AN 5.177 — Vanijja Sutta: Business (Wrong Livelihood)

translated from the Pāli by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

"Monks, a lay follower should not engage in five types of business. Which five? Business in weapons, business in human beings, business in meat, business in intoxicants, and business in poison.

"These are the five types of business that a lay follower should not engage in."
