2.94
卿已出家。號曰息心。穢雜不著。唯道是欽。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。今故誡約。幸自開神。
'You have already renounced household life and are called one who stills the mind: defilement and confusion do not touch you, and you venerate only the Way. Your aspiration partakes of purity, like jade and ice. You should cultivate the scriptures and precepts to rescue your spiritual consciousness, so that sentient beings receive protection and your kin are also delivered. Why then do you lack such an aim and drift along with worldly customs, indulging your four elements and pampering your five senses? The Way and virtue consequently grow shallow while worldly affairs grow deeper. Such a renunciation of household life merely mingles with worldly dust. Now I admonish and restrain you: may you awaken your spirits.'
