The Dangers of Unskillful Livelihoods

Responding to a question from the U.K. from a man who had just joined the armed forces, Ajahn Brahm talks on the topic Right Livelihood from the point of view of the Buddhist Eightfold Path. However, rather than thinking of life in terms of right and wrong, Ajahn Brahm reframes the discussion as being about living skillfully.
