法苑珠林 84.26

84.26

又寶梁經云。佛告迦葉。比丘若欲至阿蘭若處。當思八法。何等為八。一我當捨身。二應當捨命。三當捨利養。四離一切所愛樂處。五於山間死當如鹿死。六阿蘭若處當受阿蘭行。七當以法自活。八非以煩惱自活。

Furthermore, the Ratnarāśi-sūtra says: 'The Buddha told Kāśyapa: "If a monk wishes to go to an araṇya, he should reflect upon eight dharmas. What are the eight? First, I should renounce my body; second, I should renounce my life; third, I should renounce gain and sustenance; fourth, I should leave behind all delightful places; fifth, dying in the mountains, I should die like a deer; sixth, in an araṇya, I should adopt the conduct of an araṇya; seventh, I should sustain myself by the Dharma; eighth, I must not sustain myself by afflictions."'
