Key Notes
A Hindu-Buddhist image Jiang uses to explain that each soul reflects the whole and spreads its acts throughout the universe.
Jiang adopts Indra's net or web as the best available visual analogy for the mutual indwelling of God, the universe, and the individual self.
A student argues the dream did not literally predict the future but was primed by images already circulating in the seminar and in Indra’s net.
Jiang translates this into the model of Indra's net: each soul is a pearl that reflects the whole universe, so every act reverberates through all other souls.
