Arriving in California nearly penniless in the 1850s, Whitney would become the richest man in Placer County, owning over 27,000 acres. When Whitney passed away in 1913, he chose to be entombed in a pyramid, with the belief that it would bestow reincarnation on him. [He had no idea rebirth was inevitable in any case.]

What is Pyramid Meditation?

Meditation pyramid for sale (Giza 46) - Etsy

Meditation done inside a pyramid is thrice more powerful meditation done outside a pyramid, or underneath a pyramid. But any of these are called Pyramid Meditation. Many people experience feelings ranging from calm to extreme euphoria during their meditation sessions inside pyramids.

Could one sleep inside for better dreaming?

Pyramids provide the most effective high-energy environments for beginners. Pyramids help reduce the level of stress and tension in the physical body.

Most people who have experimented with Pyramid Meditation describe themselves as experiencing total bodily relaxation, followed by the shutting out of distracting external stimuli and irrelevant discursive thoughts. Finally, one achieves an altered state of consciousness that allows the practitioner to concentrate on deeper inner levels. More

Hiking Gabrielino Trail near JPL, Los Angeles

Hiking the Gabrielino Trail from JPL to the dam in the riparian environment | drone footage

It's easy, right? - This is so beautiful!

(Diggin SoCal Outdoor Adventures) The hike begins in the JPL parking lot, above the reservoir and dam visible from the 210 Freeway.

Up the Gabrielino Trail, established by the "Gabrielino Indians" (the Indigenous Kizh or Tongva of Los Angeles, once known as Tovaangar), beyond Gould Mesa Trail Camp and Paul Little Picnic Area, ending up at the dam (about 3.5 miles in one direction).

This is beautiful hike is leisurely with easy trails (and dangerous rattlesnakes warming themselves in the dappled light and mulch of fallen leaves).

Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz

However, it does involve crisscrossing the water numerous times. A river runs down and sinks beneath JPL to come up again at Devil's Gate Dam. This is usually easy but could pose a problem when it rains and the water level rises and becomes a whitewater chute.

Good hiking shoes and plenty of water are always smart choices, particularly as the weather warms. There is also poison oak (the reddish green leaves with a waxy coating in the brush next to the trail). Along the trail there was one snake no one would want to step on or have a dog bark at. Also, it's beloved by mountain bikers, who race by with hardly a warning. #dronefootage #hiking #hikingadventures

The Grand Buddha (灵山大佛 or Língshān Dà Fó) is located at the southern end of Longshan Mountain, near Mashan, Wuxi township, Jiangsu province in the People's Republic of China. It is one of the largest Buddha statues in the world. It is a bronze standing Amitabha Buddha that weighs over 700 tons, completed in 1996. It is 289 feet (88 m) high, including a 30 foot (9 m) lotus pedestal. In 2008, a five-signets palace and a Hindu-inspired Brahma palace were built southeast of the statue. More

World's largest Buddhist temple: Borobudur

It's even more magnificent than the misty views from it toward the volcano (KBS TV)

Borobudur (Indonesian Candi Borobudur, "The City of Buddhas" or "High Buddhist Vihara") is a 9th-century Mahayana Buddhist temple in Magelang Regency, not far from the town of Muntilan, in Central Java, Indonesia.

It is the world's largest Buddhist temple (Guiness Book of World Records, Notes 1, 2, 3]. The temple complex consists of nine stacked platforms, six square and three circular, topped by a central dome or stupa (burial mound reliquary).

There are Buddhas inside hollow stupas.

It is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues. The central dome is surrounded by 72 Buddha statues, each seated inside a perforated stupa [4] (which resembles a German time travel "bell" or Die Glocke).

Thought to be built in the 9th century, during the reign of the Sailendra Dynasty, the temple design follows Javanese Buddhist architecture, which blends the Indonesian indigenous cult of ancestor worship and the Buddhist concept of attaining Nirvana [3].

Ascend the levels of Buddhist cosmology.

The temple demonstrates the influences of Gupta art that reflects India's influence on the region. Yet, there are enough indigenous scenes and elements incorporated to make Borobudur uniquely Indonesian [5, 6].

The monument is a shrine to the historical Buddha and a destination for Buddhist pilgrimage. The pilgrim-journey begins at the base of the monument and follows a path around it, ascending to the top through three levels symbolizing the three spheres in  Buddhist cosmology:

1. 
   Kāmadhātu (Sensual Sphere)
2. Rūpadhātu (Fine Material Sphere)
3. Arūpadhātu (Immaterial Sphere).

The massive monument guides pilgrims through an extensive system of stairways and corridors with 1,460 narrative relief panels on the walls and the balustrades.

Borobudur has one of the largest and most complete ensembles of Buddhist reliefs in the world [3].

.

Evidence suggests -- but is not conclusive -- that Borobudur was constructed in the 9th century and subsequently abandoned following the 14th-century decline of Indian-influenced Indonesian Hindu kingdoms in Java and the Javanese people's conversion to Islam [7].

Worldwide knowledge of its existence was sparked in 1814 by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, then the imperial British ruler of Java, who was advised of its location by native Indonesians [8].

Borobudur has since been preserved through several restorations. The largest restoration project was undertaken between 1975 and 1982 by the Indonesian government and UNESCO, followed by the monument's listing as a UNESCO World Heritage Site [3].

Borobudur is the largest Buddhist temple in the world. It ranks with Pagan (Bagan) in Burma (Myanmar) and Angkor Wat in Buddhist Cambodia as one of the great archeological sites of Southeast Asia.

Borobudur remains popular for pilgrimage, with remnant indigenous Buddhists in Indonesia celebrating Vesak Day at the monument.

Borobudur is Indonesia's single most visited tourist attraction [9, 10, 11], as is the case with many Buddhist temples, magnificent in scale and the mystery of their construction -- Mes Aynak, Afghanistan, the Ellora and Ajanta Caves of India, Leshan Mountain Buddha of China, Maitreya Buddha of Bhutan, the massive new Relics Tour Buddha in Kushinagar, India, Shwedagon Pagoda in Burma, and countless others around the world.

What about the name?

The bas relief collection rivals Angkor Wat

In the Indonesian language, ancient temples are referred to as candi. Thus, locals refer to "Borobudur Temple" as Candi Borobudur. The term candi also loosely describes ancient structures, for example gates and baths.

The origins of the name "Borobudur," however, are unclear [12]. In fact, the original names of most ancient Indonesian temples are no longer known [12].

Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles' History of Java

The name Borobudur was first written in Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles' book on Javan history, The History of Java (Harvard) [13]. Sir Raffles wrote about a monument called Borobudur, but there are no older documents suggesting the same name.

The only old Javanese manuscript that hints that the monument called Budur is a holy Buddhist sanctuary is Nagarakretagama, written by Mpu Prapanca, a Buddhist scholar of Majapahit court, in 1365 [14].

Sukarno took Nehru to Borobudur, June 1950

Most candi are named after a nearby village. So if it followed Javanese language conventions and was named after the nearby village of Bore, the monument would have been named "BudurBoro."

Sir Raffles thought that Budur might correspond to the modern Javanese word Buda ("ancient") — that is, "Ancient Boro." But Raffles also suggested that the name might derive from boro, meaning "great" or "honorable" and Budur for Buddha [12].

Yet another archeologist suggests the second component of the name (-Budur) comes from Javanese term bhudhara ("mountain") [15].

.

Another possible etymology by Dutch archeologist A.J. Bernet Kempers suggests that Borobudur is the corrupted, simplified local Javanese pronunciation of Biara Beduhur, which written in Sanskrit is Vihara Buddha Uhr.

Perforated, hollow stupas house Buddhas

The term Buddha-Uhr could mean "The City of Buddhas." Another possible term Beduhur is probably an Old Javanese word, still surviving in Balinese, that means "a high place," constructed from the stem word dhuhur or luhur ("high").

This suggests that Borobudur means "Vihara ("monastic complex") of the Buddha" located on a high place or on a hill [16].

The construction and inauguration of a sacred Buddhist building — possibly but not certainly any reference to Borobudur — was mentioned in two inscriptions... More
