Meaning of the cell
The ring that serves as the player's symbol on the board returns to its owner's finger; it loses its significance. The game ends. What happens now depends on the player. The nature of the cosmic game is simple: it is the discovery of new combinations. With what new karmas, with what companions, will the player be able to enter the game again, striving once more to find the state that will be his true dwelling place? He may continue this game of hide-and-seek with himself or remain forever beyond the game. Or he may return to earth to help other seekers reach their goal, taking upon himself the role of the twice-born bodhisattva. The choice remains his.
