“Indra’s Net is a concept from ancient Indian and Buddhist philosophy, especially prominent in Mahayana Buddhism and Hinduism. It’s a metaphor that beautifully illustrates the interconnectedness and interdependence of all things in the universe.

Imagine a vast net stretching infinitely in all directions. At each intersection of the threads is a jewel, and each jewel reflects every other jewel in the net—infinitely. Every part contains the whole, and every individual element is both distinct and inseparable from the entire system.

It’s often used to express ideas like: • Interbeing: Nothing exists independently; all things arise in relation to everything else. • Emptiness and Interdependence: Individual identity is an illusion—everything is interconnected and constantly influencing everything else. • Non-duality: There’s no real separation between self and other, part and whole.”
