Hilma af Klint (1862–1944) inledde år 1906 sitt arbete med de symboliska målningarna och är i dag erkänd som en av Sveriges mest framstående konstnärer. Djupt förankrad i naturvetenskapen och med ett ständigt sökande inom olika religiösa och fi losofi ska läror, omfattade hennes intressen en stor bredd som tydligt återspeglades i hennes symboliska verk. I denna bok lyfter hennes brorsonson, Johan af Klint, fram det han menar utgör kärnan i hennes livsarbete – hennes fi losofi och de andliga budskap hon önskade förmedla till mänskligheten.

In this dissertation, Johan af Klint presents the Barabudur monument on Central Java and analyses its significant role. The important trade historical aspects are given due interest. The Sailendras – the builders of the Barabudur – are appropriately presented. As the Barabudur to a large extent is based on various religious aspects, the introduction process of Buddhism into Indonesia has been given relevant attention. The religious influences from India were strong during the Central Java Period. Sravakayana and Mahayana were introduced early on. Esoteric Mantranaya was introduced during the eighth century CE by the Lankese monks from the Abhayagirivihara. Some esoteric Buddhist concepts may also have been introduced from China. Finally, the Barabudur could have been influenced by some ideas expressed in the forthcoming local esoteric text – the Sang Hyang Kamahayanikan. The bas-reliefs on the Barabudur are based on several scriptures, such as the Lalitavistara, the Gandavyuha Sutra and the Bhadracari. The Buddha images on the Barabudur may represent various models – the most likely is probably the Panca-Tathagata model. In conclusion, the Barabudur may be regarded as a holy monument, where the Buddha is present, and where the devotees may be taught directly by the Buddha. Johan af Klint Civ.ekon. & MA.
