Developing Spiritual Tourism, PT TWC Holds Full Moon Meditation

PT Taman Wisata Candi Borobudur, Prambanan & Ratu Boko in collaboration with the Indonesian Mahanikaya Buddhist Religious Council (MBMI) held a Full Moon Meditation event in the courtyard of the Manohara Borobudur Study Center, Borobudur Temple Tourism Park Complex, Magelang, Central Java, Saturday (17/9/2022). 

This activity was attended by a number of participants from various regions in Indonesia such as Jakarta, Tangerang, Jogja, and others. In this meditation, candles were also lit in a full moon configuration with a crystal ball in the middle as a symbol of the moon.

VP Sales & Marketing PT TWC Pujo Suwarno said that this agenda was a response to the MoU on the Utilization of Borobudur and Prambanan Temples signed by four ministers and two governors.

"We started packaging and have started by collaborating with MBMI. This is the starting point for religious tourism in Borobudur," he said.

MBMI Chairman Agus Jaya said that this full moon meditation activity was the first to be held at Borobudur Temple. This trial activity is open to all parties who want to enjoy the spiritual atmosphere in the largest Buddhist temple area.

"The 41 participants come from various backgrounds and we do not look at their religion. We made this program very universal," said Agus, Saturday (17/9/2022).

Agus hopes that in the future, full moon meditation can also be followed by foreign tourists. "We want this full moon meditation to come from abroad so that it can be a source of foreign exchange for the country. This is led by the Indonesian Mahanikaya Buddhist Religious Council," he said.

According to Agus, meditation during a full moon can bring inner peace and positive energy. This will certainly affect an individual's health. 

"Meditation during the full moon will foster inner peace that flows positive energy for us. Both for health, and fostering the conveniences we desire," he concluded.
