritual attainment<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">1. <b>Lowest level: Kamadhatu (The existence of Desire)</b><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">In this stage people are still bound by desire. The reliefs of the base level, Kamadhatu were covered up with an extra wall before they were completely finished. There are two theories for the additional wall: 1) The entire structure began to slide and needed support or 2) Perhaps the explicit material on the reliefs was considered too revealing for the young Buddhist initiates. During the Japanese occupation, part of the wall that exposing reliefs from the Karmawibanggha was removed, such an ancient Tibetan text that discusses good and bad deeds and their consequences. This particular reliefs can be viewed on the southeast corner.<br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</b>In this stage people have left all desire but is still bound to the name and likeness. The Rupadhatu begins with the first terrace. Turning to the left down the corridor we see on the main wall relief’s from the Lalitavistara text, a Sanskrit manuscript which depicts Buddha's life. In brief the story is as follows: Prince Shidharta, the founder of Buddhism, was born in the Lumbini garden in Nepal. His father was a great king. His mother, Maya Dewi, died a week after his birth. Prince Sidharta led a very secluded life. When he reached adulthood he married Princess Gopa. One day he had a vision: he saw four figures that represented aspects of life he had never experienced or imagined: a blind old man, a sick man, a dead man, and a monk. Having experienced this, the Prince was inspired to leave the palace in search of wisdom. He became wanaprastha or a hermit wanderer and studied under famous teachers Brahmapani, Rudraka Aradakalapa and five famous hermits. Despite their teaching he was still unsatisfied. Prince Sidharta practised his own way that is the middle path or madyamika. Finally he meditated under the Bodhi tree in Bodhgaya town and attained Buddhahood. After his enlightenment he was named Buddha Gautama.<br />

On the first terrace there are Manushi Buddhas who have manifested themselves in the world. Each directional point is protected by a Manushi Buddha: Knakanmuni to the South, Kacyapa to the West, Ckvanmuni to the East and Maitreya to the North. On the three higher terraces are Dyani Buddhas or meditative Buddhas. They can be distinguished from one and other by the position of their hands referred to as mudra.<br />

</div>At this level, the humans had no name and form at all. Humans have been free at all and broke up for good ties with all the mortal world. As we ascend the monument, reading the stories and climbing the terraces we will pass six archways. Before the final level, the Arupadhatu, we must pass through a double archway between the third and fourth terrace. These are called the double gates of Nirwikala. After passing through these gates our body leaves its corporeal form. Rupadhatu, and enters the world of formless spirit, Arupadhatu. The Nirwikala is the final door leading to the supreme final reality of Buddhism. The most of architecturally archway is found on the side of the monument.<br />

Batam is one of the islands in the Riau Islands Province. Dominance of marine tourism can actually be an alternative for Batam residents and travelers for a vacation. But unfortunately all maritime tourism potential in this area, looking very minimal handling and innovation development. One of maritime tourist direction that frequently visited is Melur beach, because the white sand and a vast clean and clear panorama of the sea. Melur beach on Galang island territory, which is one of the islands in the group of islands that extends to the southeast island of Batam, and between each island has been connected by bridge.<br />
For those who like to do culinary tour is available at various beach seafood or seafood, from crab, squid, and some types of fish are ready devoured by various preparations.<br />
<br />

<br />
Galang island, in addition to our maritime tourism can also find historical tours of the former camp. Vietnamese refugees. The location of this Vietnamese refugee camp adjacent to the Melur beach. In the past Galang Island was suddenly become the world's attention, especially the UNHCR (United Nation High Commission for Refugees), because it became a shelter of Vietnamese refugees. Visiting this former refugee camp, we can recall wrenching stories behind the camp which is located in the village named Sijantung.<br />
<br />
This human tragedy starts from the conflict between South Vietnam and North Vietnam (Vietcong) in the 1970s. Takeover of Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam by North Vietnam in 1975 triggered the recurrence of war again. This situation is forcing thousands of Vietnamese exodus out of the country.<br />
<br />
The refugees generally use a small boat and loaded with dozens of people who later called boat people. With a small boat of Vietnamese refugees a few years ago risked crossing the South China Sea, in order to get a better life. After floating in the sea, some for months or even up to half a year, many of them are stranded until the waters of Indonesia, including Tanjung Pinang, Natuna, Teluk Keriting, Batu Hitam, Tg. Unggat, Sungai Walang and other areas. In 1979, the UN high commission in charge of refugees (UNHCR) in cooperation with the government of Indonesia chose the island covering an area approximately 80 ha to accommodate refugees scattered, before they were transferred to a third country.Xitalhohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08853165023322586212noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983497476308963692.post-81623942936016845612008-11-30T07:42:00.001-08:002009-11-13T19:51:18.168-08:00Barelang Bridge - Batam<center><br />

The pigment absorbs the red and blue-violet parts of sunlight but reflects the green, thus giving plants their characteristic colour. Other chlorophylls include chlorophyll c (in brown algae) and chlorophyll d (found in red algae).</p> <p>Chlorophyll is found within chloroplasts, present in large numbers in leaves. Cyanobacteria and other photosynthetic bacteria also have chlorophyll, though of a slightly different type. Chlorophyll is similar in structure to haemoglobin, but with magnesium instead of iron as the reactive part of the molecule. Because magnesium is contained in chlorophyll it is considered an essential plant mineral salt. Magnesium can often be a part of a mixture of minerals used as a fertilizer.</p><br /><br /><ul><li><div align="left">Bersihkan bagian dalam tubuh anda dengan meminum chlorophyll setiap hari.</div> </li><li> <div align="left">Sangat bermanfaat bagi orang yang kurang memakan sayur sayuran<br /></div> </li><li> <div align="left">Chlorophyll adalah zat hijau daun pada tumbuhan yang merupakan sumber kehidupan melalui proses fotosintesis.</div> </li><li> <div align="left">Struktur kimia Chlorophyll sangat mirip dengan struktur Haemoglobin (sel darah merah)</div> </li><li> <div align="left">Merupakan bahan yang sangat alami dan aman untuk di konsumsi siapapun<br /></div></li></ul> <p><strong>Chlorophyll sebagai darah hijau : </strong></p> <ul><li>1912, Dr.Alexis dalam tesisnya “Sel yang abadi” penelitiannya menunjukkan pentingnya membuang racun untuk meningkatkan kesehatan </li><li>1915, Dr.Richard W, menemukan struktur kimia dari chlorophyll </li><li>1930, Dr.Hans Fischer, penemuan struktur kimia hemoglobin yang mirip dengan struktur kimia chlorophyll </li></ul> <p><strong>3 manfaat dari chlorophyll :</strong></p> <ul><li>Membersihkan, membantu detoksifikasi dan mengurangi racun dalam tubuh. </li><li>Melancarkan, menyeimbangkan sistem hormonal serta keseimbangan asam-basa dalam tubuh </li><li>Memberi nutrisi,meningkatkan pemasukan nutrisi dalam darah untuk menaikkan oksigen level dalam darah, membantu regenerasi sel darah merah, menghambat proses oksidasi dan menstimulasi regenerasi sel </li></ul> <p> <strong>Manfaat chlorophyll bagi tubuh</strong></p> <ul><li>Menambah tenaga </li><li>Menghambat pertumbuhan bakteri </li><li>Memperbaiki kesehatan mulut </li><li>Meningkatkan fungsi jantung </li><li>Mengurangi bau badan </li><li>Keseimbangan asam dan basa </li><li>Meningkatkan sel darah merah </li><li>Memperbaiki kondisi anemia (kurang darah) </li><li>Meringankan masalah asma </li><li>Meningkatkan sirkulasi darah </li><li>Mengurangi peradangan </li><li>Memperbaiki fungsi liver (hati) </li><li>Meringankan rasa nyeri </li><li>Membantu masalah insomnia (susah tidur) </li><li>Memperkuat sistem kekebalan tubuh </li><li>Menormalkan suhu badan </li><li>Meningkatkan metabolisme </li><li>Membantu fungsi kelenjar thyroid </li><li>Mengurangi resiko bronchitis </li><li>Meningkatkan fungsi paru-paru </li><li>Mempercepat penyembuhan luka </li><li>Memperbaiki fungsi sel </li><li>Detoksifikasi darah </li><li>Bertindak sebagai anti kanker </li><li>Meningkatkan zat besi dalam tubuh </li><li>Membersihkan darah </li><li>Membantu masalah pencernaan </li><li>Membantu masalah pencernaan </li><li>Menunda proses penuaan </li><li>Mengurangi masalah sendi dan tulang </li><li>Meningkatkan sistem traktus urinarius </li><li>Menyegarkan tenggorokan </li><li>Mengurangi sakit pada waktu Haid </li><li>Perokok </li><li>Kurang konsumsi sayur sayuran<br /></li></ul> <p>Sangat baik dikonsumsi oleh penderita :</p> <ul><li>Alergi </li><li>Asma </li><li>Radang Sendi </li><li>Rematik </li><li>Stroke </li><li>Kanker </li><li>Prostat </li><li>Diabetes </li><li>Wasir / Ambein </li><li>Epilepsi </li><li>Flu </li><li>Gonorrhea </li><li>Gout </li><li>Hati </li><li>Infeksi </li><li>Imsomnia </li><li>Ginjal </li><li>Batu Ginjal </li><li>Batu Empedu </li><li>Bisul </li><li>Radang Saluran Kemih </li><li>Gatal disertai bintik bintik merah </li><li>Luka </li><li>Mimisan </li></ul></span>Xitalhohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08853165023322586212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983497476308963692.post-65472420556971089982008-01-13T01:18:00.000-08:002009-12-01T22:45:14.843-08:00Greenshrub Sitemap<script src="http://www.abu-farhan.com/script/daftarisiblogger/blogtoc-min.js">

The park covers a total surface area of 89,065 hectares, 97% of which is overlain by sparkling clear, warm tropical water. The remaining 3% of the park is terrestrial, including the five islands of Bunaken, Manado Tua, Mantehage, Nain and Siladen. Although each of these islands has a special character, it is the aquatic ecosystem that attracts most naturalists.<br /></div><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwPvoUX74jlHHW9633LtYr73Ame5WGtO37YzWfxs7LyCrfUrnoOzRshtipaodqWk61h9oWvCN6sD27kUv94iUVUkEjtgsXPMbkyHf2_2HGaSMwgNkBackB2lcUgMR_b9FZlC1knYpJQgcw/s320/Bunaken_village_Background_Manado_Tua.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152248137051761650" /><br /><div align="justify">The waters of Bunaken National Marine Park are extremely deep (1566 m in Manado Bay), clear (up to 35-40 m visibility), refreshing in temperature (27-29 C) and harbor some of the highest levels of biodiversity in the world. Pick any of group of interest - corals, fish, echinoderms or sponges - and the number of families, genera or species is bound to be astonishingly high. For example, 7 of the 8 species of giant clams that occur in the world, occur in Bunaken. The park has around 70 genera of corals; compare this to a mere 10 in Hawaii. Although the exact number of fish species is unknown, it may be slightly higher than in the Philippines, where 2,500 species, or nearly 70% of all fish species known to the Indo-western Pacific, are found.<br /><br />Oceanic currents may explain, in part, why Bunaken National Marine Park is such a treasure trove of biodiversity. Northeasternly currents generally sweep through the park but abundant counter currents and gyros related to lunar cycles are believed to be a trap for free swimming larvae. This is particularly true on the south side of the crescent-shaped Bunaken Island, lying in the heart of the park. A snorkler or diver in the vicinity of Lekuan or Fukui may spot over 33 species of butterfly fish and numerous types of groupers, damsels, wrasses and gobies. The gobies, smallish fish with bulging eyes and modified fins that allow them to attach to hard surfaces, are the most diverse but least known group of fish in the park.<br /></div><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlQ_5_ItuaW9l4_Eny-Ycw4G50ly79MXrkY-BWyCqIi7DfgzJRWuiSNzfa2a4L_40DhhEDRkde3JvwiDzn26GxZnFVpDcDX3NMHKliMRCNtz0eOOWUCwPuy0CfI2mTBEllNB1_wzPO-6og/s320/_big_paper-article855-img1541_bunaken.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152248270195747842" /><br /><div align="justify">Biologists believe that the abundance of hard corals is crucial in maintaining the high levels of diversity in the park. Hard corals are the architects of the reefs, without them, numerous marine organisms would be homeless and hungry. Many species of fish are closely associated with particular types of corals (folious, branching, massives, etc.) for shelter and egg-laying. Others, like the enormous Bumphead Parrotfish, Balbometopon muricatum, are "coralivores" and depend on hard corals for their sustenance. Bony mouth parts fused into an impressive "beak" allow these gregarious fish to crunch corals like roasted peanuts.<br /></div><div align="right"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgb0VBqkCqeRtAmqKpkAuCQW_w7TqvcYuqBXvDkAV24S9sbBrK6xcNAvOW9lQYtJy3IiSesz3iUyd99eSmDG2pR_mAHp0D8P30000ctZAG33RhgLsdLXNjBSbXwIMc48Tp9opciuFoUNzC/s320/bunaken3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152247802044312530" /></div><div align="right"><br /></div><br /><div align="justify">Some 20,000 people live on the natural resources of Bunaken National Marine Park. Although there are inevitable conflicts between resource protection and use by people, the Indonesian government is taking a fairly unusual and pragmatic approach to park management. The idea is to promote wise resource use while preventing overexploitation. Local communities, government officials, dive resort operators, local nature groups, tourists and scientists have played an active role in developing exclusive zones for diving, wood collection, fishing and other forms of utilization. Bunaken Marine Park has become an important example of how Sulawesi, and the rest of Indonesia, can work to protect its natural resources.<br /></div><br /><div align="right"><i>[Source : www.north-sulawesi.org]</i><br /></div><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv6-As_-GZrmC8gFv9ojGV9Iw6WEx9EYS3pmhXwCRw7PYNfLOQwpSk1q9YXSoBqV00noI8OETDfhUhzWzoMXy5OYh6UME_uTztOQ6ombd9u7EaUPW7PdOpQm7fwsMDLAZ47SKezuchrybc/s320/bunaken2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152247690375162818" /><br /><br /></div></span>Xitalhohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08853165023322586212noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983497476308963692.post-25984285906388068442008-01-03T20:10:00.000-08:002008-11-17T07:59:55.350-08:00Hidden Paradise for surfing<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#3333ff;">Hidden Paradise of Indian Ocean</span></span></strong><br /></div><br /><span style="color:#3333ff;">Located in the middle of Indian Ocean, 150 km and takes 9 hours trip from Padang, West Sumatra-Mentawai glowing with all the nature spirits and make it an extraordinary escaping spot from a hectic life.
