蜡烛传火

两千多年前佛陀解释轮回的顶级隐喻，与今天的数字信息传递不谋而合。旧蜡烛点燃新蜡烛，传递过去的不是肉体，不是燃烧的烛芯，而是一团抽象的能量（业力/数据参数）。不要指望下辈子还是你，你只能在这一辈子，让手里这团火烧得最旺。

More than two millennia ago, the Buddha offered a supreme metaphor for samsara that resonates uncannily with the mechanics of modern digital information transfer. When an old candle lights a new one, what is transmitted is neither the physical body nor the burning wick, but an abstract energy—karma, or data parameters. Do not expect to be the same self in the next life; your only task in this one is to make the flame in your hands burn as brightly as possible.
