Q29: Venerable Sir, do you advise yogis not to speak at all during practice?

问29：尊者，您告诫禅修者修行中间完全不说话吗？

No, I don’t. It is not advisable to do so. It would be wise, however, not to speak of anything frivolous or unnecessary. One should only speak of things necessary, beneficial or doctrinal, and in moderation. Thus, both worldly and spiritual progress can be made.

不，我没有，这是不明智的。而明智的做法是不说任何无聊的或不必要的。只说必须的、有益的或佛法的，并且有节制。这样能获得世俗和心灵两方面的进步。
