Borobudur: Pyramid of the Cosmic Buddha


About the Authors

Dr. Caesar Voûte — Professor Emeritus of the International Institute for Aerospace Surveys and Earth Sciences in The Netherlands — is a specialist in the
fields of hydrogeology and engineering geology. Dr. Voûte joined Dr. Bernard Groslier — the director of the Conservation and Restoration works at Angkor Wat
— on a UNESCO-sponsored expert mission conducted in 1968 to study the conservation and restoration problems at Borobudur. Born in the city of Magelang
nearby, the Dutch geologist had literally grown up in Borobudur’s general vicinity. From 1971 until 1975 Dr. Voûte served as the resident UNESCO/UNDP
coordinator for the Borobudur Reconstruction Project.


Mark Long is an internationally recognized expert in the field of electronic communications. He is the author of a dozen technical reference books pertaining to
the transmission and reception of video, voice and data over wireless networks. Long’s technical background is complemented by a keen interest in Mahayana
Buddhism, which began during the early 1970’s and thereafter with his introduction to the religion and its practices by students of Suzuki Roshi – the founder of the Tassajara Zen Buddhist Mountain Center in Northern California.
