right occupations list as per 2nd gunvrat
In Jain Dharma, the 2nd Guṇavrata is usually understood as Deśāvakāśika Vrat in the Śvetāmbara tradition, and it is about limiting one’s activity, movement, and worldly engagement. It is not given as a fixed “occupation list” in the scriptures.
If you mean right occupations according to Jain ethics, then a Jain householder should prefer low-harm, non-violent, and honest livelihood. Generally acceptable directions are:
- Teaching / education
- Writing / book work
- Accounting / bookkeeping
- Trade in non-living goods
- Banking / finance with honesty
- Art, design, and crafts without violence
- Software / office work / administration
- Business that does not involve injury to living beings
Occupations to avoid as far as possible in Jain conduct include:
- Slaughter / meat trade
- Fishing
- Alcohol or intoxicants
- Weapons / arms trade
- Poison trade
- Human or animal exploitation
- Gambling
- Deceptive or harmful trade
So, the Jain principle is: choose work with the least violence, least deception, and least attachment.
