Indiana Jones begins Temple of doom with only two things on his mind, fortune and glory. Indie is then asked to retrieve a valuable stone which he does thinking only of what this stone could do for him, not concerning himself with the lively-hood of the village. Indiana does not believe in the stones power at first but he then begins to believe after he feels the power full force this new faith is what will ultimately save him on the rope bridge.
As he is dangling from the bridge the only thing that could save him was this new found faith in the stones power. He put his belief in the stone and it did not betray him Indie was saved and he was a changed man who now understood why the stone was so important to the villagers and that it truly belonged to them.
In conclusion to Indies journey he returns the stone and children to the villagers as requested. He is then asked why he decided tor return the stone instead of putting it in a museum as originally planed. His reply shows how he has progressed and how he thought of others and not just himself. His transformation was great but not yet over.
You are right about the epiphany. It leads Indy to return the stone to the village.
