五、勸諸長者子出家，二：初、分科。二、隨釋，四：初、勸出家。荊溪云：今得值得聞等者，諸長者子初聞大乘出家功德，信於佛法都未曾霑。故知曾聞秖聞向說，若不聞者如三億人。

> Fifth, encouraging the sons of elders to leave household life, in two parts: first, division into sections; second, sequential explanation, in four parts: first, encouraging them to leave household life. Jingxi says: Regarding "now being able to meet and hear, etc.": the sons of elders were hearing the merits of leaving household life in the Mahayana for the first time, and had never been moistened by faith in the Buddhadharma. Hence we know that having heard merely means hearing what was just spoken; those who have not heard are like the three hundred million people.
