But does ‘taking’ really come into this? See:
It’s when a mendicant has gone to a wilderness, or to the root of a tree, or to an empty hut, and reflects like this:
Idhānanda, bhikkhu araññagato vā rukkhamūlagato vā suññāgāragato vā iti paṭisañcikkhati:
We wouldn’t think we’re ‘taking’ the tree, right? We just fit there for a meditation session. Similarly, when you’re in the wilderness, and you see an abandoned building (I’ve seen many!), you might do a meditation session inside. Less wind, less visible to animals, perhaps even some shelter from rain if there’s enough of the roof remaining to shelter your body.
This isn’t the same as setting up residence there. It hasn’t become ‘yours’ - therefore it’s not ‘taking’.
