I am very grateful indeed to Bhante Sri Pannyavaro Mahathero at the Modern Mendut Vihara
whose hospitality and kindness helped us gain access to the Borobudur momument
and without whose help this record could never have been made

I am also greatly indebted to my good friends Leslie Shaw and Colin Low
who acted as kappiyas on the trips in June and October 2009
and who made many contributions to the success of this project
