pp. 256-261 (cap. XXIV) symbolic language

 

{re "c a la" :- The Zen koan (F, SKRS, BK), 29th in the Mumonkan, about whether ‘moving’ should imply ‘wind’ or ‘flag’, may (though evident in case of ‘wind’) imply, in the case of ‘flag’, that all entries in the symbolic signification column be moved downward by 2 places. The answer ‘mind’ (which may imply that the mind’s function is to count, as is done on a ‘rosary’; or perhaps to calculate, as is done on an abacus, the nigh congener to the rosary) may imply that all entries in the symbolic signification column be moved downward by just 1 place; it is the compromise between displacement by 2 places or no displacement at all.}
