7.43

如十住毘婆沙論云。於此家中。父母兄弟妻子眷屬。車馬等物。增長貪求無有厭足。家是難滿如海吞流。家是無足如火焚薪。家是無息覺觀相續。家是苦性如怨詐親。家是障礙能妨聖道。家是鬪亂共相違諍。家是多瞋訶責好醜。家是無常雖久失壞。家是眾苦馳求守護。家是疑處猶如怨賊。家是顛倒貪著假名。家是伎人種種妄飾。家是變異會必離散。家是假借無有實事。家如眠夢富貴則失。家如朝露須臾變滅。家如蜜滴其味甚小。家如棘叢欲刺傷人。家如鐵虫覺觀常唼。如是等患不可具述。是故在家菩薩。當如是觀知其家過。在家妻子眷屬奴婢財物等。不能作救作歸。非我善友。是故宜當急離捨之。又無始已來一切眾生於六道中。互為父子親疎何定。故偈云。

As the Daśabhūmika-vibhāṣā states: In this household, [towards one's] parents, siblings, wife and children, relatives, carriages, horses, and other possessions, greed and craving increase without satisfaction. The household is hard to fill, like the ocean swallowing streams. The household knows no contentment, like fire consuming firewood. The household has no rest, discursive thoughts continuing incessantly. The household is by nature suffering, like an enemy falsely acting as a friend. The household is an obstacle, capable of impeding the noble path. The household is strife and disorder, [where people] mutually conflict and dispute. The household is full of wrath, scolding and rebuking over good and bad. The household is impermanent; though lasting long, it will be lost and destroyed. The household is a host of sufferings, rushing after things to guard them. The household is a place of suspicion, just like hostile bandits. The household is an inversion, greedily clinging to provisional designations. The household is an actor, with various false adornments. The household is mutability; what meets must part. The household is borrowed; it has no real substance. The household is like a dream in sleep; wealth and nobility are lost. The household is like morning dew, vanishing in an instant. The household is like a drop of honey, its sweetness exceedingly slight. The household is like a thicket of thorns, the barbs of desire wounding people. The household is like an iron worm, discursive thoughts constantly gnawing. Afflictions such as these cannot be fully recounted. Therefore, a lay bodhisattva should contemplate in this way and know the faults of the household. A household's wife, children, relatives, slaves, servants, wealth, and goods cannot provide rescue or refuge; they are not my good friends. Therefore, one ought to abandon and leave them swiftly. Furthermore, from beginningless time all sentient beings have alternately been father and son to one another in the six destinies; how could closeness or distance be fixed? Thus a verse says:
