Whenever he met people, he would only say: "Amitābha Buddha—it can be spoken, but it cannot be spoken!" People eventually came to call him the "Cannot-Be-Spoken Monk". Wang Yongheng, the police lieutenant of Yin, and his wife served him with the utmost devotion. One day he went to their house to bid farewell, saying: "I shall depart tomorrow." When the patrons had all assembled, he entered the niche, sat upright, asked for a sweet melon, ate the entire fruit, chanted the Buddha's name, and passed away. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 27.142](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.27.142) - [Next: 27.144](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.27.144) - [Up: 27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.27) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.27.143) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [往生集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.1.251) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.27.143](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.27.143) · Pramāṇa
