2.17

又出家之人。若行財施則妨餘善。遠離阿練若處。必至聚落。與白衣從事多有言說。發起三毒。於六度等心薄。乃至貪著五欲。捨戒還俗。故名為死。或能反戒易起重罪。是名死等諸煩惱苦患。以是因緣故。於出家者稱歎法施。於在家者稱歎財施。

Furthermore, if a person who has left household life practices material giving, it obstructs other wholesome [practices]. They distance themselves from the araṇya (forest dwellings) and inevitably go into villages, dealing with white-robed laypeople and engaging in much talk, which arouses the three poisons; their mind toward the six pāramitās and so forth becomes weak, until they crave and cling to the five desires and abandon the precepts to return to lay life. Therefore it is called death. Or they may violate the precepts and easily commit grave offenses; these are called death and other such afflictions and sufferings. For this reason, for those who have left household life, the gift of the Dharma is praised, while for those at home, the gift of material wealth is praised.
