– So It Was Said 45
The Book of the Twos Chapter Two Retreat
This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.
“Enjoy retreat, mendicants, love retreat. Be committed to inner serenity of the heart, don’t neglect absorption, be endowed with discernment, and frequent empty huts. A mendicant who enjoys retreat can expect one of two results: enlightenment in this very life, or if there’s residue left behind, non-return.”

This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.
