Annex I contains the full text of the retrospective Statements of Outstanding Universal Value concerned. Draft Decision: 36 COM 8E, see Point II. I. Background 1. A Statement of Outstanding Universal Value represents a formalization, in an agreed format, of the reasons why a World Heritage property has Outstanding Universal Value. The concept of Statement of Outstanding Universal Value, as an essential requirement for the inscription of a property on the World Heritage List, was introduced in the Operational Guidelines in 2005. All sites inscribed since 2007 present such a Statement. 2. In 2007, the World Heritage Committee (see Decision 31 COM 11D.1), requested that Statements of Outstanding Universal Value be drafted and approved retrospectively, for all World Heritage properties inscribed between 1978 and 2006, prior to the launching of the Second Cycle of Periodic Reporting in each Region. 3. As a consequence, in the framework of the Second Cycle of the Periodic Reporting Exercise, or in preparation for it, several States Parties have drafted retrospective Statements of Outstanding Universal Value for World Heritage properties located within their territories. These draft Statements have been or are being reviewed by the relevant Advisory Body(ies). The ninety-four Statements whose review process has been finalized, and which have obtained the final agreement of the thirty-six States Parties concerned, are presented to the World Heritage Committee in this document, for adoption. 4. The retrospective Statements of Outstanding Universal Value contained in Annex I are presented in the following order: - natural, mixed, cultural properties; - Arab States, Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Europe and North America; - State Party, in alphabetical order; - property, by year of inscription and by identification number. Annex I is preceded by a table of contents aiming at facilitating its consultation. II. Draft Decision Draft Decision 36 COM 8E The World Heritage Committee, 1. Having examined Document WHC-12/36.COM/8E, 2. Congratulates States Parties for the excellent work accomplished in the elaboration of retrospective Statements of Outstanding Universal Value for World Heritage properties in their territories; 3. Adopts the retrospective Statements of Outstanding Universal Value, as presented in the Annex of Document WHC-12/36.COM/8E, for the following World Heritage properties: - Australia: Great Barrier Reef; Lord Howe Island Group; Gondwana Rainforests of Australia; Wet Tropics of Queensland; Fraser Island; Adoption of retrospective Statements WHC-12/36.COM/8E, p. 2 of Outstanding Universal Value Australian Fossil Mammal Sites (Riversleigh / Naracoorte); Heard and McDonald Islands; Macquarie Island; Purnululu National Park; - Bangladesh: Historic Mosque City of Bagerhat; - Cambodia: Angkor; - China: Mount Taishan; The Great Wall; Imperial Palaces of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in Beijing and Shenyang; Mogao Caves; Peking Man Site at Zhoukoudian; Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area; Temple and Cemetery of Confucius, and the Kong Family Mansion in Qufu; Ancient Building Complex in the Wudang Mountains; Historic Ensemble of the Potala Palace, Lhasa; Lushan National Park; Mount Emei Scenic Area, including Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area; Old Town of Lijiang; Temple of Heaven: an Imperial Sacrificial Altar in Beijing; Mount Wuyi; Dazu Rock Carvings; Mount Qincheng and the Dujiangyan Irrigation System; Capital Cities and Tombs of the Ancient Koguryo Kingdom; Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries – Wolong, Mt Siguniang and Jiajin Mountains; - Côte d’Ivoire and Guinea: Mount Nimba Strict Nature Reserve; - Democratic People’s Republic of Korea: Complex of Koguryo Tombs; - Democratic Republic of the Congo: Virunga National Park; Garamba National Park; Kahuzi-Biega National Park; Salonga National Park; - Egypt: Wadi Al-Hitan (Whale Valley); - Estonia: Historic Centre (Old Town) of Tallinn; - Ethiopia: Rock-Hewn Churches, Lalibela; Lower Valley of the Awash; Lower Valley of the Omo; Harar Jugol, the Fortified Historic Town; - Gambia: Kunta Kinteh Island and Related Sites; - Gambia and Senegal: Stone Circles of Senegambia; - Ghana: Forts and Castles, Volta, Greater Accra, Central and Western Regions; Asante Traditional Buildings; - India: Taj Mahal; Keoladeo National Park; Sundarbans National Park; Nanda Devi and Valley of Flowers National Parks; - Indonesia: Borobudur Temple Compounds; Prambanan Temple Compounds; - Islamic Republic of Iran: Bam and its Cultural Landscape; - Kazakhstan: Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi; Petroglyphs within the Archaeological Landscape of Tamgaly; - Madagascar: Tsingy de Bemaraha Strict Nature Reserve; Royal Hill of Ambohimanga; - Malaysia: Gunung Mulu National Park; - Mali: Timbuktu; Cliff of Bandiagara (Land of the Dogons); Tomb of Askia; - Mongolia: Orkhon Valley Cultural Landscape; - Nepal: Sagarmatha National Park; Kathmandu Valley; Chitwan National Park; Lumbini, the Birthplace of the Lord Buddha; - New Zealand: Te Wahipounamu – South West New Zealand; New Zealand Sub-Antarctic Islands; - Nigeria: Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove; - Pakistan: Archaeological Ruins at Moenjodaro; - Philippines: Baroque Churches of the Philippines; Puerto-Princesa Subterranean River National Park; - Republic of Korea: Seokguram Grotto and Bulguksa Temple; Haeinsa Temple Janggyeong Pangeon, the Depositories for the Tripitaka Koreana Woodblocks; Jongmyo Shrine; Changdeokgung Palace Complex; Hwaseong Fortress; Gyeongju Historic Areas; Gochang, Hwasun and Ganghwa Dolmen Sites; - Solomon Islands: East Rennell; Adoption of retrospective Statements WHC-12/36.COM/8E, p. 3 of Outstanding Universal Value - Thailand: Historic City of Ayutthaya; - Turkmenistan: State Historical and Cultural Park “Ancient Merv”; Kunya- Urgench; - United Republic of Tanzania: Serengeti National Park; Kondoa Rock-Art Sites; - Uzbekistan: Historic Centre of Bukhara; Historic Centre of Shakhrisyabz; Samarkand – Crossroads of Cultures; - Viet Nam: Ha Long Bay; My Son Sanctuary; Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park; - Zambia and Zimbabwe: Mosi-oa-Tunya / Victoria Falls; - Zimbabwe: Great Zimbabwe National Monument; Khami Ruins National Monument; Matobo Hills; 4.

Published for the first time more than a decade ago as a booklet in a modest cyclostyled shape by the Cultural Department of the Indonesian Embassy in India, it has been revised several times in Jakarta in the same form to keep up to date with new discoveries and current theories. Since it seemed to have filled a need felt by foreigners as well as Indonesians to obtain an elementary knowledge of Indonesia's past, it has been thought wise to publish it now in a printed form with the aim to reach a larger public than before.

    History and Mysteries of Miag-Ao Church: an Interview with Msgr

    Photo by Norman Posecion taken at 3 AM on Good Friday, 2013 before the start of the ‘Pagtaltal’ procession with the Milky Way lighting up the skies above. History and Mysteries of Miag-ao Church: An interview with Msgr. Claudio S. Sale by Jonathan R. Matias Sulu Garden, Miag-ao, Iloilo Easter Sunday, April 5, 2015 with Arjun P. Palmos and Jacob Adrian Lorella I have always wanted to know more about Miag-ao Church beyond the often rehashed trivia written in travel blogs and the bland descriptions of the church in Wikipedia and similar type of information sources. I always considered any house of worship like a living being. It has a colorful, complicated past and uncertain future. It has mysteries and legends. Its daily life has a rhythm of its own, a dynamic personality being shaped slowly by the changing times and the people. Miag-ao Church is very much alive. Only if its sandstone walls could talk. What stories we would hear from the many centuries that have passed and the tens thousands who whispered stories within its wall. Of stories and gossips, of intrigues and of pure religious expressions of the faithfuls. The Facebook post by ‘Bobot’ Montealto (Miagao Hits) in December 22, 2014 on the subject of the 55th Sacerdotal Anniversary of Monsignor Claudio S. Sale made me pause. (Frankly, I did not know what sacerdotal meant and had to look it up in the dictionary which is defined as “of or relating to priesthood.” Just in case you didn’t either, now you know!).

Pitana 3 Abstract Gebyog is a traditional Javanese house wall made of wood with a particular pattern. The shape of Javanese houses and gebyog develop over periods of culture and government until today. The shapes of gebyog are greatly influenced by various culture, such as Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic, and Chinese. The Hindu and Buddhist influences of are evident in the shapes of the ornaments and their meanings. The Chinese influence through Islamic culture developing in the archipelago is strong, mainly in terms of the gebyog patterns, wood construction techniques, ornaments, and coloring techniques. The nuance has been felt in the era of Majapahit, Demak, Mataram and at present. The use of ganja mayangkara in Javanese houses of the Majapahit era, the use of Chinese-style gunungan ornaments at the entrance to the Sunan Giri tomb, the saka guru construction technique of Demak mosque, the Kudusnese and Jeparanese gebyog motifs, and the shape of the gebyog patangaring of the house. Keywords: Hindu-Buddhist influence, Chinese influence, the shape of gebyog , Javanese house. DOI : 10.7176/ADS/79-09 Publication date: December 31st 2019 I. INTRODUCTION Gebyog , according to the Javanese-Indonesian Dictionary, is generally construed as a wooden wall. In the context of this study, gebyog is a wooden wall in a Javanese house with a particular pattern.

    Plataran Borobudur Encounter

    PLATARAN BOROBUDUR ENCOUNTER ABOUT THE DESTINATION Plataran Borobudur Resort & Spa is located within the vicinity of ‘Kedu Plain’, also known as Progo River Valley or ‘The Garden of Java’. This fertile volcanic plain that lies between Mount Sumbing and Mount Sundoro to the west, and Mount Merbabu and Mount Merapi to the east has played a significant role in Central Javanese history due to the great number of religious and cultural archaeological sites, including the Borobudur. With an abundance of natural beauty, ranging from volcanoes to rivers, and cultural sites, Plataran Borobudur stands as a perfect base camp for nature, adventure, cultural, and spiritual journey. BOROBUDUR Steps away from the resort, one can witness one the of the world’s largest Buddhist temples - Borobudur. Based on the archeological evidence, Borobudur was constructed in the 9th century and abandoned following the 14th-century decline of Hindu kingdoms in Java and the Javanese conversion to Islam. Worldwide knowledge of its existence was sparked in 1814 by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, then the British ruler of Java, who was advised of its location by native Indonesians. Borobudur has since been preserved through several restorations. The largest restoration project was undertaken between 1975 and 1982 by the Indonesian government and UNESCO, following which the monument was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Borobudur is one of Indonesia’s most iconic tourism destinations, reflecting the country’s rich cultural heritage and majestic history. BOROBUDUR FOLLOWS A remarkable experience that you can only encounter at Plataran Borobudur. Walk along the long corridor of our Patio Restaurants, from Patio Main Joglo to Patio Colonial Restaurant, to experience BOROBUDUR FOLLOWS - where the majestic Borobudur temple follows you at your center wherever you stand along this corridor.

    Zen As a Creative Agency: Picturing Landscape in China and Japan from the Twelfth to Sixteenth Centuries

    Zen as a Creative Agency: Picturing Landscape in China and Japan from the Twelfth to Sixteenth Centuries by Meng Ying Fan A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Meng Ying Fan 2020 Zen as a Creative Agency: Picturing Landscape in China and Japan from the Twelfth to Sixteenth Centuries Meng Ying Fan Master of Arts Department of East Asia Studies University of Toronto 2020 Abstract This essay explores the impact of Chan/Zen on the art of landscape painting in China and Japan via literary/visual materials from the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. By rethinking the aesthetic significance of “Zen painting” beyond the art and literary genres, this essay investigates how the Chan/Zen culture transformed the aesthetic attitudes and technical manifestations of picturing the landscapes, which are related to the philosophical thinking in mind. Furthermore, this essay emphasizes the problems of the “pattern” in Muromachi landscape painting to criticize the arguments made by D.T. Suzuki and his colleagues in the field of Zen and Japanese art culture. Finally, this essay studies the cultural interaction of Zen painting between China and Japan, taking the traveling landscape images of Eight Views of Xiaoxiang by Muqi and Yujian from China to Japan as a case. By comparing the different opinions about the artists in the two regions, this essay decodes the universality and localizations of the images of Chan/Zen. ii Acknowledgements I would like to express my deepest gratefulness to Professor Johanna Liu, my supervisor and mentor, whose expertise in Chinese aesthetics and art theories has led me to pursue my MA in East Asian studies.
