Besides decorated with beautiful reliefs, Borobudur Temple also has 504 statues of Buddha sitting all of which are carved on a round stone sabongkah. All the statues illustrating the Dhyani Buddha or meditating Buddhist are spread to different levels, from the lower to the top, rupadhatu and arupadhatu.
The Buddha Dhyani is different from the Buddha in history. They are not enlightened earthly beings, but they are transcendental savers who sit on their lotuses in eternal reverence, peace, and meditation with half-closed eyes.
The most striking feature of this Buddha is his simplicity. He is illustrated with a Buddha dressed in a monk’s suit in a suit with folds that fall down or almost tightly covering the body like “wet clothes”. His cloak showed only his wrists, neck, and ankles. Another physical feature is a point on his forehead, right between his eyebrows. This simplicity in Buddhist portrayal is a combination of loyalty and tenderness that produces the beauty of this statue.
