30. “Bhikkhus, having seen two great advantages in them, I frequently spend time secluded in remote jungle forests, and in wild, off-the beaten-path type of places, away from everything. Now, what are these two great advantages?

“One is for my own pleasant abiding here and now, and the other is out of compassion for future generations of practitioners, who will gain much from my example and thus become encouraged to also get away and seclude themselves in those remote and uninhabited areas, to gain these benefits as well.

“Therefore, Bhikkhus, having seen these two great advantages, I frequently spend time secluded in remote jungle forests, and in wild, off-the beaten-path type of places, away from everything.”
