Old Chinese Criteria
1. The current most general word for offending against what one is obliged to act in accordance with or going against a current is probably nì 逆 (ant. shùn 順 "follow and obey"), which refers to any action which goes against something. 2. Fàn 犯 (ant. cǒng 從 "follow obediently") refers as a derogatory term to a deliberate and active breaking of a rule. 3. Gān 干 and gān 奸 are rare words referring specifically to culpable breach of the law. 4. Wéi 違 (ant. xún 循 "follow") and the rarer lí 離 as well as fēi 非 are neutral terms referring to a failure to comply with something. 5. Fú 拂 refers to something grating against sensibilities or creating a conflict. 6. Fáng 妨 adds to the failure of compliance the nuance of interference with what one fails to comply with. 7. Kuī 虧 adds to the failure of compliance the nuance of inflicting harm or damage on what one fails to comply with. 8. Shāng 傷, hài 害, and bài 敗 add to the failure of compliance the element of ruining what one has failed to comply with exactly by this failure of compliance; but hài 害 has developed a special related meaning of offending logically against something, i.e. being incompatible with it.

      "Now what is meant by the mother of all beings? It is desire which is procreative, going together with joy and anger and upholding all with motherliness. Ignorcance representing fatherhood brings about one's rebirth in the six villages of the sense-world. When there takes place a complete destruction of both roots, fatherhood and motherhood, it is said that father and mother are murdered. When there is a complete extermination of the subordinate group of passions such as anger, etc. which are like an enemy, a venomous rat, the murdering of the Arhat is said to take place. What is meant by breaking up the brotherhood? When there is a complete fundamental break-up of the combination of the Skandhas whose characterstic mark is a state of mutual dependence among dissimilarities, it is said that the Brotherhood is split up. [...] Mahaamati, when the body of the eight VijNNaanas, which erroneously recognises individuality and generality as being outside the Mind -which is seen [by the ignorant] in the form of an external world - is completely exterpiated by means of faulty discriminations, that is, my means of the triple emancipation of the non-outflows, and when thus the faulty mentality of the VijNNaana-Buddha is make to bleed, it is know as immediacy-deed. These, Mahaamati, are the five iner immediacies, and when they are experienced by a son or a daughter of a good family, there is an immediacy -deed or realisations regarding the Dharma." (tr. SUZUKI 1973: 120-121)
