Borobudur, peninggalan kerajaan agama budha, ini adalah warisan sejarah yang perlu diperhatikan, ternyata manusia mampu membangun bangunan yang sebelumnya dianggap mustahil dan masih berupa mimpi, yaitu dengan menggunakan kekuatan kebersamaan, persatuan dan kesatuan. Indonesia bisa menjadi seperti Borobudur, menjadi negara yang besar dan kokoh..
