Explain Samma Ajiva with reference to the sutta..





         
 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.
