(truncated) Quoting from p.121: "Barabudur is a stupa, just as a souped-up hoodless car with gleaming engine parts is an automobile. But merely calling Barabudur a stupa doesn't necessarily enlighten us about how the monument works or what it is that makes it run"..this per Hiram Woodward's contribution. (Inventory #: 332118)
