“Imagine a spider's web in the early morning covered with dew drops. And every dew drop contains the reflection of all the other dew drops. And, in each reflected dew drop, the reflections of all the other dew drops in that reflection. And so on forever. That is the Buddhist idea of the universe. Alan Watts[1]
