A monk asked, "When one sees the words and does not study them, how is it?" The Master said, "Throughout the entire world there are no deaf people; who is an intimate knower of the sound?" \[The monk\] asked, "Who is an intimate knower of the sound?" The Master said, "A broken string cannot be mended, yet through kalpas the ringing sound remains resonant and clear." A monk asked, "According to the teaching it is said: 'Ajita does not cut off afflictions and does not cultivate meditative concentration; the Buddha predicted this person will achieve Buddhahood without doubt.' What is this principle?" The Master said, "The salt is gone and there is also no charcoal." \[The monk\] said, "When the salt is gone and there is no charcoal, how is it?" The Master said, "Let not a sorrowful person speak to a sorrowful person; speaking to a sorrowful person kills one with sorrow." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 24.97](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.24.97) - [Next: 24.99](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.24.99) - [Up: 24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.24) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076~en-mt.24.98) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [虛堂和尚語錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.5.159) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.24.98](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.24.98) · Pramāṇa
