“Ānanda, a monk does not shine if he delights in company, enjoys company, is committed to delighting in company; if he delights in a group, enjoys a group, rejoices in a group. Indeed, Ānanda, it is impossible that a monk who delights in company, enjoys company, is committed to delighting in company; who delights in a group, enjoys a group, rejoices in a group, will obtain at will—without difficulty, without trouble—the pleasure of RENUNCIATION, the pleasure of SECLUSION, the pleasure of PEACE, the pleasure of SELF-AWAKENING. But it is possible that
>a monk who lives alone, withdrawn from the group, can expect to obtain at will—without difficulty, without trouble—the PLEASURE of RENUNCIATION, the pleasure of SECLUSION, the pleasure of PEACE, the pleasure of SELF-AWAKENING.”
—MN 122
