佛說自愛經 1.28

1.28

The World-Honoured One further said to the king: "Among all evil transgressions, the five gravest are these: Being unfilial and disloyal, killing one's parents or sovereign, bringing ruin to the family and chaos to the state—this is the first grave offense. An arhat's practice attains the concentrations of emptiness, wishlessness, and signlessness, matching the Buddha's mind to save and deliver sentient beings, yet the foolish turn against them—this is the second grave offense. As for the Buddha, all his offenses are exhausted, grand blessings are fully gathered, he possesses the marks, signs, and ten powers, guides sentient beings with the Dharma, and with kindness, compassion, joy, and protection his heart exceeds that of a loving mother, yet the foolish malign him with evil—this is the third grave offense. Pure śramaṇas have pure aspirations and lofty conduct; embracing the scriptures and Dharma, they assist the Buddha in transforming the foolish. The Buddhas succeed one another, and sentient beings attain deliverance entirely through the saṅgha. Yet when flattering slander creates discord, disharmony ensues; when the saṅgha is in disharmony, governance and Dharma are ruined, and the people run amok. When governance and Dharma are ruined and the people run amok, the three evil paths flourish, and the bhikṣu saṅgha is harassed—this is the fourth grave offense. Sentient beings offer precious items, land, and water to the Buddha's revered temples and shrines with sincere devotion to the Three Honoured Ones, yet foolish people vandalize or steal them—this is the fifth grave offense. Whoever commits these five offenses finds no mercy for their guilt; it is called killing oneself, destroying one's clan, and casting oneself into the fires of Mt. Tai! The gravity of these five offenses is heavier than Mount Sumeru; take care never to commit them!"
