Cattāri Brahmavihārā

The training rule to refrain from wrong livelihood has given me much to consider over the years since I began to practice more seriously. In essence, this prefept is nothing more than the expression of the five basic precepts in a work environment. Don’t butcher, don’t steal, don’t facilitate sexual misconduct, don’t lie and don’t sell intoxicants. And while the list may seem simple at first (I’m not going to start pimping any time soon) it’s never as clear as it appears.
