After the people left, the Buddha usually took a bath. Then he would meditate for some time to rest. After that, he would instruct bhikkhus that came from other places. He helped them to understand the difficult parts of the Dhamma and so made them very happy. At sunset, the Buddha usually went for a walk to refresh himself. After this he would again talk with the bhikkhus. Late at night, distinguished people, such as kings, came for advice and instruction in the Dhamma.
