Āvaranatā Sutta

Six conditions that make it impossible, even if he hears the Dhamma, for a man to enter on the Path (niyāmaṃ okkaṇituṃ) which consists of good deeds:

  1. killing one’s own father,
  2. killing one’s own mother or
  3. killing an Arahant,
  4. willingly causing physical hurt to the Buddha,
  5. bringing dissension among the monks,
  6. being foolish, half-witted, deaf, and dumb. A.iii.436‑7.
