propagates it extensively,
That bodhisattva, after dying and transmigrating,
Will go to the realm of Sukhāvatī.

The Noble Samādhirāja Sūtra. [Bampo 9]
"Kumāra, there are ten benefits for a bodhisattva mahāsattva who applies himself to dwelling in a hermitage. What are the ten? They are as follows: dwelling with few activities; completely abandoning busyness from afar; becoming free of dispute; dwelling without harm; not causing the āsravas to increase; not causing a basis for dispute; acting with supreme calm; living well-restrained; having a mental continuum in accord with liberation; and swiftly actualizing liberation. Kumāra, these ten are the benefits of a bodhisattva mahāsattva who applies himself to dwelling in a hermitage.

On that matter it is said:

He will always have few activities,
And will completely abandon busyness from afar.
Dwelling alone in the midst of the forest,
He will also be free from dispute.
With a harmless mind,
He does not increase the āsravas.
For him no basis of dispute arises:
These are the qualities of dwelling in a hermitage.
With body, speech, and mind well-restrained,
He behaves with peacefulness,
In accordance with liberation,
Swiftly knowing deliverance.
The yogin always has few activities,
Having completely abandoned all the faults of manifold busyness,
Yogins never engage in disputes:
These are the benefits of dwelling in a hermitage.
When he has become weary of conditioned things,
And has no desire for anything in the world,
Not causing the āsravas to increase:
Such are the benefits of dwelling in the forest.
For him, a basis of dispute never
