"The Jewel Net of Indra...Imagine a vast net: at each crossing point there is a jewel; each jewel is perfectly clear and reflects all the other jewels. In the net, the way two mirrors placed opposite each other will reflect an image ad infinitum.

Every jewel is intimately connected with all other jewels in the universe, and a change in one jewel means a change, however slight in every other jewel." - Stephen Mitchell |
