AN 9.40 A bull elephant, annoyed by living in the herd, goes off by himself. Similarly, a mendicant feeling crowded in a monastery goes off by themselves and happily meditates in seclusion.
AN 9.41 The householder Tapussa reflects that it is renunciation that distinguishes lay from monastic. The Buddha responds by giving a long account of his practice of absorption before awakening.
