       | " _Buddhism uses a similar image to describe the
       | interconnectedness of all phenomena. It is called Indra 's Net.
       | When Indra fashioned the world, he made it as a web, and at every
       | knot in the web is tied a pearl. Everything that exists, or has
       | ever existed, every idea that can be thought about, every datum
       | that is true--every dharma, in the language of Indian philosophy
       | --is a pearl in Indra's net. Not only is every pearl tied to
       | every other pearl by virtue of the web on which they hang, but on
       | the surface of every pearl is reflected every other jewel on the
       | net. Everything that exists in Indra's web implies all else that
       | exists._"
