「維摩至具足」,三、明的勸觀行出家。應具四句:一形心俱不出;二形出心不出;三形不出心出,即是觀行出家;四形心俱出。故重勸言「汝但發心此即出家」。然其佛之所制,淨名本知,是故然可。但諸長者子各有大乘善根,所以勸其發心求真無為,即出二死之家。但戒從心生,道心若發,菩薩戒品隨心俱發,故云是即具足。

From "Vimalakīrti" to "is complete," third, clearly encouraging leaving household life through contemplative practice. This should possess four propositions: first, leaving neither in form nor mind; second, leaving in form but not mind; third, leaving in mind but not form, which is leaving household life through contemplative practice; fourth, leaving both in form and mind. Therefore he encourages them again, saying: "You only need to generate the mind, and this is leaving household life." However, as for what the Buddha instituted, Vimalakīrti originally knew it, and therefore agreed. But because the elder sons each had Mahāyāna roots of goodness, he encouraged them to generate the mind to seek the true unconditioned, thereby leaving the household of the two kinds of death. However, precepts arise from the mind; if the mind for the Path is generated, the categories of bodhisattva precepts are simultaneously generated with the mind; hence it is said: "this is complete."
