Informing the mother and requesting to leave home has two \[parts\]: first, informing her of their father's faithful mind; second, requesting to leave home. Leaving home is vast and unconfined, compared to empty space. As a sūtra says: 'Although a peacock has lovely colors adorning its body, it is not equal to a wild goose or crane that can fly far; although a householder in white robes has the power of wealth and noble status, it is not equal to the superior merit of leaving home.' The Daśacakra-sūtra says: 'Although a campaka flower is withered and faded, it still surpasses other flowers when fresh and spotless; an immoral bhikṣu of evil conduct still surpasses all zealous non-Buddhists.' For this reason, the two sons requested their mother to let them leave home. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 10.418](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.10.418) - [Next: 10.420](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.10.420) - [Up: 10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.10) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723~en-mt.10.419) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [法苑珠林](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.22.28) — 道世, Classical Chinese - [諸經要集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.4.30) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.10.419](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1723.10.419) · Pramāṇa
