Five styles of wrong livelihood (Wyl. log 'tsho lnga):
- hypocrisy (tshul 'chos)
- flattery (kha gsag)
- soliciting (gzhogs slong)
- expropriating (thob kyi 'jal ba) and
- calculated generosity (rnyed pas rnyed pa 'dod pa)
These five are mentioned in chapter five of Nagarjuna's Precious Garland, the chapter on Bodhisattvas' Conduct.
