2.32
卿已出家號曰息心。穢雜不著惟道是欽。志參清潔如玉如氷。
當修經戒以濟精神。眾生蒙祐并度所親。
如何無心隨俗浮沈。縱其四大恣其五根。
道德遂淺世事更深。如是出家與世同塵。
今故戒約幸自開神。
You have already left home, titled 'one who quiets the mind.'
Unattached to defilement and confusion, you revere only the Way.
Your aspiration enters into purity, like jade and like ice.
You should cultivate the scriptures and precepts to rescue the spirit,
So that sentient beings receive protection and kin are delivered as well.
How is it that with no [spiritual] mind, you drift and sink with the mundane,
Indulging your four great elements and giving free rein to your five sense roots?
Virtue of the Way consequently wanes, and worldly affairs grow deeper.
Leaving home in such a manner, you mingle with the dust of the world.
Now, therefore, I lay down admonitions: may you open and awaken your spirit!
