May ordained monks, intent upon the practice,

Find perfect places for retreat in solitude, Abandon every vagrant thought,

And meditate with trained and serviceable minds.

May the monks who wish to school themselves correctly in the three precious trainings find perfect solitude, outer, inner, and secret. And having found it, may they abandon all busy activity and every distraction. With full control over their minds (in allowing them either to move or to remain still), may they acquire the bliss that comes from perfect flexibility of mind and body. May they joyfully practice profound concentration.
