[29] "But, worthy Gotama, remote lodgings in wilderness and forest thickets are hard to endure; seclusion is hard to practise; it is hard to find delight in solitude. The forests, I should think, carry away the mind (mano) of a bhikkhu who does not obtain concentration (samādhi)." "So it is, brahmin, so it is, brahmin. Remote lodgings in wilderness and forest thickets are hard to endure; seclusion is hard to practise; it is hard to find delight in solitude. The forests, I should think, carry away the mind of a bhikkhu who does not obtain concentration (samādhi)."
