The marginalized temple

I have been to the furthest beeches in DIY

and now my journey to the furthest temple.. in DIY situated in Candirejo, Semin, Gunung Kidul

it is a budhist temple... a temple in ruins.. surrounded by a 1 m tall green and rusty barb wire fences on the top of a hill side..

the enterance welcomes a Awalokiteswara Statue with a small hand shovel on its shoulders

one that is left on by the locals for farming.. or something

it is the most isolated temple... not isolated by people but isolated by it religiuos meaning..

isolated by other temples.. by other places of the budhist worship...

seems strange . . . what happended to the budhits population in that village? how communities change... from a budhist community .. and a temple in ruins as place for worship and now 10 meters from the temple is a church a big church... surrounded by the christian community

that is history.. history changes and history is dynamic..

marginalized and isolated.. candirejo..

efforts has been taken to restore the borobudur, pawon and mendut temples but no efforts have been there to restore candirejo... they are both buddhist temples.. the difference is the distance..

pawon and mendut are just 2 km from the borobudur temple whereas candirejo is more than 60 km.. to the far east and north of gunung kidul..

distance causes lack of attention.. this is the problems that we face in the world..

the buddhist cailendra dynasties starting from ...

Bhanu (752-775) Wisnu (775-782 ) Indra (782-812) Samaratungga (812-833) Pramodhawardhani (833-856) Balaputradewa (833-850)

the dynasties rise and the dyansities ended... great monuments are made and other temples are forgeten...

that is life

it is about rising and it is about falling..

it is clear when temples are being forgoten by the world... being forgotten by history

it is not taken care of.. it is just a list in the government achive of temples in Indonesia

no pictures no stories no effort... nothing being learnt... just a green rusty fence...

the forgotten temples.. the marginalized temples are temples with trees are growing on top of it..

you have coconut trees, hard wood timber, guava tree, pepaya fruit tree ... no longer a sacred place... nothing special about it.. nothing amazing..

time distort things... make things loose it meaning...

this temple have lost the war verse time... time was this temple enemy..

i want to make sure that time is not my enemy but time is my friend..

patients is my friend... time will enrich someones charater

and time will build stronger relationships.. there will always be ups dan down...

there will always be the hole in the road or even temples which are cumbles in ruins..

time will make people older but it makes them mature...

time will give experience and with time you can learn..

my time will not be the forgotten temple...

my time will not be the marginalized temple..

my time will not be the isolated temple.....

my time would be a detailed relief of my life engraved on the walls of time..

and not an empty picture on a white canvas frame..

my time would be my meaning...
