有一个传说，很久以前，曾经有一张网撒在世界各国人民身上。这张网的每个交叉点都缝有铃铛，任何人在任何地方的移动都会让铃铛叮当作响，提醒所有人彼此之间的联系。在这个传说的印度版本中，这就是因陀罗的网——网中缝制的不是铃铛，而是珠宝。当网移动时，每一颗宝石都会闪闪发光，折射出一切的美丽。如今，网络（这次是互联网）遍布全球，提醒我们与世界的相互联系，这是多么恰当啊！
There is a legend that once, long ago, a net was thrown over all the peoples of the world. This net had bells sewn on at every junction, so that the movement of any person in any place would set the bells jingling, reminding all people of their connection to each other. In the Indian version of this legend, this is Indra’s Net—and instead of bells, it is jewels which are sewn into the net. When the net is moved, each jewel glimmers, reflecting the beauty of all. How fitting that, today, the net—this time the Internet—should now span the globe, reminding us of our interconnectedness with the world!
