No
matter where you stay,
be it a busy place or a solitary retreat,
the only things that you need to conquer
are your mind's five poisons,
and your own true enemies,
the eight worldly concerns - nothing else.

Rinpoche
(Five
poisons: Ignorance, attachment, aversion, pride, jealousy.)
(Eight
worldly concerns: Hope for happiness and fear of suffering. Hope for fame and
fear of insignificance. Hope for praise and fear of blame. Hope for gain and
fear of loss.)
