Buddhist term for the five gravest offenses: killing one's father, killing one's mother, killing an arhat, shedding the blood of a Buddha, and causing a schism within the sangha. These are believed to lead to rebirth in the Avīci hell.
Committing the five cardinal sins is said to lead to falling into the Avīci hell.
From Buddhist terminology, combining 五 (five), 無間 (without interval, referring to the Avīci hell), and 業 (karma, deed). The term refers to actions that result in immediate rebirth in the Avīci hell.
