Well the eight-fold path doesn't exactly define 'rightness' does it? I mean what exactly is 'rightness' of livelihood?. We can be fairly sure that it means we should earn a living in such a way as does no harm and may do good. Once more though, we must define 'harm' and 'good'. Headache. So Buddhists have the sixteen precepts. The first three are called treasures:
(1) Be one with the Buddha
(2) Be one with the Dharma (teachings)
(3) Be one with the Sangha (Buddhist community)
Then come the next three called pure precepts:
(1) Do not commit evil
(2) Do good
(3) Do good for others
(1) Be one with the Buddha
(2) Be one with the Dharma (teachings)
(3) Be one with the Sangha (Buddhist community)
Then come the next three called pure precepts:
(1) Do not commit evil
(2) Do good
(3) Do good for others
