of Life
Once
upon a time, there was a mystical place deep in the woods known as the castle
of one-thousand reflections.
A
pleasant and happy young man was told about this place and decided to pay a
visit to this castle. After traveling for many days, he arrived at his
destination. Upon seeing the castle, he said to himself, “What a beautiful
place!”
He
peeped into the hall to check if there was anyone there. He took off his
baseball cap and scratched his head wondering why nobody was around in such a
beautiful castle.
As
he walked further, he was extremely surprised to see one-thousand young men
taking off their caps, waving and smiling at him. He did not know the walls in
the hall were covered with one-thousand mirrors. He was very happy with his new
discovery and thought to himself, “This is a wonderful place. I will come back
again.”
Soon,
news about this wonderful place spread. There was another young man who was
unhappy with life and wanted to visit the castle to find happiness.
After
many hard days of traveling, he finally arrived and grumbled at the mystical
castle. He said to himself, “What a horrible place!” As he walked into the room
of one-thousand mirrors, he saw one-thousand sad and unfriendly-looking young
men, staring angrily at him and appearing as hostile as him. Not only was he
angry but he was also terrified of the images. He thought to himself, “What a terrible
place with so many angry aggressive faces. I swear I will never return here
again.”

Borobudur
is abandoned in the 11th century and partially excavated by
archeologist in the early 20th century. It is well-known all

of eight-step like stone terraces, one on top of the other.
The
first five terraces are square and surrounded by walls adorned with Buddhist
sculpture in bas-relief; the upper three are circular, each with a circle of
