Retreat

“Mendicants, these four people are found in the world.
What four?
One is on retreat in body, but not mind;
one is on retreat in mind, but not body;
one is on retreat in neither body nor mind; and
one is on retreat in both body and mind.
And how is a person on retreat in body, but not mind?
It’s when a person frequents remote lodgings in the wilderness and the forest.
But they think sensual, malicious, and cruel thoughts.
That’s how a person is on retreat in body, but not mind.
And how is a person on retreat in mind, but not body?
It’s when a person doesn’t frequent remote lodgings in the wilderness and the forest.
But they think thoughts of renunciation, good will, and harmlessness.
That’s how a person is on retreat in mind, but not body.
And how is a person on retreat in neither body nor mind?
It’s when a person doesn’t frequent remote lodgings in the wilderness and the forest.
And they think sensual, malicious, and cruel thoughts.
That’s how a person is on retreat in neither body nor mind.
And how is a person on retreat in both body and mind?
It’s when a person frequents remote lodgings in the wilderness and the forest.
And they think thoughts of renunciation, good will, and harmlessness.
That’s how a person is on retreat in both body and mind.
These are the four people found in the world.”
