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