又智度論云。有出家人樂合湯藥種穀植樹等不淨活命者。是名下口食。觀視星宿日月風雨雷電霹靂不淨活命者。是名仰口食。諂媚豪勢通使四方巧言多求不淨活命者。是名方口食。若學種種祝術卜算吉凶心術不正。如是等不淨活命者。是名維口食。又有五種邪命。何者為五。一者為利養故詐現異相奇特。二者為利養故自說功德。三者為利養故占相吉凶廣為人說。四者為利養故高聲現威令人畏敬。五者為利養故稱說所得供養以動人心。當知出家之人。為求利養種種邪命而活其身。皆是破戒。不免惡道也。又出家之人須常離著。若偏執一處即多住著。於己偏親。於他生嫉。

Furthermore, the Mahāprajñāpāramitā-śāstra says: 'There are renunciants who delight in concocting medicinal broths, planting grains, growing trees, and the like, to make an impure livelihood; this is called downward-facing livelihood. Observing the stars and constellations, the sun and moon, wind and rain, thunder and lightning, to make an impure livelihood; this is called upward-facing livelihood. Flattering the powerful, acting as envoys in the four directions, and seeking much with clever words to make an impure livelihood; this is called directional livelihood. Studying various spells and incantations, divining auspiciousness and inauspiciousness with improper mental techniques—such impure livelihoods as these are called intermediate livelihood. Furthermore, there are five kinds of wrong livelihood. What are the five? First, fraudulently displaying strange and extraordinary appearances for the sake of material gain. Second, personally extolling one's own virtues for the sake of material gain. Third, divining auspiciousness and inauspiciousness and explaining them broadly to others for the sake of material gain. Fourth, displaying authority in a loud voice to make people fear and respect one for the sake of material gain. Fifth, proclaiming the offerings one has obtained in order to stir people's minds for the sake of material gain. One should know that when a renunciant, for the sake of pursuing material gain, maintains his life through various wrong livelihoods, all of these break the precepts and cannot avoid the evil destinies. Furthermore, a renunciant must constantly be free from attachment. If one is partial to a single place, one will develop many dwelling attachments, being biased toward one's own associates and giving rise to jealousy toward others.'
