Furthermore, the Upāsaka-śīla-sūtra says: 'Among the five deadly offenses, killing one's father is the lighter, while killing one's mother is the heavier. Killing an arhat is heavier than killing one's mother. Causing the Buddha's body to bleed is heavier than killing an arhat. Causing a schism in the Saṃgha is heavier still than causing the Buddha's body to bleed.'
