Yes.

This style (mixing of "one" and "him", "his" etc.) is traditionally correct. It sounds increasingly old-fashioned, in my opinion, and people may also object that it seems to be excluding women from the conversation. I would not recommend that you use it yourself.

Not in British English. If one insists on using the rather pompous sounding 'one', one must use 'one' all the way through.

1. The benefit of the tongue organ - if the tongue is purified, then one is able to taste all kinds of delicious food and if one speaks, one brings great delight and happiness to all who hear one.

If I use 'one' instead of 'him' at the end of the sentence, it sounds wrong to me. Am I correct?


Thanks.

It needs to be 'one' on BrE.

What sounds unnatural to me is the beginning of that sentence - The benefit of the tongue organ - if the tongue is purified ...

Could you please elaborate what is unnatural

I have no idea what you mean by 'the benefit of the tongue organ'.

Thanks, fivejedjon.

The sentence is taken from the sermon given by a Buddhist priest. So I think sometimes it is not so clear to those who are non-Buddhist.
