Sure! - I am very “symbol minded”.
I have also this one on the eight Noble Truths. Do you see how related this is to the nine abodes of beings. And how if you always stay on the left side, the 12 nidanas appear (but for the first row)?
They (
) would not say though, what are the three rows at the top.
A bit like your venerable and his #5. Would that represent the communication “Channel” to somewhere? - The vortex door?
Maybe we could spend more time on that. There is definitely a great deal of ignorance and moha to be pulled out of that.
