Excuse me, what is Buddha's light? People have Buddha's light. What does Buddhism mean?

Buddhists believe that Buddha's light is the light from the head chakra of Bodhisattva.

In physics, Buddha's light is a kind of "solar halo". When sunlight shines on the surface of clouds, it forms a natural wonder of Buddha's light through diffraction and diffuse reflection. Sunlight projects people onto the clouds, and tiny ice crystals and water droplets in the clouds form a unique circular rainbow. It is a diffraction phenomenon formed after strong sunlight hits the surface of clouds in cloudy weather.

The emergence of the "Buddha's Light" spectacle is very rare because of the comprehensive effect of various natural factors such as sunshine, topography and sea of clouds.

Buddha's light, also called Bao Guang, is a magical optical phenomenon. If people stand on the top of the mountain, their images can appear in the clouds facing the sun, and beautiful colored rings can appear around them. For a long time, people have called this gas field "Buddha's Light", and the Buddha's Light is the most famous in Emei Baoguang. Buddha's light often appears in other places, such as Huangshan in Anhui and Taishan in Shandong.

According to foreign media reports, in September 20 13, Sam Clark, an amateur mountaineer, was pleasantly surprised to see a round rainbow while climbing in the snow in northwest Wales, England.

Scholars at home and abroad have put forward many theories about the causes of Buddha's light, including "complex scattering theory", "first reflection and then diffraction theory" and "first diffraction and then reflection theory". Due to some defects, there is no conclusion yet.

The principle of "diffraction-reflection" imaging proposed by Lai Bixing, a scholar in China, successfully explains the formation process of Buddha's light, and this research achievement has been highly praised by relevant experts in academic circles.
