24.46

比擬忘言合太虛 免教和氣有親疎
誰知道德全無用 今日為僧貴識書

"We intended to forget words and merge with the great void, / To avoid letting the harmonious atmosphere have partiality or estrangement. / Who could know that virtue and the Way are entirely useless, / And today, to be a monk, one values knowing how to read?"
