mn17:3.1 “Mendicants, take the case of a mendicant who lives close by a jungle thicket.
mn17:3.2 As they do so, their mindfulness does not become established, their mind does not become immersed in samādhi, their defilements do not come to an end, and they do not arrive at the supreme sanctuary from the yoke.
mn17:3.3 And the necessities of life that a renunciate requires—robes, almsfood, lodgings, and medicines and supplies for the sick—are hard to come by.
mn17:3.4 That mendicant should reflect:
mn17:3.5 ‘While living close by this jungle thicket, my mindfulness does not become established, my mind does not become immersed in samādhi, my defilements do not come to an end, and I do not arrive at the supreme sanctuary from the yoke.
mn17:3.6 And the necessities of life that a renunciate requires—robes, almsfood, lodgings, and medicines and supplies for the sick—are hard to come by.’
mn17:3.7 That mendicant should leave that jungle thicket that very time of night or day; they should not stay there.
