Borobudur is well-known all over the world. Its construction is influenced by the Gupta architecture of India. The temple is constructed on
a hill 46 meter high and consists of eight steps like stone terrace. The first five terraces are square and surrounded by walls adorned with
Buddhist sculpture in bas-relief. The upper three are circular. Each of them is with a circle of bell shape-stupa. The entire upper structure is
crowned by a large stupa at the center of the top circle. The way to the summit extends through some 4.8 km of passage and stairways.

The design of Borobudur symbolizes the conception of universe in Buddhist cosmology. It is believed that the universe is divided into
three spiritual spheres, kamadhatu, rupadhatu, and arupadhatu. The first sphere, kamadhatu, represents respectively the sphere of desires
where we are bound to our desires; the second sphere, rupadhatu, represents forms where we abandon our desires but are still bound to
name and form; and the last sphere, arupadhatu, represents formlessness where there is no longer either name or form. Borobudur temple
which is rededicated as an Indonesian monument in 1983 is a valuable treasure for Indonesian people. With its magnificent size and
architecture, no wonder that Borobudur Temple includes 7 wonders of the world.

Komodo
Do you know what is the largest lizard? This lizard is called komodo. It lives in the scrub and woodland of a few Indonesian islands.The
Komodo dragon is the world’s heaviest lizard, weighing 150 pounds or more. The largest Komodo ever measured was more than 10 feet (3
meters) long and weighed 366 pounds (166 kg) but the average size of Komodo in the wild is about 8 feet (2.5 meters) long and 200
pounds (91 kg). Komodo has gray scaly skin, a pointed snout, powerful limbs, and a muscular tail. They use their keen sense of smell to
locate decaying animal remains from several miles away. They also hunt other lizards as well as large mammals and are sometimes
cannibalistic.
The Komodo dragon’s teeth are almost completely covered by its gums. When it feeds, the gums bleed, creating an ideal culture for
virulent bacteria. The bacteria that live in the Komodo dragon’s saliva cause septicemia, or blood poisoning, in its victims. A dragon will
bite its prey, then follow it until the animal is too weak to carry on.
This lizard species is threatened by hunting, loss of prey species, and habitat loss.
