I found a very interesting and significant topic here, but it's expired, so I brought it up here. It was posted by AEN:
The Net of Indra: Visual Metaphor of Non-dualism & EmptinessThis is the first time I heard about it. Now I realize that the indraÂ’s net is a close metaphor of our Dharmakaya except that it didnÂ’t mention all stars(jewels) are constantly moving in the net. Thanks AEN.
I hope that scientists can take it seriously. This metaphor could be really something that would revolutionize the scientific discovery. Imaging what the discovery could do. The Dharmakaya is the energy source and projector of the Universe. If scientists know how it works, secret of life would be revealed and all religions will be united into one with science. Most importantly, in the end, no more need for this virtual Earth and reincarnation.
Well, this may be a long-shot dream. But a good one, right?
IÂ’m just thinking perhaps we could simulate how the Dharmakaya net works with 3D animation and show it to some scientists so that they could start somewhere. Of course, before we could do that, we must know it ourselves. So here is one goal for all of us who is interested in combining Buddhism and science.
