And subdued their bodies through meditation on wisdom.⁸⁸⁰ {iii}
“I rejoice in those who live in the forest,
Always alone and solitary like a rhinoceros,
Always with pure livelihood and few activities,
Without acting hypocritically for the sake of reputation. {6}
“I rejoice in those who have no entanglements,
Who have no envy or yearning for a home,
Who are always terrified of the three realms
And act without attachment to the world. {7}
“I rejoice in those who are without complication
And are saddened by every rebirth into existence.
This samādhi will not be difficult to attain
For those who do not dispute but have peaceful minds. {8}
“I rejoice in those who see the harmfulness of crowds,
Who avoid every kind of disagreement,
Who live in solitude, dwelling at the foot of trees,
And who are heirs of the sugatas focused upon liberation. {9}
“I rejoice in those who live in solitude,
Neither praising themselves nor criticizing others.
I rejoice in those who are not careless
But careful in the Buddha’s teaching. {10}
“That carefulness is the very root
Of all the qualities of the aspects of enlightenment.
This samādhi is not difficult to attain
For any heirs of the Buddha who are always careful. {11}
“The teaching of the Sugata is a treasure that has been found.
Attaining homelessness is a second treasure.
The attainment of faith is a third treasure.
This samādhi is a fourth treasure. {12}
“On learning of emptiness, of the field of activity of the buddhas,
If it is not rejected, that is a treasure that has been found.
Endless eloquence is a treasure that has been found,
And any dhāraṇī is a supreme treasure. {13}
“That carefulness is the very root
Of all the virtuous qualities that have been proclaimed,
And of correct conduct, learning, giving, and patience.
The Sugata has taught that it is a treasure that has been found. {14}
“For those who are careful in the Buddha’s teaching,
For those who have perfect aspirations,
