我即如法為說出家功德之利 二答也。出家有二。一者深厭生死樂求涅槃。有證有得有利可說。名為小乘。二者悟三界如幻。無生無滅無證無得無利可說。此名大乘。今羅睺羅謬讚小乘涅槃之利。既有利可說。非密行也。未若大乘。不取不捨無得無證無利可說。真密行也。生曰。世榮雖樂難可久保。出家之理長樂無為。豈可同年悟其優劣哉。

"I then, in accordance with the Dharma, explained to them the benefits and merits of leaving household life." / Second, the answer. There are two kinds of leaving household life: First, deeply reviling saṃsāra and joyfully seeking nirvāṇa, where there is realization, attainment, and benefit that can be explained; this is called the Lesser Vehicle. Second, awakening to the three realms as illusory, without birth or cessation, without realization or attainment, and with no benefit to be explained; this is called the Great Vehicle. Here, Rāhula mistakenly praised the benefits of Hīnayāna nirvāṇa; since there were benefits to be explained, it was not esoteric practice. It is not yet like the Great Vehicle, which neither grasps nor abandons, has neither attainment nor realization, and has no benefit to be explained—this is true esoteric practice. Daosheng says: Although worldly glory is pleasurable, it is hard to preserve for long; the principle of leaving household life is perpetual delight in the unconditioned. How could their superiority and inferiority ever be compared in the same breath?
