The Yogācārabhūmi-śāstra states: "Living at home is troubling and vexing, like dwelling in a dusty house; leaving the household is broad and expansive, like abiding in open space. Therefore, one should renounce everything, and in the well-expounded Vinaya, through correct faith renounce home and go forth into the homeless state." ○ The Vibhāṣā-śāstra states: "The household is a condition for defilement. One who leaves the household does so to extinguish defilements and entanglements; hence one should stay far away from it."
