- Reader of the sutras/questions: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- After Bankei had passed away, a blind man who lived near the master's temple said to a friend: 'Since I am blind I cannot watch a person's face, so I must judge his character by the sound of his voice.
- Ordinarily when I hear someone congratulate another upon his happiness or success, I also hear a secret tone of envy. When condolence is expressed for the misfortune of another, I hear pleasure and satisfaction, as if the one condoling was really glad there was something left to gain in his own world.
- In all my experience however, Bankei's voice was always sincere. Whenever he expressed happiness, I heard nothing but happiness, and whenever he expressed sorrow, sorrow was all I heard.'
