8.55

梵志曰:「聞過去諸佛樂於閑靜,獨處山林,如今世尊;不如我法,樂於憒閙,說無益事,以終日耶!」

The wanderer said, “I have heard that buddhas in the past enjoyed peace and dwelled alone in mountains and forests as the Bhagavān does today. How could they enjoy noisy discussions of useless subjects lasting until the end of the day the way we do?”

Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras)
