Right Livelihood and Environmental Ethics

Author(s) Mr. Manish Kumar
Country India
Abstract This article explores the integration of Buddhism’s Right Livelihood (Sammā-Ājīva) and environmental ethics in India, placing emphasis on sustainable development. Aligning with the Noble Eightfold Path, Right Livelihood endorses non-destructive, moral modes of making a living that honor compassion (karuṇā), non-violence (ahimsa), interdependence (pratītyasamutpāda), and are within the framework of ancient Indian ecological wisdom. This is exemplified by indigenous systems such as those practiced by the Adi women of Arunachal Pradesh. There are still challenges in dealing with contemporary consumerist business structures; studies indicate that Buddhist majority regions tend to experience a gap between corporate sustainability practices and Buddhist values. The article analyses how Right Livelihood could inspire mindful consumerism alongside resilient community-oriented economic models to tackle environmental crises such as deforestation or river pollution. Alongside traditional wisdom, modern needs propel forward-thinking Buddhist ethics that India can embrace towards sustainable livelihoods and ecological responsibility.
