### [44.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.44.28)

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.'
