Five styles of wrong livelihood (Tib. ལོག་འཚོ་ལྔ་, loktso nga, Wyl. log 'tsho lnga):
- hypocrisy (ཚུལ་འཆོས་, tshul 'chos)
- flattery (ཁ་གསག, kha gsag)
- soliciting (གཞོགས་སློང་, gzhogs slong)
- expropriating (ཐོབ་ཀྱི་འཇལ་བ་, thob kyi 'jal ba) and
- calculated generosity (རྙེད་པས་རྙེད་པ་འདོད་པ་, rnyed pas rnyed pa 'dod pa)
These five are mentioned in chapter five of Nagarjuna's Precious Garland, the chapter on Bodhisattvas' Conduct.
