問：經言依香以為佛事，即依香等立文、名、句，經亦說言或有佛土寂寞無言，或但虛空而為佛事，豈即依彼無言說等立名、句耶？

Question: The sūtras say that relying on scents one performs the Buddha's work, which means establishing phonemes, names, and sentences dependent on scents and so forth; the sūtras also say that there are Buddha lands that are silent and wordless, or where empty space alone performs the Buddha's work. Could it be that names and sentences are established dependent on that wordlessness and so forth?
