44.28

我父及親屬 皆悉已出家
無量億眾生 為法亦出家
我今樂出家 不樂住五欲
一心求佛道 欲詣導師所
若發心出家 離諸欲火者
應速隨我去 離難甚難得
不發出家心 不遠離欲火
安心在居家 安住於實法

'My father and relatives / have all already gone forth;
innumerable koṭis of sentient beings / have also gone forth for the sake of the Dharma.
I now delight in renunciation, / not in dwelling in the five desires.
With single mind I seek the Buddha path, / wishing to go to the Guide.
If one resolves to go forth into homelessness / and departs from the fires of desire,
one should swiftly follow after me; / to escape difficulties is extremely hard to obtain.
If one does not resolve to go forth, / and does not distance oneself from the fires of desire,
then settle your mind in household life, / and dwell securely in the true Dharma.'
