There are many things different things which combined to form the love for Indonesia which is within my heart.
Some thing I love in Indonesia, is the presence, (in this now mostly Muslim country), of the strong Hindu Buddhist influences, which are woven inextricably through the fabric of the Indonesian worldview and philosophical attitudes.

About 1300 years ago a powerful Buddhist society dominated South Sumatra, and Java, and although they are no more, they left their legacy in the cultural artforms and philosophical ideas still found in Java and Bali, as well as in stone at Borobodur.
