Aṅguttara Nikāya — Discursos Numerados — 4.138 — Retreat

1“Mendicants, these four individuals are found in the world. What four?

2One is on retreat in body, but not mind;

3one is on retreat in mind, but not body;

4one is on retreat in neither body nor mind; and

5one is on retreat in both body and mind.

6And how is an individual on retreat in body, but not mind? It’s when an individual frequents remote lodgings in the wilderness and the forest. But they think sensual, malicious, and cruel thoughts. That’s how an individual is on retreat in body, but not mind.

7And how is an individual on retreat in mind, but not body? It’s when an individual doesn’t frequent remote lodgings in the wilderness and the forest. But they think thoughts of renunciation, good will, and harmlessness. That’s how an individual is on retreat in mind, but not body.
