Pertanyaan:
Pagoda itu apakah asli arsitektur China ato dari india ato manifestasi
dari stupa?
Pagoda = fo ta (?) = pagoda buddha.
Ada 3 opini mengenai asal kata pagoda di wikipedia.
menurut kamus AHD "[Portuguese pagode, perhaps from Tamil pagavadi,
from Sanskrit bhagavat, goddess, from feminine of bhagavat-, blessed,
from bhaga, good fortune. See bhag- in Indo-European Roots.]"
According to Alain Rey's Dictionnaire historique de la langue
française (rev. ed. 1995), the word first appeared in French
</wiki/French_language> as pagode in 1545 </wiki/1545>, meaning
"temple of an Eastern religion" and deriving from a Portuguese
</wiki/Portuguese_language> word dated from 1516 </wiki/1516>. The
derivation is uncertain. Possible roots are the Dravidian
</wiki/Dravidian_language> pagodi or pagavadi, a name of Kali
</wiki/Kali> derived from the Sanskrit </wiki/Sanskrit_language>
bhagavati ("goddess"), and the Persian </wiki/Persian_language>
butkada ("temple").
Menurut laing ssu cheng a pictorial history of chinese architecture
(MIT), pagoda diderivasi dari kanta ba jiao ta. Kata ba jiao ta
secara harfiah katanya "menara bersudut delapan".
Pendapat lain mengenai asal kata pagoda= "Pagoda comes from Sanskrit
"dhatu garba". From the harmika in the stupa, lies the anda (dome) or
world egg. Here resides the sacred relic, with their dhatus (magic
elements) which like the eggs, possess the power of life. The power of
this womb and its world egg is transferred through the sacred altar
that stands over the gharba (the womb), namely the harmika, and
becomes a force for spiritual life and renewal. Therefore "dhatu"
refers to the magical, sacred relics (i.e the Buddha's) and "gharba"
the womb. From dhatu gharba comes the Singhalese "dagoba". In Burma
and other East Asian countries, the daoba becomes "pagoda"."
Rekan2 BT, ada yg bisa bantu mengenai asal usul Pagoda?
Benarkah bangunan unik ini murni /asli arsitektur China?
Apakah lantai bangunan selalu ganjil, misalnya pagoda 5 lantai, 7 lantai?
Apakah relic buddha selalu disimpan di Pagoda dan ditempatkan di
dasar / fondasi bangunan?
Terema kasih.
