...snip...
“Borobudur is a Buddhist shrine, to be sure. This shrine is more than about worshipping Buddha, it is about BECOMING Buddha, the future Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, to be exact. At the very top of this 10-terraced, man-made mountain is a stupa (a bell-shaped structure) that houses the “essence” of Buddha Maitreya. This stupa is considered to be a type of “cosmic womb.” Some believe it holds the “embryonic” Maitreya who is waiting to be born. (More in Appendix.)
The 2,672 relief panels teach about a young man named Sudhana who went searching for enlightenment and found it in the wisdom of Maitreya. The panels apparently start on the first level, east side (the side facing the rising sun), and end at the top at the Main Stupa. There are a number of Buddha statues on the first level that are “protectors.” Maitreya Buddha is depicted as the “protector” facing the North.
Today’s pilgrims won’t do this next part (and I’m sure we won’t be shown if Obama does it), but originally this temple was built by the kings of the Sailendra dynasty, between approximately 300 A.D. to 900 A.D. These kings were of the “solar god” mentality, believing that they were God-Kings and ordained by the Sun to their kingship. There was a ritual that took place at the very top of Borobudur for each king as he came to power. It involved him “bellowing like a bull” and “calling out to the North” that he was “Lord of the World” and that his father’s spirit now rested in him. (See Appendix, Barabudur, Mendut and Pawon and their mutual relationship section for more notes on this ritual.)
Considering the KING TUT sold in Cairo with NEW “PHARAOH” (RULER) OF THE WORLD on it, Obama going to a “complex” where past rulers declared to the NORTH, I AM LORD OF THE WORLD, isn’t comforting. I agree, one says “ruler,” the other says “lord,” but there isn’t much difference between them. If you consider the plaque on the 2-foot Hanuman idol that Obama was given, it has the word “shri” engraved which means “lord” or “master.” I really hate coincidences like these!

You just gave me my first big laugh of the day. Thanks!
The great 0 in a sarong?
When those pictures circulate, it’s really going to help boost those abysmal job approval ratings.
A Muslim head cap and prayer rug and his ensemble will be complete.
You know, there’s really something sarong with this whole idea.
The guy in the White House has similar powers and can become anything he chooses to be. Thus for this trip he will metamorphis himself into an islander.
Question is: Will he opt for boxers, jockeys or...............beneath the sarong ? The media needs to know.
...err... stupas -- right?
Is this a Buddhist temple? I’d be willing to cut him a little slack here...it’s not a mosque. As long as he is spared the bow.
A sarong can only help MO.
Do we make a habit of putting our foreign guests in 'western garb' when they appear in our country. Think NOT! Now that would be offensive!
Of course, equally offensive if not stupid to do so when our Leaders travel. While some succumb to the dreaded 'photo op' if only for a moment of good will - and that bad enough - but 'wearing' the clothes. . .NO WAY is that appropriate.
But nothing appropriate about America's 'first couple' either/gag/sigh. . .Will we suffer the added humiliation of more bows?
Sarong, it ain’t a shroud, but it’s a start.......
Imagine how many tingles Chrissy Matthews will get seeing his “guy” dressed in a skirt.
He can pander to everyone else . . yet he can’t place his hand over his heart .. no sirree
This presidency is nothing but a costume party. And tax payers are footin’ the bill.
