第一次結集經藏
諸阿羅漢等復思惟：誰能明了集阿毗曇藏？念言：長老阿難，於五百阿羅漢中，解修妒路義第一，我等今請。即請言：起，就師子座處坐！佛在何處初說阿毗曇？阿難受僧教，師子座處坐，說：如是我聞，一時佛在舍婆提城。爾時，佛告諸比丘：諸有五怖、五罪、五怨，不除不滅，是因緣故，此生中身、心受無量苦；復後世墮惡道中。

Ananda accepted the instruction of the Sangha. He sat in the lion's seat and declared, "Thus I have heard, at one time, the Buddha was at the town of Sravasti.
"At that time the Buddha told the Bhikshus, 'If throughout one's existences, five dreadables, five violations and five despicables are not expelled and are not destroyed, then on account of these causes and conditions, during this very life, one's body and mind undergo immeasurable suffering. Moreover, in subsequent incarnations, one falls into the bad paths.'"
