The Discourse on the Forest
110.
"Monks, a monk possessed of five qualities is able to resort to remote forest and woodland lodgings, secluded lodgings.
Which five?
Here, monks, a monk is virtuous, etc.
having accepted the training rules he trains in them;
he is very learned, etc.
well penetrated by view;
he dwells putting forth strenuous energy, steadfast, of firm effort, not shirking the responsibility regarding wholesome mental states;
he is one who obtains at will, obtains without difficulty, obtains without trouble, the four meditative absorptions pertaining to the higher mind, which are pleasant abidings in the present life;
through the elimination of the mental corruptions, realises by his own direct knowledge, in this very life, the liberation of mind and the liberation by wisdom that are free from mental corruptions and, having entered upon them, dwells in them.
Monks, a monk possessed of these five qualities is able to resort to remote forest and woodland lodgings, secluded lodgings."
