An Exhortation to Seek Isolated Places

Isolated places without any people
Arise naturally, free of fabrication.
If you want eternal happiness
Go to pleasant isolated places.

Quote from Khenpo Karten Rinpoche from his book Precious Teachings, the chapter “Showing the Path to Liberation: An Exhortation to Seek Isolated Places,” page 67 in the print version, and page 73 in the online version.
