Srivijaya's Buddhist Empire: The Sailendra Dynasty and Borobudur
Before Srivijaya became the maritime superpower of the Strait of Malacca, the Sailendra dynasty built Borobudur—the world's largest Buddhist monument—in central Java. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Sailendra connection to Srivijaya, the religious and political alliance that shaped Southeast Asian Buddhism, and the mysterious shift of power from Java to Sumatra. Featuring the Kedu Plain, Mahayana Buddhism, the Pala Empire of India, and the great Maharaja Balaputradewa, this episode uncovers how a stone mandala became a symbol of an empire's reach.
