"Right" Occupation
  • 1 answers

Meghna Thapar 4 years ago

Right Occupation or Right Livelihood

We often spend a lot of time at work, but even if we do not work, Right Occupation refers to our habitual, everyday actions. Our regular activities should not infringe Right Speech and Right Action. What we do on a regular basis is more likely to establish bad karma than what we do as a one off.

Gotama gave various examples of wrong occupation, those that involve:

  • deceit,
  • treachery,
  • soothsaying,
  • trickery,
  • usury.

Also, specifically, those trading

  • in arms:
  • in living beings,
  • in flesh,
  • in intoxicating drinks, and
  • in poison'.

The professions of a soldier, a fisherman, a hunter, etc, are considered unfitting for a Buddhist.
