In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)

Accordingly, 鈥渢he fifth member (蝉补尘测补驳腻箩墨惫补).鈥擝y means of a pure wisdom (an膩sravapraj帽膩), to reject and eliminate the five bad ways of livelihood is right livelihood (蝉补尘测补驳腻箩墨惫补)鈥�.
Right livelihood (蝉补尘测补驳腻箩墨惫补) according to Mah膩y膩na: 鈥渁ll foods (bhojana), all means of subsistence are right (samyak) and are not bad (尘颈迟丑测腻). Established in a knowledge free of futile proliferation, the Bodhisattva does not choose right livelihood (蝉补尘测补驳腻箩墨惫补) and does not reject wrong livelihood (尘颈迟丑测腻j墨va). He does not depend on either the right law or the wrong law, but he remains always in pure knowledge. Penetrating thus into right living which is equality (蝉补尘补迟腻), he does not see life and does not see non-life. To practice this true wisdom (产丑奴迟补辫谤补箩帽腻) is what is called right livelihood (蝉补尘测补驳腻箩墨惫补) [in the Bodhisattva]鈥�.
Mahayana (啶す啶距く啶距え, mah膩y膩na) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many 蝉奴迟谤补蝉 of which some of the earliest are the various Praj帽膩p膩ramit膩 蝉奴迟谤补蝉.
