Relying on Solitude
By avoiding bad objects, disturbing emotions gradually decrease.
Without distraction, virtuous activities naturally increase.
With clarity of mind, conviction in the teaching arises.
Cultivate seclusion—
This is the practice of bodhisattvas.
When the verse says, Cultivate seclusion, it means to live in a secluded and simplified environment when possible.
But the real seclusion, the real retreat, is when our mind is secluded from ignorance, anger and attachment.
