第五常坐亦有十利。一不貪身樂。二不貪眠睡樂。三不貪臥具樂。四無臥時脇著席苦。五不隨身欲。六易得坐禪。七易讀誦經。八少睡眠。九身輕易起。十求坐臥具衣服心薄。

Always sitting, the fifth, also has ten benefits: first, not craving bodily pleasure; second, not craving the pleasure of sleep; third, not craving the pleasure of bedding; fourth, free from the suffering of one's ribs touching the mat while lying down; fifth, not indulging bodily desires; sixth, easy to attain seated meditation; seventh, easy to read and recite scriptures; eighth, little sleep; ninth, the body is light and easy to rise; tenth, the mind that seeks bedding and robes becomes faint.
