Samma
Ajeeva is one part of Eight fold fath.
It is the right livelihood abstaining
from wrong living. Walking in the Nibbana without bad practices. Evoiding from the
all dishonesty. The Buddha recounted the misdeeds of animal
rights, trade, arms trade, liquor trade, and poison trading. Those who travel
in the Nirvana need to preserve the Samma Ajiva. Not only do sterilization
surveys, fraudulent activities, stirring things that are not suitable for
commodities, misappropriation of public property, bribes, and extortions, as
well as exploitation of relief items, fall into the category of mischief. Micca
Ajiva is an obstacle to Nibbana.
The Anguttara Nikaya , states
Harvey, asserts that the right livelihood does not trade in weapons, living
beings, meat, alcoholic drink or poison. The same text, in section , asserts
that this applies to lay Buddhists.
Right livelihood precept is mentioned in many early Buddhist
texts, such as the Mahācattārīsaka Sutta in Majjhima
Nikaya as follows:
"And
what is right livelihood? Right livelihood, I tell you, is of two sorts: There
is right livelihood with effluents, siding with merit, resulting in acquisitions;
there is right livelihood that is noble, without effluents, transcendent, a
factor of the path.
"And what is the right livelihood with effluents, siding with merit, resulting
in acquisitions? There is the case where a disciple of the noble ones abandons
wrong livelihood and maintains his life with right livelihood. This is the
right livelihood with effluents, siding with merit, resulting in acquisitions.
"And
what is the right livelihood that is noble, without effluents, transcendent, a
factor of the path? The abstaining, desisting, abstinence, avoidance of wrong
livelihood in one developing the noble path whose mind is noble, whose mind is
without effluents, who is fully possessed of the noble path.
The early
canonical texts state right livelihood as avoiding and abstaining from wrong
livelihood. This virtue is further explained in Buddhist texts, states Vetter,
as "living from begging, but not accepting everything and not possessing
more than is strictly necessary". For lay Buddhists, states Harvey, this
precept requires that the livelihood avoid causing suffering to sentient beings
by cheating them, or harming or killing them in any way.
According to these examples, we can conclude
that attending right livelihood can lead to a good life. And the life of the
Hereafter will be better. It will show the way to the Nibbana , which abstained
from the Micca Ajiva. Always try to attend the
right livelihood, which calls Samma
Ajiva.
