1, release, in Buddhism, this is a matter of infinite merit, not only accumulating merits for yourself, but also accumulating blessings for your children. The released animals can be any creature in nature, and the tortoise is just one of them. Therefore, people who want to buy turtles for release should be Buddhist believers, believing that releasing turtles can accumulate merits for themselves and their children.
2. What are the benefits of releasing?
(1) Letting go is to save lives. Letting go is to save the lives of those who are captured, caught, slaughtered and dying. The most precious thing for all beings is to regain their vitality and save their lives. They are the most grateful, so they have great merits!
(2) Letting go is paying off debts. The karma for killing people in this life and since the robbery is endless. Letting go is to pay off countless debts accumulated by people before, and to pay and contribute to saving the lives of all beings.
(3) Release is an emergency. Releasing is different from other merits. Is to save lives at any time and bring slaughtered lives back to life at any time. This is an urgent action, just like an emergency in a hospital. A moment, a complete action, can save thousands of lives, so the merits are deep.
(4) Letting go is compassion. Buddha's heart is full of sorrow. Compassion is the foundation of learning Buddhism, and liberation is the act of relieving the suffering and saving all beings with compassion. Release can nourish our compassion, and in the process of release, compassion is cultivated to the greatest extent. Often released, compassion often grows, and it is more in line with the Buddha's heart, and it is easier to feel the Taoist relationship with the Buddha, and it is easier to achieve Buddhism.
(5) Emancipation means realizing that the Buddha nature of any sentient being is no different from mine, so every life is equal and precious. In the release, let us realize that all sentient beings know that they are afraid of death, that they are seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, and that they all have joys and sorrows. Compared with me, they are exactly the same; All sentient beings are true Buddhas, and once the karma is exhausted, they can become Buddhas in the future. So saving a living being is like saving a Buddha, which is equivalent to saving a future Buddha.
(6) Letting go is practice. Practice is better than empty talk. The most important thing to learn Buddhism is to practice. In the action of releasing the truth, we should really cultivate compassion, truly save lives, truly convert, recite Buddha, repent and return to all beings, truly understand the truth that all beings are equal, Buddha-like and able to become Buddha, and truly be self-interested and altruistic. Only in this way can we really get benefits.
(7) Letting go is an active vegetarian diet. Letting go is two very important things for those who study Buddhism. But vegetarianism is only to stop evil. It is passive not to rebuild the killing industry and no longer owe new killing debts; However, the release is to promote kindness, to actively save lives, and to repay the debts owed before. If you are vegetarian and don't release it, the karma you owe before will still be rewarded; Putting down and not being a vegetarian, all the merits gained are lost because of eating meat to kill. Therefore, the release of vegetarian food is two sides of a whole, which need to complement each other, and the effect will be remarkable.
(8) release is to facilitate release on the same day. On that day, countless beings trapped in cages were immediately free, countless dying lives were immediately restored to life, and infinite merits were immediately available that day. And no matter how many people have less money, anyone can be released at any time and any place as long as they have compassion.
