【protecting life] regularly practice releasing animals, eliminate karma quickly, seeking wishes quickly, and blessings greatly increase, and promoting taoist karma

if a person really wants to achieve good fortune and longevity, he must do good deeds both profoundly and extensively.

however, if you want to do good deeds both profound and extensively, there is no one more thorough and perfect in all the good deeds in the world than releasing animals.

this is because a person eats with his mouth and pretends to be very limited. therefore, if a person abstains from killing and eats vegetarian food, he will kill less of his life and avoid creating killing karma. even if we try our best to tell each other and persuade relatives and friends around us, some people believe and some people do not believe. there are only a few people who can truly listen to our advice and influence them to not kill and eat vegetarian food.

only when releasing animals is the most immeasurable and boundless merit.

our lifelong wish to do good deeds can be fulfilled in a short time of day. if millions of people accumulate merits of good deeds, we can achieve it alone by ourselves. as long as you have the confidence and work hard to do it, disasters and dangers can be eliminated immediately, and the response to blessings can come immediately. no one has ever been exceptional in ancient and modern times, both in china and abroad.

moreover, although ordinary good deeds can correct their care and change their destiny, they must wait for opportunities and encounter opportunities to achieve something.

for example, if you reunite a divorced couple, find the lost flesh and blood of others, return the expensive money of others, save the dangerous lives of others, etc., you will have great merits, but these are not something that can be done often, and we may not be able to meet them. even if we encounter them, it is just a chance. it is absolutely impossible to have the opportunity to do it continuously. only releasing animals is the most extraordinary. it can be done anywhere, no matter when.

when we have more money, we buy more and put more lives. when we have less money, we buy less and put less lives. you can measure your own abilities and do your best. there is no limit on how much money you have, and you can do it with too many people.

therefore, when a person is seriously ill and encounters urgent difficulties, he makes a vow to do good deeds and make up for his sins and prolong his life. the intention at that time was not unhappy, but i was suffering from the lack of opportunity to meet the right cause and condition. i just waited hard and had good wishes but could not start to realize it. how could i find all kinds of responses to eliminate diseases, disasters, prolong life and avoid difficulties?

it is better to release the animals ourselves as soon as possible, so that our wishes can be met in a short time, and results will be achieved immediately in a short time. releasing animals looks very simple and is very easy to do. the sensing effect is fast and universal, and the merits are vast. releasing animals by one person can avoid diseases and disasters in one person's wealth. releasing animals by many people can save the catastrophe of the world and change the fate of the world.

in this way, if you want the good deeds you do are both profound and extensive, you really have to release animals.

5. release animals is enlightenment

the buddha nature of any sentient being is nothing or lacking or different from me, so every life is equal and precious. in releasing animals, we realize that all sentient beings know that they are greedy for life and fear of death, they all know that they are seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortunes, and they all have joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, which is exactly the same as me. all sentient beings have the true buddha nature. once their karma is exhausted, they can all become buddhas in the future. therefore, saving a sentient being is like saving a buddha's son, which is also equivalent to saving a future buddha.

6. release of animals is practice

instead of speaking ten thousand words in vain, it is better to be honest and just one word. the most important thing in learning buddhism is practice. in the real action of releasing animals, truly cultivate compassion, truly save lives, truly take refuge in sentient beings and recite the buddha's name and repent and dedicate merits, truly understand the principle that sentient beings are equal and consistent, all possess buddha nature, and all can become buddhas, and truly benefit oneself and others. only in this way can one truly gain benefits.

7. release animals is positive

eating vegetarian food and releasing animals are the two most important things for buddhist practitioners to practice. but eating vegetarian food is just to stop evil, it means to passively no longer create karma of killing and no longer accumulate new debts for killing; while releasing animals is to promote goodness, it means to actively save lives and repay the debts for killing that they owed before. if you eat vegetarian food but don’t release animals, you will still have the consequences of killing debts in the past; if you release animals but don’t eat vegetarian food, you will lose all the merits you earn because of eating meat and killing. therefore, eating vegetarian food and releasing animals is the two sides of the integration, and it must be complemented and parallel to achieve significant results.

9. release animals is changing your fate

our fate in this life is a result of the countless good and evil causes and conditions that have been created over many lives. if we create good causes, we will get good results, and if we create bad causes, we will get bad results. but our future destiny is completely in our own hands. by accumulating blessings and doing good deeds and sincerely repent, our destiny can be completely changed. the merit of releasing animals is the greatest, both direct and fast, and the power to change destiny is the most significant.
