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.

Adjectives are words that describe nouns or pronouns. Adjectives answer the questions:
What kind? How much? Which one? How many?
Attributive and predicative adjectives When an adjective comes before a noun, it is
attributive.
For example:
an idyllic landscape
this massive monument

When an adjective is separated from the noun and comes after the verb, it is
predicative. It is a complement of the verb and not an object. For example: Many of these
statues are missing or damaged.

Participles as adjectives Present and past participles can be used as adjectives. For
example: A stepped pyramid
The hidden base of Borobudur

Many compound adjectives are formed with participles.

For example:
rice-terraced hills
