When a monk asked Master Buban, “How can I escape from forms and sounds?” Buban said to his students, “If you understand this monk’s question, you can escape from forms and sounds easily.”
Student: “How should I understand the monk’s question?”
Master: “Escape from his question.”
Commentary:
There can be no words when there are no forms and no sounds.
