----- 诸葛长青

Amitabha Buddha.

Blessed be the Infinite Sky Dignity.

Letting go of life is a great blessing and a great induction.

Letting go of life not only saves lives, but also accumulates merit and virtue, changes destiny and promotes good fortune.

There are many benefits of releasing life, which can change one's destiny and make one's heart want to achieve all things.

According to Zhuge Changqing: by regularly putting aside a portion of your money to let go of life, you will reap incredible inductions. Because not only do you save lives facing slaughter, you also accumulate deep yin virtue and blessings ......

Where there is a cause, there is a consequence, from giving away, there is gain ......

Continuing to release life will promote good marriages, good jobs, good careers, good grades for your children, enhance your blessings, enlighten your wisdom and accelerate your cultivation ...... Everything will be asked for.  

There are many benefits of releasing raw beings, which can change one's destiny and make one's heart want to achieve all things.

The famous Master Hanshan of the Ming Dynasty of China said that releasing life has fifteen kinds of merits and benefits.

Firstly, releasing a living being is in harmony with the heart of heaven. Secondly, releasing life is in accordance with the will of Buddha. Thirdly, releasing life is free from three disasters.

Fourthly, releasing life from the nine crosses. Fifthly, the release of life is long-lived. Sixthly, to release a life of prosperity.

Ten is the release of life without illness. Eleven is the release of life to relieve grievances. Twelve is the release of life to purify sin and dirt.

Thirteen is the release of life to the goddess of mercy. Fourteen is the release of life with universal virtue. Fifteen is the release of life to form good relationships.

In order to make it easier for those who are interested to learn how to release life quickly, Zhuge Changqing decided to compile and improve a "simple and convenient, easy to understand, easy to learn" ritual for releasing life based on the experiences of ancient and modern Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, good deities, sages, senior monks and sages, as well as the insights of the monks at home and the practical experience of releasing life.

Here, Zhuge Changqing will present the complete protocol to all those who are interested in it.

Part One: The Origin of Life Release 

Amitabha Buddha.

The Buddha of Immeasurable Bliss.

Since ancient times, the Chinese people have had a benevolent and compassionate heart.

Everywhere in China, there are traces of those who have set free life for good.

The ancestor of mankind, Fuxi and Nuwa, left mankind the words "Self-improvement and Virtue" as a reminder to do more good deeds.

The Confucian sage Confucius, the Taoist sage Laozi, and the Buddhist sage Shakyamuni Buddha all advocated doing good deeds, stopping killing and releasing life, and benefiting society.

To release life is to save lives, to protect nature and to accumulate blessings.

To release life is to dissolve karmic obstacles, to redeem debtors, to change one's fate and to be lucky.

To release life is to give charity, that is, "financial charity, Dharma charity and fearless charity", and to continue to release life is to make all things come true and to promote fruitfulness.

Whether you are seeking wealth, prosperity, children, longevity or Buddhahood, you can achieve it by releasing more beings.

Zhuge Changqing's research into ancient and modern Confucianism, Buddhism, Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism has revealed that many Buddhist monks, Taoists and Confucian sages have left behind many touching stories of their lives being saved through vegetarian practices.

The merits and blessings of releasing life are immense.

Zhuge Changqing has talked about this many times in articles and albums such as "The Five-in-One" method (repentance, food giving, life release, chanting and vegetarianism) and "Life Release Culture".

I. What is life release?

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha Buddha. The Buddha of Immeasurable Bliss. To release a living being (fish, loach, turtles, frogs, birds, snakes, foxes, earthworms, scorpions, human beings, etc.) whose life is in danger of being slaughtered, eaten or sold is the act of releasing them immediately.

Saving a life is better than building a seven-storey pagoda. Releasing life is a great good deed that directly saves lives and accumulates merit.

Amitabha Buddha. Amitabha Buddha. The most precious thing for all living beings is their own lives. By releasing the living beings, we not only save their lives, but also plant the seeds of Buddhahood for them and save their wisdom life, so they are most grateful and your merit and blessings are the greatest.

Secondly, what are the classical sources for releasing life?

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha Buddha. Blessed be the Infinite Heavenly Father. Over the ages, human beings have been transformed in the six paths of reincarnation, such as the path of heaven, the path of man, the path of asuras, the path of animals, the path of hungry ghosts and the path of hell, according to the cause and effect of good and evil. Here are some excerpts from the classics on releasing life.

The Dhammapada says: "Of all the remaining sins, killing is the most important. Among all the merits and virtues, releasing life is the most important.

The Medicine Master's Sutra of Glazed Light's Benevolent Merit and Virtue says: Release all life ...... to be cured of disease and to be relieved of all difficulties. Release all life to cultivate blessings ...... so that suffering and misery can be overcome and all difficulties can be avoided.

The Sutra of the Ten Good Karmas says that releasing life: those who do not kill life achieve the ten kinds of freedom from distress.

The Avatamsaka Sutra. The Sutra of the Universal Virtues says that releasing a living being is the most beloved of all living beings and the most beloved of all Buddhas.

The Brahma Sutra says: "Son of Buddha! If one kills oneself, teaches others to kill, conveniently kills, praises killing, sees and follows, and even curses killing. The cause of killing, the cause of killing, the law of killing, the karma of killing. Even all those who have life shall not be killed for this reason. The Bodhisattva should have abiding compassion, filial piety, and the convenience of helping all sentient beings, but he who kills with abandon and pleasure is guilty of Bodhisattva Brahmacharya.

The Brahma Sutra says of releasing living beings: If the Buddha's son! If a person kills and eats, he is killing my parents and my body, and all earth and water are my first body, and all fire and wind are my original body. If you see people killing animals, you should facilitate relief and relieve their suffering.

The Sutra says that if one abstains from killing and releasing animals, one will be rewarded with a long life; and if one abstains from killing and releasing animals, one will be able to resolve grievances and release knots, cultivate compassion, and nourish the seeds of Bodhi.

The Buddha's Sutra on the Differences in Karma for the Shugha Elders says that releasing life is one of the ten karmas that can lead to the reward of long life: first, not to kill oneself; second, to persuade others not to kill; third, to praise not killing; fourth, to rejoice when one sees others not killing; fifth, to facilitate the rescue of those who have been killed; sixth, to comfort those who are afraid of death; seven, to give fearlessness to those who are afraid; eighth, to have compassion for those who are suffering; ninth, to have great compassion for those who are in distress; and tenth, to have great compassion for those who are in need. The tenth is to give food and drink to all sentient beings.

The Sutra on the Burial of the Coffin after the Death of the Buddha states that the release of life should be done with compassion and kindness. The Sutra on the Burial of the Coffin after the Death of the Buddha says: "We should be merciful and gracious to all living beings, treating their lives as if they were our own, being merciful and compassionate, forgiving them and enlightening them, protecting them as if they were our own, and moistening the grass and trees, so that no false opportunity is lost.

In the Golden Light Sutra, the Sutra of the Elder Son of Flowing Water, it is said that the Elder Son of Flowing Water (in the previous life of Shakyamuni Buddha) saved the dying fish, gave them water and food, and explained the Mahayana sutras to them.

In the Miscellaneous Treasures Sutra, it is said that a sādhu was rewarded with a long life by saving the ants from drifting in the water.

The Lankan Avalokiteshvara Sutra says that one should not eat meat.

Maitreya Bodhisattva says: "If you are diligent in releasing life, you will live a long life; if you have a bodhicitta, you will be saved by heaven. 

The Book of the Lie Tzu - The Book of Saying Fu says: "Release life on the first day of the year to show that there is grace.

The Tao Te Ching says: "Heaven is selfless and always gives to the good.

The Book of Changes says: "A house of goodness will be blessed with an afterglow, while a house of ill will have an afterglow.

The Book of Induction states that people should do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and that "there is no door to misfortune, but man calls himself". The so-called good people are respected by all, blessed by heaven, followed by blessings and fortunes, kept away by evil spirits, and guarded by the gods. If a man's heart starts from good, the good is not yet done, but the gods of good are already with him; or if his heart starts from evil, the evil is not yet done, but the gods of evil are already with him. Those who have done evil, but later repent of it, and do no evil, and practice all good, will be blessed with good fortune for a long time. Therefore, if an auspicious man speaks good, sees good, and acts good, and has three good deeds in one day, the heavens will be blessed for three years. If a wicked man speaks evil, sees evil, and acts evil, three evils in one day will bring misfortune to heaven in three years. Why don't you do it?

Zhuge Changqing: To continue to release life is to plant the karma for prosperity and good fortune, and to plant the karma for both blessing and wisdom, and to achieve fruitfulness.

III. Senior Monks and the Release of Life

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha Buddha. Venerable Fusheng Infinite Heaven. Throughout history, many sages and celebrities have been praisers, practitioners and spreaders of life release. Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha had one reincarnation dedicated to releasing life.   

The Zen Master Zhigong said: "The merits of releasing life are unlimited. It is said in the sutra that all spirits have a Buddha nature, but because of delusional karma, they rise and fall separately, and are reincarnated as six relatives. If one can develop a heart of joy and compassion and redeem one's life, one will be able to preserve one's illness and prolong one's life in the present life, and in the future one will be able to attain Bodhi.

The Sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism, Master Hui Neng, once lived in seclusion among the hunters. When the hunters entrusted him with guarding their nets, the master was so compassionate that when he saw caught wolves, deer and rabbits, he would try to release them. Later, the master sat in the Cao Xi dojo and greatly promoted Zen Buddhism, spreading the path to the divine.

Hanshan and Goude said, "Can one become a Buddha by releasing a life?" He said, "All Buddhas have no heart, but love for things. If one can save the suffering of things, one will be able to fulfill the wishes of the Buddhas. Therefore, a thought of compassion and saving the life of a thing is a thought of Kuan Shi Yin. If we let go of life day by day, our compassion will grow day by day, and if we do not stop, we will flow into the sea of Kuan Shi Yin's great compassion. My mind is the Buddha's mind, how can I not become a Buddha! Therefore, we know that releasing life is not a small kindness. We all share the same wish, so that we can exhort all beings to the same compassion."

In his later years, Master Ciyun (Zun's master) presided over the monasteries of Zhaoqing and Lingshan in Hangzhou, where he gave sutras and taught the Dharma, and was given the name "Ciyun" by Emperor Zhenzong. The pond was then closed to all fishing and hunting. Zhuge Changqing: The origin of the West Lake as a pond for releasing life.

Buddhist monk Buddha Yin: "If you want to return a piece of skin to him, the ancient sage's message will not be false. If you abstain from killing and reciting Buddha's name and release life, you will reach the Western Paradise. (Zhuge Changqing: 脔, luán, means "cut into small pieces of meat")

If you let go of your own mind and the Buddhas of the future, you are truly nembutsu samadhi, and if you practice this nembutsu samadhi, you are constantly turning the ten trillion parts of the Dharma Flower Sutra.

Master Lian Chi said: "The cause of disease is mostly from killing, so the emphasis is on releasing life. It is difficult to mention all the good fortune of those who abstain from killing, who are guarded by good gods, who eliminate calamities, who live a long life, and who have good and filial children. If you release life and recite the Buddha's teachings, you will not only increase your good fortune, but will also be able to follow your wish to be reborn, to escape the cycle of rebirth and to enter the land of non-return. The most important thing in this world is life, and the worst thing in the world is killing and injury. It is not only Buddhism, but also Confucianism.

Master Confucian Cloud said: "In the spring of 2003, Cloud fell ill in the mountains and could not recover. Medical treatment, nutritional supplements, meditation, all ineffective, physical and mental distress, do not know what to do, then received the compassionate advice of the Pure Path, said that if you advocate the release of life, and all the people to do when you get early accounted for not medicine, cloud, so in accordance with the advice, the first release of life, and to all parties to promote, after a short time, the tenacious chronic illness suddenly healed. Zhuge Changqing: releasing life can promote recovery from illness. This is the story of Master Confucius Yun, who personally proved that releasing a life can cure a disease.

Master Shimeon said: "Not killing is the first of the precepts, and releasing life is the first of all good things.

Master Yin Guang said: "All living creatures are treated by the Buddha as if they were his sons. It is important to understand that releasing a living creature is originally to stop killing, and stopping killing must start with eating vegetarianism. If everyone abstains from killing and everyone becomes a vegetarian, then families will practice charity and people will practice propriety. If everyone abstains from killing and eats vegetarianism, then families will be charitable and people will be polite and righteous. Why would there be robberies and killings of each other? This is the most important thing to do in order to undo the natural and human disasters and to correct the root of the problem! Anyone who wishes to have a peaceful home, a peaceful mind and body, a peaceful world and a happy people. Please seek them all in abstaining from killing, letting go of life, eating vegetarianism and reciting the Buddha's name, and you will find everything you seek! Zhuge Changqing: The six paths of reincarnation are true.

Master Yuan Ying says: As for the protection of life, the two religions, Buddhism and Confucianism, are in harmony. The Buddha's great compassion is the basis of salvation. The great compassion is to share the happiness of all sentient beings, and the great sadness is to remove the suffering of all sentient beings. We should learn from the Buddha's great compassion and practice cessation of killing and releasing sentient beings. This is why those who study Buddhism should not only abstain from killing, but should also make every effort to release all living beings, in order to be in line with the Buddha's compassionate principles. Confucianism's "Zhou Yi" says, "Qian means great birth, Kun means extensive birth, and the great virtue of heaven and earth means birth. Therefore, Confucius praised Yi for the virtue of life. I hope that all members of the community will make every effort to do so. Even if it is your birthday, your marriage or the birth of a child, it is advisable to abstain from killing and releasing life and to practice vegetarianism, so as to seek good results with good causes.

The old monk Hsu Yun said: "Stop killing and release the ten evils and turn them into ten good deeds. The people of the world are suffering from the heavy burden of killing, all of which is the result of karma.

Master Hong Yi said that releasing life is an excellent way to accumulate virtue, create blessings, and change one's fate. I wish you all to practice the practice of releasing life from now on and to change the practice of killing life.   

Zhuge Changqing: The merits of releasing life are incredible, the blessings are enormous and the merits are great. By putting aside a portion of your money to release life on a regular basis, you will reap the incredible inspiration of asking for a good marriage, good health, good career, good grades for your children ...... Everything you ask for will be answered. Not only do you save lives that are facing slaughter, you also accumulate deep yin virtue blessings ...... There is cause and there is effect, there is give and take.

Buddhists say that releasing life has the first merit and enjoys unlimited blessings.

There are many benefits to releasing life, and those who are lucky enough to do so can continue to do so, persistently and in response to requests.

Part Two: The Secret of Changing Destiny by Releasing Life and Doing Good 

Amitabha Buddha.

The Buddha of Infinite Bliss.

Sustained release of life, with requests, can quickly change one's destiny.

Why do you say so?

Zhuge Changqing tells those who are fortunate that there are three reasons why those who release life change their destiny.

Firstly, the act of releasing life is astounding. Zhuge Changqing's research and practice shows that the act of releasing life is a direct way to save lives, and that releasing life is at the same time "financial, legal and fearless charity", so it has great merit and influence. When you release life, all the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and good deities in heaven and earth will immediately perceive your good deeds.

For example: Namo Shakyamuni Buddha. Namo Amitabha Buddha. Namo Luridani Medicine Buddha of the East. Namo Maitreya Buddha Namo Kuan Shi Yin Bodhisattva. Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Namo Vairocana Bodhisattva. Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Namo Namo Namo Bodhisattva of the Three Worlds in the Ten Directions.

For example, the Buddha of Immeasurable Blessings. The Heavenly Father of the First Beginning. Lingbao Heavenly Honour. The Heavenly Father of Dao De. Taiyi Heavenly Father of Suffering. Tai Shang Lao Jun. Jade Emperor. Queen Mother. Dragon King God. God of the City. God of the Land. God of the Mountain. The God of Water. All the gods and goddesses of the three realms and ten directions.

The Buddha and the Bodhisattvas and the gods of goodness will joyfully bless and bless those who do good deeds, helping them to quickly eliminate karmic obstacles, dissolve unjust debts, promote good fortune and change their destiny, so that they can have their hearts and minds fulfilled and all things will go their way.

Zhuge Changqing reminds us that people who continue to release life will often smell the scent of sandalwood, dream of auspicious things, dream of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, dream of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas giving Buddha beads, dream of noble people helping them, and so on.

In fact, people who have been releasing beings for a long time already have a protector deity around them, protecting them at all times.

This is why many people wonder why people who release life will have their requests answered and become rich and lucky.

Think about it, with the blessings of the Buddha, Bodhisattvas and Gods, and the protection of the Dharma Protector, how can you not be lucky and fortunate?

Secondly, releasing life is in line with the heavenly path. Heaven has the virtue of good living. If you do good deeds and accumulate virtue, you will be blessed. If you keep releasing life, you will be blessed by heaven. According to Zhuge Changqing's research, all the Buddha and Bodhisattvas, the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, Yuan Shi Tian Zun, Ling Bao Tian Zun, Dao De Tian Zun, Tai Yi Tian Zun, Tai Shang Lao Jun, Fu Lu Shou San, Wen Qu Xing, the God of Wealth, the Dragon God, the Four Heavenly Kings, Feng Du Da Di, the God of the Land and other good gods between heaven and earth care for all sentient beings. There are gods of good and evil who visit the heaven and earth, and those who are found to be doing good or evil are reported to the Heavenly Court and punished.

Zhuge Changqing's study of Chinese culture reveals that every hour, every day, every month, there are good gods of heaven and earth who inspect the earth and record people's good and bad deeds, and report them to the Heavenly Court every month. Those who do good deeds are blessed and those who do evil are punished. And the Heavenly Court is fair and will definitely reward those who do good deeds.

The Book of the Induction of the Supreme Being says: "There are gods of heaven and earth who take away the reckoning of people according to the seriousness of their sins"; "There is also the God of the Three Plateaus who records people's sins and takes away their reckoning"; "There is also the God of the Three Corpses who, on the day of Geng Shen The gods of the three corpses, who are in the human body on the day of Geng Shen, go up to the heavenly cave and speak of the sins of men. When people acted against righteousness and reason, they would be "deprived of discipline and reckoning", and "when the reckoning was reduced, they would be poor and depleted, and they would suffer many troubles", and eventually "when the reckoning was exhausted, they would die", and they would leave this world. If one dies with a sense of guilt, one's descendants will be affected. If one is "in the right way, one is in the wrong way, one is out of the right way", then "Heaven will bless him, fortune and prosperity will follow him, evil will be avoided, the spirits will guard him, and his work will be accomplished, and the gods will be able to wing him." If you change from evil to good, you will turn your misfortune into blessing.

Thirdly, releasing the living will emit a "cosmic charity factor". Zhuge Changqing tells us that when you let go of life, a "charity factor light" will be emitted from your body, which will accompany your release and be emitted into the space-time of the universe. This light, which travels through space and time, will closely surround you and protect you at all times, allowing you to eliminate karmic obstacles, resolve unjust debts, and change your life's destiny track, so that you can embark on an auspicious and prosperous environment where your heart will be fulfilled and your requests will be answered.

Observe in meditation: there is white, purple and coloured light on those who consistently release their lives. This is all the charity factor.

The more you release beings, the greater the field of charity factors you emit, then the better your luck will be. This is the principle of releasing beings to dissolve illness and prolong life. People with divine and celestial eyes have observed that people who regularly release life not only have a protective deity around them, but also have a special bright light emanating from their bodies.

In addition, Zhuge Changqing's research has revealed that every animal life has a protective deity, and your release of life will touch those protective deities, who will be grateful to you when they know you have released life, and will quietly provide you with unlimited opportunities.

Those who keep on releasing life will be blessed by the Buddha and all the gods and goddesses of heaven and earth, and will certainly be able to answer all their requests.

Zhuge Changqing reminds those who have the fortune to do so that they should have firm faith and perseverance in releasing life to change their destiny, and should not be in a hurry or in a hurry to achieve anything.

The fourth is that releasing life will change destiny. Because of the great virtue of doing good deeds, the continued release of life will change one's destiny. When do you feel a sense of inspiration? When does it change one's destiny?

Zhuge Changqing tells us, based on practice, how fast or slow the induction will be.

Depending on the karma of each person's past lives and the time of release, the time of induction can be fast or slow.

For example, if a person's ancestors have done a lot of good deeds, have few karmic obstacles, and have killed and eaten little meat, he or she may have an induction after only one release; if a person's ancestors have many bad deeds, have many karmic obstacles, and have killed and eaten a lot of meat, he or she may have an induction only after many releases.

However, there is one thing that Zhuge Changqing must explain to you is that as long as you insist on releasing raw materials, "as fast as three days, as long as three months, as slow as three years", you will definitely have an induction.

Zhuge Changqing release formula: the day the merit of release is greater than the karma and sin, is the good fate, good fortune, we must have faith, patience.

Amitabha Buddha, do not do evil, practice all good deeds, be persistent and have your requests answered!

In order for those who are fortunate to learn how to let go, Zhuge Changqing has combined the wisdom of the great virtues and sages of the past and present to compile this simple ritual for you. It is for the use of those who are fortunate.

Part III Preparation for Release and Precautions 

I. Preparation before the release

Zhuge Changqing reminds all the karmic people: it is very important to make all the preparations in advance before the release, so that you will not be panicked, organized and relaxed.

1, to examine the release site in advance.

To release a living creature, you should release it into a clean environment, suitable for survival, away from the crowd, and generally not caught by others (mountain forests, lakes and reservoirs, rivers, etc.), otherwise they will be subject to secondary harm.

Zhuge Changqing reminds those who are lucky enough to have them that it is best to inspect the release site in advance, otherwise it will be very difficult and stressful for you to find the release site after you have bought the living creatures, and it will be a bumpy injury to the living creatures.

Zhuge Changqing advises people to examine before releasing the living creatures: where to release them? Is the release site safe? If the place of release is a river, lake or sea, is it clean and pollution-free? If it is a mountainous area, is it densely forested and so on. It is important to investigate carefully to avoid buying and releasing in a hurry.

For example, some people buy fish and hastily release them into polluted water or very shallow pools, resulting in those fish suffering again; some people put animals near villages, resulting in them suffering the fate of being caught again.

2. Don't book with traders, it's better to go to the market, supermarket or roadside and "buy at random". Don't make reservations with vendors in advance to buy and release animals, as this can result in artificial capture. If you order in advance, some people will deliberately catch and sell them, which is tantamount to indirect killing, and also tends to form an industrial chain of catching and selling, resulting in more sinful karma. It is recommended that when buying, go quietly to the market, supermarkets, roadsides and other places to buy those turtles, fish, loaches, frogs, birds, snakes, earthworms and other beings that are about to be bought by others.

3. When buying, try to haggle over the price. According to the practice verification of those who have released their lives, try to bargain on the price, it is not a matter of being careful, but using the same funds can buy more lives to be released.

4. If you have love, money and ability, you can set up life release ponds and life release mountains.

Amitabha. Zhuge Changqing believes that those who have love, money and ability can lease and buy a mountain, lease and buy some lakes and reservoirs, and then change that mountain and those lakes and reservoirs into life release mountains and life release pools, and set up several stone monuments with Amitabha Buddha and life release pools engraved on them, and so on.

5. Those who are in a position to do so and have the ability to do so can simply buy out those farmers so that they no longer farm. If you find that there are farmers (such as fish, foxes, turtles, scorpions, crabs and other farmers), do not want to continue farming, and you have the conditions and ability, you can buy their farm animals released at once, so that the merit is very great. Not only does it have the merit of releasing the animals, but it also allows the farmer to avoid continuing to kill.

6, release of life regardless of money, money can be carried out, the key is sincere and honest.

The key to releasing life is to see one's sincere heart.

Zhuge Changqing believes that the release of life is carried out according to their own economic situation. Those with more money should release more, while those with less money should release less. Even if you only have a dollar, you can still release some small fish and so on.

Depending on your financial situation, you can do a small release or a big release.

A small release: this is a weekly or monthly release of a certain amount of money (you can choose Saturday or Sunday, so that the time is more relaxed).

Big release: This is to release a large amount of money according to your financial situation in order to achieve your goals, your family's health and to extend the life of your parents. No matter how big or small the release is, as long as you are persistent, you will have great blessings.

7. If you have an emergency, your children's education, or need to recover from a serious illness, you can immediately release a large sum of money, which will have an immediate effect.

Zhuge Changqing believes that if the economic conditions are good, you can put more money into the big release, it will have an immediate effect!

Practice has proven that a one-time release of life is a great blessing and has a miraculous effect!

Second, how to carry out the release?

Zhuge Changqing believes that there are three types of life-release methods: "self-release, entrust others to release, collective release", all three are equally meritorious. It is up to you to choose whether you want to do a group release or an individual release.

1, you can release the life yourself. If you have the conditions and time, you can release your own life. Zhuge Changqing believes that the release of their own life, not only fast, good results, and can experience the release of life after the joy, happy, moving feelings. It is recommended that you release your own life often.

2. You can commission a release. If you don't have the time or the convenience, you can entrust the release.

(1) What is a commissioned release? If you are busy or inconvenienced in the city, you can give the money for the release to a nearby release organisation or an online release organisation to do it for you. (You can do a search on the internet to see if they publish the amount of the donation and if they have photos of the release).

Ask them to do the release on your behalf. When you ask them to do the release on your behalf, you should also do your own rewards.

(2) You should also make a return to the person who commissioned the release. It is recommended that the person entrusted with the release should do the same twice.

Once when you make a donation and return it to yourself.

When you know the time of their release, you should also do it again.

3) You can participate in life release organizations. If there is a local organization that organizes life release activities, you can join a life release organization, local Buddhist association, etc. Zhuge Changqing reminded that many people are now organizing mass releases. The problem is that the release rituals are not very consistent. In particular, many life release organizations do not return to individual debtors, etc. Therefore, those who participate in collective life release can first participate in the collective ceremony, and after it is over, they give themselves back individually, remembering to return to their own and their family's unjust debtors, sentient beings from suffering and happiness immediately, and at the same time to return to their own health and other goals.

Where should I release my life?

Zhuge Changqing once again reminds that it is important to examine the location of the release in advance. For example, some people buy fish and hastily release them into polluted water or very shallow pools, resulting in those fish suffering again and suffering the fate of being caught.

Choose a place that is "far away from humans, clean and tidy, and convenient for animals to live". For example, snakes, foxes and birds can be placed in the mountains, while turtles and fish should be placed in places with water sources where they are not easily caught.

2. The place of release must be clean. For example, the water source must be clean, otherwise it will cause harm to them.

3. Remember to keep away from crowds. Zhuge Changqing reminded those who have the karma: it is best to choose a place away from the crowd to release, so that it is considered to "save lives and save the end", otherwise it may be "you released in the morning, others caught in the afternoon", will hurt them.

Fourth, the release of doubt a few reminders

Zhuge Changqing: This is a lot of people often to Zhuge Changqing teacher questions several issues, here a unified explanation.

1, the release of life should be in line with the ritual. In particular, it is important to pray to your own and your family's unjust relatives, possessed beings, sentient beings, ancestors, aborted babies, orphaned spirits, etc. to be released from suffering and to be reborn immediately.

2. Familiarise yourself with the rituals of releasing living beings. It is best to repeatedly recite and rehearse the rituals before releasing them, and it is better to release them after you have become proficient. If you are not familiar with it at first, you can print it out (copy it) and carry it with you, and recite it when you release the living. After doing a few more releases, you will be familiar with reciting it.

3, the ritual recitation can be flexible. Release rituals are generally recited at the release site, if it is not convenient, you can do the rituals at home, in the car, on the road, to the release site directly release.

If the road is far away to prevent the animal from dying or in case of emergency, you can release the animal first and do the rituals later; after the release, you can add the release rituals again, with the same merits! You can also do the rituals at home or in the car, and then go to the release site to release the animals directly, if you have time, you can do the rituals on site.

4、If you are deaf and dumb, you can release your life. As long as the sincerity of the chanting, no sound can also be made, the same merit.

5、Which is more meritorious, the release by oneself, the group release or the entrusted release? All three are equally meritorious. If you have time, it is best to go to the release in person, you can do the ritual at the release site.

6、What should I do if I find that some of the fish and birds I bought have died? Zhuge Changqing: Don't be anxious about this situation. If you find that the released animals have passed away on the road or at the release site, it means that their karma has come to an end and you can recite the ritual together with the living animals. At the end of the release, pray to them individually for their release from suffering and immediate rebirth. Then, according to the method of "each one in his own place", they are placed. Those in water are placed in water, those on land are buried in the earth. If you know how to do almsgiving, you can invoke them once afterwards.

Part Four: Zhuge Changqing's Five Steps to Life Release Rituals

Zhuge Changqing recommends that those who are lucky enough to learn the five steps to releasing a living being should recite them by heart.

If you are a first-time student, you can read these five steps over and over again and simulate them a few times. Then print out (or copy down) the Five Steps, or watch them on your mobile phone, and recite them as you see fit. Release them several times in a row and you will be familiar with reciting them.

*Prepare in advance.

1. Consider in advance the time and place of the release, the place where you will buy the animal, etc.

2. Do not recite the Buddha's Dao at markets and fairs where animals are bought, as there are many sentient beings in those places and reciting it will disturb them. This will cause obstacles.

3. Immediately after buying an animal, say "Namo Amitabha Buddha. The Buddha of Immeasurable Blessings. I want to release you, you have to live well" good thoughts (can be out loud, can also be silent chanting), until the release location.

4、On the way to the release site, you can silently recite the Buddha's name, the Bodhisattva's name and the Tao's name, with the intention that the Buddha's light will shine on the released creatures and bless them with good health.

5、If the location is far away, you can finish the ritual at home or on the way to the release site (in the car), so that you can save time and release the creatures directly when you arrive at the location.

Zhuge Changqing release rituals five steps specific rituals (simple and convenient 5 steps).

   Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha Buddha. The purpose of releasing living beings is to save them, so it should be simple and convenient, not too complicated. This avoids causing harm to the living beings and helps them to get survival. It is recommended that five steps are sufficient.

Step 1: Chant the Buddha's Taoist name and say who you are.

Zhuge Changqing: Intend that the divine light of the Buddha shine on yourself and on the animal life.

According to Zhuge Changqing, saying who you are before releasing the animals can quickly communicate with the Buddhist and divine realms, so that Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and good deities will know who you are and give blessing and protection to help you quickly eliminate karmic obstacles, bestow blessings, promote fruitfulness and change your fate.

1. Make a sound and chant the Buddha's name in gratitude (Zhuge Changqing: join your hands and chant each one 3-10 times over. The purpose is to ask for the blessing and blessing of the Buddha and to give sincere thanks).

Namo Shakyamuni Buddha. Namo Amitabha Buddha.

Namo Buddha of the Eastern Glazed Medicine Buddha. Namo Maitreya Buddha. Namo Namo Baobun Rulai.

Namo Kuan Shi Yin Bodhisattva. Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Namo Vairocana Bodhisattva. Namo Ksitigarbha, the Bodhisattva of the Removal of Covered Obstacles.

2. Make a sound and chant the Daoist name with thanksgiving (Zhuge Changqing: join your hands and chant each one 3-10 times. The purpose of the chanting is to ask the good deity to protect and bless and to give sincere thanks)

Fusheng Wuqiantianzong. Heavenly Father Yuan Shi. Spiritual Treasure. Dao De Tian Zun.

Taiyi Heavenly Father of Suffering. Tai Shang Lao Jun. Jade Emperor. Queen Mother.

Dragon King God. God of the City. God of the Land. God of the Mountain. The God of Water.

All the gods and goddesses of the three realms and ten directions.

Zhuge Changqing: Why should I recite the Buddha's and Taoist names?

Because the release of life is not only blessed by the Buddha and Bodhisattvas, but also by the good gods. The chanting is to show gratitude from the heart. All Buddhist scriptures and teachings are protected by the protectors of the Dharma. The World Honoured One, Shakyamuni Buddha, also often praises the good deities in the Earth Store Sutra and other Buddhist scriptures. Gratitude is the most beautiful language for human beings. Apart from his own efforts and the help of Sun Wukong, Pig Bajie, Sha Monk and White Dragon Horse, the success of the Tang Monk in the West was very much due to the blessings of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and the good deities. In order to help the Tang monk, Sun Wukong often asked the Jade Emperor, Yuan Shi Tianzun, Ling Bao Tianzun, Daode Tianzun (Tai Shang Lao Jun), Taiyi Tianzhu, Nezha, the dragon god, the thunder god, the wind god, the 28 star gods, the city god, the mountain god, the land god and the four gods of merit to help him. Likewise, releasing a child cannot be done without the blessing of all the good gods. We should be grateful to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and the good gods.

3. "Meditate" on who you are and where you are releasing the life (fold your hands).

You can silently recite: disciple ***, once used the name *** (if there was a former name ***, such as changed the name also say), Dharma name *** (if you can not name need not say), * year * month * day (lunar birthday), born in ** province ** city ** city ** county ** town ** village (city people say city birthplace), now * city * city * place in * province * work ** (position), today in * province He is now working in **(position) at **(place) in **(district) of **(city).

Teacher Zhuge Changqing reminds those who are fortunate enough to know the time and place of their birth during the meditation that they can leave it out and just say their name and where they live now. If you have adopted someone else as your child, you should say your original name and current name and other basic information.

Step 2: Recite the penitential verse (ji) (make a sound and recite it 3 times. (Hands together, facing the living soul)

All the evil karma created in the past was caused by greed, anger and dullness from the beginning.

All the evil karma created in the past is the result of beginningless greed, anger, and hatred, and is born of the body, speech, and mind.

Zhuge Changqing: Recite this repentance verse, both for yourself and for the living creatures.

Step 3: Recite the three conversions and the two enlightenments (make a sound and recite 3 times. (Hands together, facing the living creatures).

Amitabha Buddha. The Buddha of Immeasurable Blessings. Greetings to all living creatures (if they are fish, turtles, etc., you may say so directly), we are here today to release the living creatures.

1. Now I will "recite the three conversions" (Zhuge Changqing: recite 3-10 times.) The three conversions (Zhuge Changqing: recite gui yi) are.

"Convert to the Buddha, convert to the Dharma and convert to the Sangha. Converting to the Buddha does not lead to hell, converting to the Dharma does not lead to the hungry ghosts, converting to the monks does not lead to the animals."

2. Now I give you "two words of enlightenment".

The first sentence: You must eat vegetarianism and do good deeds. After releasing you this time, it is a new beginning for you. I hope you will be kind, eat vegetarianism and do good deeds, do not kill and eat meat, do not do evil deeds and do not harm other living beings. I hope you will live well and not be harmed or caught by people.

Second sentence: You should chant the Buddha's Dao more often. By releasing the living beings today, you have heard the Dharma of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. All the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and good deities have come to protect you. You can become Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and gods in the future.

If you wish to become Buddhas in the future, you can concentrate on chanting "Amitabha Buddha" or "Guanyin Bodhisattva or Earth Store Bodhisattva". If you wish to become a deity or be reborn as a human being in the future, you can concentrate on "Jade Emperor, Queen Mother" or "Tai Shang Lao Jun". If you keep chanting, you will achieve your goal in the future. (Chant 3 times)

Step 4: Chant the Buddha's name and the Taoist name to release the living.

Zhuge Changqing: Chant the Buddha's name and the Taoist name, with the intention of the Buddha's light and divine light shining to bless you and the animal's life (make a sound, chant 1-10 times. You can chant more if you like. You may also chant as many as you like).

Chanting while releasing life.

1. Chant: Namo Siddhartha Gautama Buddha. Namo Amitabha Buddha. Namo Kuan Shi Yin Bodhisattva. Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Fusheng Infinite Heavenly Father. Tai Shang Laojun. Jade Emperor. God of the City. God of the Land. Queen Mother. Dragon God. God of Water. God of Goodness.

2. Imagine: Buddha, Bodhisattva and the Good God shining white and coloured light above you and the animals, with the intention that they are protected by the Buddha's light and the God's light and live well and not be harmed. Then just let go of the animal's life directly.

Step 5: Return the blessing (silently in your mind, without making a sound) -

Zhuge Changqing: After releasing the animal life, proceed to return to the direction (silently recite 1-3 times with hands joined.)

First, the general return: that is, the general return to yourself and your family. For example.

1. Return to.

To all my "unjust relatives, possessed beings, karmic spirits, relatives of my family, ancestors, aborted babies, orphaned spirits, etc." to be free from suffering and happiness and to leave the world.

To my father***mother***husband (wife)***son (daughter)*** all "unjust relatives, possessed beings, karmic spirits, ancestors of past generations, aborted babies, orphan spirits, etc." to be free from suffering and to be immediately reborn.

I wish that I and my family members will be in good health, have a prosperous career, have a harmonious family, have all our wishes fulfilled, and have all our wishes fulfilled.

2. To the elimination of the sins of killing, stealing, evil prostitution, two tongues, bad language, flowery language, delusional language, greed for money, sex, fame and profit, anger and anger, stupidity and foolishness, slander of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, slander of gods and immortals, slander of sages and slander of monks, etc. for me and my family. "I and my whole family can also pay tribute to the sins of the infernal hell, the hell of shit and urine, the hell of floods and the hell of fire.

3. To me and my family for believing in Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, for doing good deeds, for benefiting society, for abstaining from killing and releasing animals, for not eating fish, meat, seafood and other kinds of meat (hn) dishes, and for eating only grains and cereals and vegetarian vegetables.

4. To all sentient beings in the Void and in the Dharma Realm, to hear the Dharma, Taoism and Confucianism as soon as possible, to become enlightened and wise, to see the nature of the mind, to attain Bodhi, to attain Buddhahood, to be free from suffering and to be immediately reborn.

The second is directed back to the Buddha: it means directed back to your own situation.

If there is any wish you can target back to, if there is no particular wish, then just simply return to it. For example.

Return to all the wrongdoers in my body, all the wrongdoers I have killed, hurt or eaten, and all the sentient beings who are free from suffering and immediately reborn. For example: Returning to my own aborted babies, pigs, cows, dogs, sheep, snakes, fish, pigs, dogs, turtles and other living creatures that I have killed, harmed, cheated and eaten, to be free from suffering and to be immediately reborn.

Zhuge Changqing: If you have any wishes, you can return them directly, without being too many or too chaotic.

You can stop until your wish is fulfilled. For example, if you have any family conflicts, marital obstructions, career obstacles, physical illnesses, etc., you can make a special separate return. 

Reminder: If you have a major illness or emergency, you should make a big release and make a separate special return. Do not add any other rewards.   

For example, if you wish to "seek marriage", you can make a special return to all those who are blocking your marriage, such as "unjust relatives, possessed beings, karmic spirits, ancestors, aborted babies, orphaned spirits", so that they can be free from suffering and be reborn immediately. I wish myself a good marriage and a good wife who is kind-hearted and caring.

For example, if a couple often quarrels, you can offer a targeted tribute to the "wrongdoers, possessed beings, karmic spirits, ancestors, aborted babies and ghosts" who caused the quarrel, so that they can be free from suffering and immediately reborn. To pray for the love of husband and wife, family harmony and happiness.

For example, if you are seeking to conceive a child, you can pray for the immediate release from suffering and happiness of all those who have prevented you from conceiving a child, and for the early birth of a A healthy, intelligent and lovely baby.

For example, if your mother is suffering from leg pain, you may wish to pray to all those who have caused your mother's leg pain, such as "unjust relatives, possessed beings, karmic spirits, ancestors, spirits of aborted babies, orphan spirits, etc.", to be free from suffering and to be reborn immediately. I wish my mother a speedy recovery from her leg problems and a long and healthy life.

For example, if your child is not studying well, you can pray to all the "wrongdoers, possessed beings, karmic spirits, ancestors, aborted babies, orphaned spirits, etc." who are responsible for your child's poor learning to be free from suffering and to be reborn immediately. The children are encouraged to listen carefully in class, study well and get good grades every day.

Thirdly, dream rewards. This is for your own dreams and those of your family. If you and your family members have nightmares or dreams in which someone asks for help, add to the rejoinder that you wish all the "unjust relatives, possessed beings, karmic spirits, ancestors, aborted babies, orphaned spirits, etc." in your dreams to be free from suffering and to be reborn immediately. There is no need to return auspicious dreams.

Zhuge Changqing advises that whether or not you have a dream, you can generally pray to all the relatives and related spirits in the dream to be free from suffering and to be reborn immediately.

1. Bad dreams: dreams of people or animals attacking you, etc. are generally unjust relatives who come to collect debts, and you should add them when you return. For example, if you have ever dreamt of a woman chasing you or a dog biting you, you can add: "To the woman and the dog that appeared in your dream, to be free from suffering and to be immediately reborn. Mentally chant 3 times and end. Continuously releasing the rebirth 3 times will do.

2. Dreams of help: dreams of tortoises and carp being killed, dreams of carp etc. turning into people and asking you for help, etc. are usually dreams of tortoises and carp with a spiritual nature asking you for help. You need to go to a nearby market immediately and find that the ones jumping at you in anxiety are those that are recreated in your dreams. Some are dreams of deceased relatives dressed in rags or lashing out at you, asking for help, etc. You have to add a separate return 3 times when you return. Continuously releasing the rebate 3 times is fine.

3. Auspicious dreams: dreams of flowers, fruits, train rides, plane rides, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, gods and goddesses, happy and cheerful people, carp dancing, divine dragons flying, etc. These are all auspicious dreams. There is no need to add back to it.

Zhuge Changqing advises: whether or not you have a dream, you can generally send back to all the sentient beings in your dream who have been wronged to be immediately reborn free from suffering.

After these five steps have been completed, the release of life will be fully completed.

Part V. Induction of Life Release and Related Notes 

I. The induction of releasing life.

Each person will have different induction after releasing a life.

1. Thankful dreams. You may dream of the turtles, birds and animals you have released to thank you. Some of them are animal images, while others may turn into old people, women, men and children.

2. Blessed induction. You will become physically healthy, happy, have a harmonious family, be rich, have a happy marriage, have a soaring career, have good personnel, etc.

3. Helpful dreams. You keep releasing good deeds and your body has Buddha's divine light, many dragons, fish, birds, turtle fairies and snake fairies with divine powers will give you dreams and ask you for help. For example, you dream of a woman saying that she is a fish and needs to ask for help; you dream of a fish saying that you are asked to rescue it; you dream of a snake turning into an old man asking for help, etc. Whenever you dream of it, you should rush to the nearby market or the place you often go to buy things and buy and release them immediately by telepathy. Zhuge Changqing will publish similar articles in the future.

4, felony light retribution induction. Some people continue to release life, there is a river fall, a minor collision and so on, this is "heavy sins and light retribution", the omen to resolve the major sins. This normal mind, remember to do good deeds will have blessings, will eliminate major sins.

Secondly, it is recommended to stay on site for a while after the release.

Zhuge Changqing suggests: after the release, if you have time, you can stay at the scene for a while and recite "Namo Amitabha Buddha", "Fusheng Wuqiantianzong", "Dragon King God", etc. You can also recite the "Namo Amitabha Buddha", "The Supreme Spirit of Blessed Life" and "Dragon King God". You can also recite the Heart Sutra at the site of the release (depending on the situation, you can recite whatever you like).

Why do this?  

1. Chanting the Buddha's Dao has an empowering effect on the living creatures. While chanting the Buddha's Dao, mentally think of the released beings and bless them from being harmed and living well. If you release a living being more than 3 times and chant the Buddha's name for a long time at the release site, you will find that the released things will have a magical reflection, such as turtles, loaches good fish, etc., will usually surface, or swim to the shore to climb to the shore, or raise their heads to look at you and leave with a fondness ....... If you have a nembutsu machine, you can wear it to the river and add your blessing to the release process.

Check out this video where the released loach and eel come back to thank the releaser.

  https://weibo.com/tv/v/J020Ruugn?fid=1034:4500076509462556

2、Protect the role of the released spirit. Zhuge Changqing verified that many beings, after being released, would stay on site and not leave to express their gratitude. At this time, take the initiative to chase them away to prevent capture. If the released beings do not want to leave, you have to wave your hand and say: Go away, for your betterment, go away. Only then will they go away reluctantly ...... If it is a fish, it will sometimes flood the waves to express its gratitude.

3. Prevent the site from being captured. Release practice verifies that some turtles and others will come crawling to shore to express their gratitude to the releaser, only to be caught by people passing by. If you stay for a while, you can prevent some people from going to the release site and catching them artificially, causing them to suffer again.

Thirdly, what should I do if I find any dead living creatures when I release them?

Zhuge Changqing: Whenever you release a living creature, whether it is alive or dead, you will have great blessings.

1. It does not matter if you have bought a living creature and it is dead when you arrive at the place of release, you have no sinful karma, only blessings and merits. Because you bought it so that it would avoid being killed and eaten, you have preserved its body. Furthermore, by chanting the Buddha's name and the Taoist name to him and giving him the three conversions, you can enable him to quickly plant the seeds of Buddhahood.

2. If you see a released living being die, you can give them three conversions and recite "Namo Baobun Rama" (Baobun is pronounced bojì) three times, and they will be transcended instantly. You should note that if an animal dies while being released, the person releasing it will still have infinite merit and virtue, because you have saved it and given it a transcendence, giving them the opportunity to leave the three evil paths and planting the seeds of Buddhahood, and when the animal dies, it has already been transcended and can enter the three good paths.

3. Put them into the water or the land according to their living attributes.

If it is a life in water, it can be put directly into the water.

If they are on land or flying in the sky, you can find a place to bury them. This has great merit!

4. Usually bury more dead roadside animals. Zhuge Changqing suggests that if you come across dead birds, chickens and dogs on the road, you can recite "Namo Amitabha Buddha, Namo Baobun Rudra", give them three conversions and so on, and then bury them, which is very meritorious.

Fourth, if you usually find someone fishing, fishing can be recited Namo Baosheng Rulai

Zhuge Changqing: If you see someone fishing for fish, turtles and birds, just recite "Namo Baosheng Rulai", (Namo is pronounced na mo) and the catcher will never get anything. The Buddha and the Bodhisattva's good deity will protect the living creatures.

When you recite "Namo Pao Sheng Rulai", a protector deity will immediately come to your aid, either by making the fisher's mind blank and unable to catch, or by making it impossible to catch because of the wind and rain in the sky and earth, or by the sudden appearance of others who interfere with the fisher. It is very effective and must be remembered.

Five, it is recommended that at the same time do "Zhuge Changqing five in one".

Zhuge Changqing researched traditional Chinese culture and put forward the "five in one" approach based on the wisdom of the sages (repentance, food giving, life release, chanting and vegetarianism). The five in one will bring about a miraculous change of fortune. You can read more articles such as "The Secret Method of Changing Destiny: The Secret Method of Five-in-One Luck Change" and "The Wisdom of Nationalism: Filial Piety and Respect for Teachers + Five-in-One + Self-improvement".

Zhuge Changqing wishes all those who have released raw materials all over the world: the blessings of Buddha and Bodhisattvas, the blessings of the good gods of heaven and earth, good health, good fortune, good wishes, happy families, soaring careers and prosperity forever!

   Amitabha Buddha. Do not do evil, but practice all good deeds. Be persistent and answer all your requests. 

阿弥陀佛。

福生无量天尊。

放生，福报巨大，感应巨大。

放生，不仅可以挽救生命，还可以积累功德，改变命运，促进福报。

放生的好处很多，可以改变命运，让人心想事成、万事如意。

诸葛长青认为：定期拿出一部分钱去放生，你会收获不可思议的感应。因为你不仅挽救了面临屠宰的生命，也积累了深厚的阴德福报……

有因必有果，由舍才有得……

持续放生，可以促进好姻缘、好工作、好事业、子女好成绩，提升福报、开悟智慧、加速修行……一切都会有求必应。  

放生的好处很多，可以改变命运，让人心想事成、万事如意。

我国明代著名的憨山大师说，放生有十五种功德与利益：

一是放生合天心。二是放生顺佛意。三是放生免三灾。

四是放生离九横。五是放生寿命长。六是放生官禄盛。

七是放生子孙昌。八是放生家门庆。九是放生无忧恼。

十是放生少疾病。十一是放生解冤结。十二是放生罪垢净。

十三是放生观音慈。十四是放生普贤行。十五是放生结善缘。

为了方便有缘者快速学会放生，诸葛长青决定根据古今佛菩萨、善神、圣贤、历代高僧大德、真君高人的经验、在家居士的心得以及放生实践经验，编辑完善一个“简单方便、一看就懂、一学就会”的放生仪规。

下面，诸葛长青将这个仪规完整地呈现给各位有缘者。

第一部分放生缘起 

阿弥陀佛。

福生无量天尊。

自古以来，中华民族有仁义慈悲之心。

中华大地，处处都有放生行善者的足迹。

人类始祖伏羲女娲给人类留下“自强不息、厚德载物”就是提醒人类多做善事。

儒家圣人孔子、道家圣人老子、佛家圣人释迦牟尼佛等都主张行善积德、戒杀放生、造福社会。

放生，就是挽救生命，就是保护自然，就是积累福报。

放生，就是化解业障、就是超度债主、就是改变命运、就是吉祥如意。

放生，就是布施，就是“财布施、法布施、无畏布施”三位一体同时进行，持续放生，可以心想事成、万事如意、促进果报。

不论是求财富、求富贵、求子女、求长寿、求成佛等等，都可以通过多多放生来实现。

诸葛长青研究古今儒释道文化发现，古往今来，很多佛教高僧大德、道教高人、儒家圣贤，都吃素行善、放生救命，留下了许多感人故事。

放生功德巨大，福报巨大。

诸葛长青在国学智慧改命运“五合一”方法（忏悔、施食、放生、念诵、吃素）、《放生文化》等文章和专辑中做过多次讲述。

一、什么是放生？

诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。福生无量天尊。放生就是将那些生命垂危、面临被宰杀、被吃掉、被贩卖等危险情况的生灵（鱼、泥鳅、乌龟、青蛙、鸟、蛇、狐狸、蚯蚓、蝎子、人等）立刻放生的行为。

救人一命胜造七级浮屠。放生是直接解救生命、积累功德的大善事。

阿弥陀佛。福生无量天尊。众生最宝贵的就是自己的生命。我们放生，不仅救了他们的生命，同时也给他们种下成佛的种子，救了他们的慧命，所以他们感激最深，你的功德福报最大。

二、放生的经典出处有哪些？

诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。福生无量天尊。累劫以来，人类根据善恶因果在“天道、人道、阿修罗道、畜生道、饿鬼道、地狱道”等六道轮回中不断变换，古今许多儒释道经典、古今儒释道圣贤都倡导放生。这里摘录部分经典对放生的开示。

《大智度论》说放生：诸余罪中，杀业最重。诸功德中，放生第一。

《药师琉璃光本愿功德经》说放生：放诸生命……病得除愈，众难解脱。放生修福……令度苦厄，不遭众难。

《十善业道经》说放生：离杀生者成就十种离恼法。

《华严经.普贤行愿品》说放生：众生至爱者身命，诸佛至爱者众生，能救众生身命，则能成就诸佛心愿。
《梵网经》说放生：佛子！若自杀、教人杀、方便杀、赞叹杀，见作随喜，乃至咒杀。杀因、杀缘、杀法、杀业。乃至一切有命者，不得故杀。是菩萨应起常住慈悲心、孝顺心，方便救护一切众生，而反恣心快意杀生者，是菩萨婆罗夷罪。

《梵网经》说放生：若佛子！以慈心故，行放生业，一切男子是我父，一切女人是我母，我生生无不从之受生，故六道众生皆是我父母，而杀而食者，即杀我父母，亦杀我故身，一切地水是我先身，一切火风是我本体，故常行放生，生生受生，常住之法，教人放生。若见世人杀畜生时，应方便救护，解其苦难。
《契经》说放生：戒杀放生，得长寿报，又戒杀放生，可解怨释结，长养悲心，润菩提种。

《佛为首迦长者说业报差别经》说放生：有十业能令众生得长命报：一者，自不杀生；二者，劝他不杀；三者，赞叹不杀；四者，见他不杀，心生欢喜；五者，见被杀者，方便救免；六者，见死怖者，安慰其心；七者，见恐怖者，施与无畏；八者，见诸患苦之人，起慈愍心；九者，见诸急难之人，起大悲心；十者，以诸饮食惠施众生。

《佛灭度后棺敛葬送经》说放生：当遵慈仁。普惠恩及群生，视天下群生身命，若己身命，慈济悲愍，恕己安彼，道喜开化，护彼若身，润逮草木，无虚机绝也。
《金光明经•流水长者子品》说放生：流水长者子（世尊释迦牟尼佛前世）救起濒死之鱼，与之水、食，为其解说大乘经典，诸鱼闻经后，皆生忉利天。

《杂宝藏经》说：一沙弥因救起漂流水中之诸蚁子，而得长命之果报。

《楞伽阿跋多罗宝经》说放生：不应食肉。

弥勒菩萨说：劝君勤放生，终久得长寿，若发菩提心，大难天须救。 

《列子·说符篇》说放生:正旦放生，示有恩也。

《道德经》说：上天无私，常与善人。

《易经》说：积善之家必有余庆，积不善之家必有余殃。

《太上感应篇》指出，人应当行善积德，“祸福无门，惟人自召”。所谓善人，人皆敬之，天道佑之，福禄随之，众邪远之，神灵卫之；所作必成，神仙可冀。夫心起于善，善虽未为，而吉神已随之；或心起于恶，恶虽未为，而凶神已随之。其有曾行恶事，后自改悔，诸恶莫作，众善奉行，久久必获吉庆；所谓转祸为福也。故吉人语善、视善、行善，一日有三善，三年天必降之福。凶人语恶、视恶、行恶，一日有三恶，三年天必降之祸。胡不勉而行之？

诸葛长青：持续放生，就是种下富贵吉祥、万事如意的因缘，就是种下福慧双修、成就果报的因缘。

三、高僧大德与放生

诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。福生无量天尊。古往今来，许多圣贤、名人都是放生的赞叹者、实践者、传播者。佛祖释迦牟尼佛有一世轮回专门以放生为主。   

志公禅师说放生:放生功德不可限量。经云：蠢动含灵，皆有佛性，只因迷妄因缘，遂使升沉各别，以渠生死轮回互为六亲眷属，改头换面不复相识。若能发喜舍心，起慈悲念；赎命放生者，现世保病延生，未来当证菩提。

慧能大师亲自放生：禅宗六祖慧能大师,曾隐居于猎户群中。猎人交待大师守网，大师慈悲为怀，见被擒被抓的狼獐鹿兔等等猎物，莫不设法为之放生，这样放生放了十六年，救活的物命不可胜数，并且感动了猎户，放下屠刀，改行向善。后大师坐曹溪道场，大兴禅宗，道播神州。

寒山与拾得说放生：寒山问:“放生可成佛否?”答曰:“诸佛无心，惟以爱物为心。人能救物之苦，即能成就诸佛心愿矣。故一念慈悲，救一物命，是一念观世音也。日日放生则慈悲日日增长，久久不息则念念流入观世音大慈悲海矣。我心即是佛心，焉得不成佛乎!故知放生因缘，非小善之所能比。凡我同愿，宜广行劝勉，善令群生同归悲化。”

慈云大师放生：慈云大师（遵氏大师）晚年主持杭州昭庆,灵山等寺,讲经弘法,宋真宗赐号“慈云”,大师曾以天台智者大师放生的故事,告诉州判王钦若,并请他奏准以西湖为放生池,获朝廷准许,下令西湖为放生池,禁止一切渔获捕猎,重现智者大师时代放生风范。诸葛长青：西湖的来历为放生池。

佛印禅师放生：贪他一脔脔还他，古圣留言终不伪。戒杀念佛兼放生，决到西方上品会。（诸葛长青：脔，luán，意思是“切成小块的肉”）

蕅益大师说放生:杀生即杀自心、未来诸佛，放生即放自心、未来诸佛，若放自心、未来诸佛，即真念佛三昧，修此念佛三昧，是恒转法华经百千万亿部也。

莲池大师说放生：疾病之由，多从杀生中来，故偏重放生也。戒杀之众，善神守护，灾横消除，寿算绵长，子孙贤孝，吉祥种种，难可具陈。若更随力放生，加持念佛，不但增崇福德，必当随愿往生，永脱轮回，入不退地。世间至重者生命，天下最惨者杀伤。放生非独佛教，儒中君子无不奉行。

忏云大师说放生:丙申春云卧病冈山，经久不愈。医药治疗，营养滋补，静摄调护，悉皆罔效，身心苦闷，不知所措，嗣承净业道侣慈悲劝谕，谓若提倡放生，与众行之当得早占勿药云云，云遂依劝言，先自放生，并向诸方提倡，经时不久，顽强痼疾霍然痊愈。诸葛长青：放生可以促进疾病康复。这是忏云大师亲自验证放生治病的故事。

谛闲大师说放生：不杀为诸戒之首，而放生为众善之先也。

印光大师说放生:一切生物，佛皆视之如子，救一物命，即是救佛一子，诸佛皆大欢喜。须知放生原为戒杀，戒杀必从吃素始。倘人各戒杀，人各吃素，则家习慈善，人敦礼义。俗美风淳，时和年丰。何至有刀兵劫起，彼此相戕之事乎?此挽回天灾人祸，正本清源之要务也!凡有欲家门清泰，身心康宁，天下太平，人民安乐者。请皆于戒杀、放生、吃素、念佛中求之，则求无不得矣! 诸葛长青：六道轮回，真实不虚。

圆瑛大师说放生：至论护生一事，佛儒二教，若合符节。我佛以大慈大悲而为救世之本，大慈者，与一切众生之乐，大悲者，拔一切众生之苦。吾人当学佛之大慈大悲，实行戒杀放生，方是学佛之行。是以学佛者，不仅持律戒杀，尤当竭力放生，方合我佛慈悲宗旨。儒教《周易》有言，乾曰大生，坤曰广生，天地之大德曰生，故孔子赞易以生生。吾人应体天地好生之德，提倡戒杀放生。希望社幷会诸君，勉力行之，即遇寿辰、结婚、生子，是自己求生，庆生吉祥之事，均宜戒杀放生茹素，以善因而求善果也。

虚云老和尚说放生：戒杀放生,将十恶转为十善,不要一天到晚酒肉熏天,造无边的罪业。世界人民遭难，杀劫之重，皆是果报所遭；每每劝世人要戒杀放生，吃斋念佛者，也就是要大家免遭因果轮回之报；诸位须当信奉,种植善因,成就佛果。

弘一大师说放生:放生，是积德造福解灾，改变命运的极好办法。惟愿诸君自今以后，力行放生之事，痛改杀生之事。   

诸葛长青：放生功德不可思议、福报巨大、功德巨大。定期拿出一部分钱去放生，你会收获不可思议的感应，求一个好姻缘、好身体、好事业、子女好成绩……一切都会有求必应。你不仅挽救了面临屠宰的生命，也积累了深厚的阴德福报……有因必有果，有舍才有得。

佛家说，放生具有第一功德、享受无限福报。

放生好处很多，有缘者可以持续放生，持之以恒、有求必应。

第二部分  放生行善改变命运的秘密 

阿弥陀佛。

福生无量天尊。

持续放生，有求必应，可以迅速改变命运。

为什么这么说呢？

诸葛长青告诉有缘者，放生者改变命运有三个原因：

一是放生行为惊天动地。诸葛长青研究实践认为，由于放生是直接解救生命，而且放生同时具备“财布施、法布施、无畏布施”三大善举，因此功德巨大、影响巨大。当你放生的时候，天地之间一切佛菩萨、善神都会立刻感知你的行善之为。

譬如：南无本师释迦牟尼佛。南无阿弥陀佛。南无东方琉璃药师佛。南无弥勒佛南无观世音菩萨。南无地藏王菩萨。南无虚空藏菩萨。南无除盖障菩萨。南无十方三世诸佛菩萨。

譬如：福生无量天尊。元始天尊。灵宝天尊。道德天尊。太乙救苦天尊。太上老君。玉皇大帝。王母娘娘。龙王神。城隍神。土地神。山神。水神。三界十方一切神仙。

佛菩萨、诸位善神会很欢喜地保佑赐福那些行善之人，帮助他迅速消除业障、化解冤亲债主、促进福报、改变命运，让他们心想事成、万事如意。

诸葛长青提醒：持续放生的人会经常闻到檀香味、经常梦见吉祥的事情、梦见佛菩萨、梦见佛菩萨赐佛珠、梦见贵人相助等等。

实际上，长期放生的人身边已经有了护法神，随时保护左右。

这就是很多人很奇怪，为什么放生的人会有求必应、富贵吉祥？

你想，有佛菩萨、神仙保佑，有护法神保护，如何不吉祥如意呢？

二是放生符合天道。上天有好生之德。行善积德必有福报。持续放生，必得上天护佑加持。诸葛长青研究认为，天地之间的各位佛菩萨、玉皇大帝、王母娘娘、元始天尊、灵宝天尊、道德天尊、太乙救苦天尊、太上老君、福禄寿三星、文曲星、财神、龙神、四大天王、酆都大帝、土地神等天地之间一切善神，都关爱天下众生。天地之间有善恶之神巡回视察，随时发现行善行恶之人上报天庭，予以赏罚。

诸葛长青研究国学文化发现：每时、每天、每月，都有天地善神巡查人间，记录人们的善恶行为，每月及时上报天庭。行善的予以赐福，作恶的予以惩罚。而天庭公正，一定会褒奖那些行善之人。

《太上感应篇》说：“天地有司过之神，依人所犯轻重以夺人算”，“又有三台北斗神君在人头上，录人罪恶，夺其纪算”，“又有三尸神在人身中每到庚申日，辄上诣天曹言人罪过”，于是人们的作为通过天地鬼神来裁决。当人非义而动、背理而行时，就会“大则夺纪、小则夺算”，而算减则贫耗，多逢忧患”，最终“算尽则死”，人就离开了人世；如果死有余辜，还将殃及子孙。所谓“是道则进，非道则退”，则“天道佑之，福禄随之，众邪避之，神灵卫之，所作必成，神仙可翼。”若改恶从善，则将转祸为福。

三是放生会发射“宇宙慈善因子”。诸葛长青告诉大家，当你放生的时候，你身上会发出一道“慈善因子光”，伴随你的放生瞬间发射到宇宙时空之中。此束慈善因子光，穿越时空，会紧密围绕着你，随时护佑你，让你消除业障、化解冤亲债主，改变你人生的命运轨道，使你走上吉祥如意、心想事成、有求必应的富贵环境。

禅定观察：持续放生的人身上，有白光、紫光、彩色光。这都是慈善因子。

你放生越多，发出的慈善因子场就越大，那么你的运气就越好，这就是放生化解病灾和延寿的原理。有神通天眼的人观察到，经常放生的人，不仅身边有护法神、而且身上散发着特殊的亮光。

此外，诸葛长青研究发现，每种动物生命都有保护神，你的放生会感动那些保护神，他们知道你放生之后会很感激你，冥冥中会悄悄地给你提供无限机缘。

持续放生者，受佛菩萨、天地一切神仙赞叹护佑，必然有求必应。

诸葛长青提醒有缘者，放生改命运要坚定信心、持之以恒，不能着急，不能急于求成，坚持不懈，必会有神奇感应。

四是放生会改变命运。由于行善积德功德很大，所以持续放生会改变人的命运。放生，什么时候有感应？什么时候改变命运？

诸葛长青根据实践告诉大家，放生感应快慢。

根据每个人累世善恶因果不同、放生时间不同，感应时间有快有慢。

譬如：一个人祖辈行善积德多、业障少、杀生吃肉少的，可能放生一次就有感应；一个人祖辈恶业多、业障大、杀生吃肉多的，可能放生多次才有福报感应。

但是，有一点必须诸葛长青和大家说明的是，只要坚持放生，“快则三天、中则三月、慢则三年”，必有感应。

诸葛长青放生公式：放生功德大于业障罪业之日，就是好命运、好福报到来之时，大家要有信心、耐心。

阿弥陀佛，诸恶莫作、众善奉行，持之以恒、有求必应！

为了让有缘者学会放生，诸葛长青结合古今大德、圣贤智慧，给大家编写了这个简易放生仪轨。供有缘者使用。

第三部分 放生准备和注意事项 

一、放生之前的准备

诸葛长青提醒各位有缘者：提前做好放生前的各项准备，非常重要，可以让你不会慌乱、有条不紊、从容放生。

1、要提前考察放生地点。

放生，要把生灵放生到环境干净、适合生存、远离人群、一般不被别人抓去的地方（山野森林、湖泊水库、河流等），否则就会让他们受到二次伤害。

诸葛长青提醒有缘者，最好提前考察好放生地点，否则你买了生灵后，找不到放生地点，就会很难受、很紧张，对生灵也是一种颠簸伤害。

诸葛长青建议大家放生之前要先考察：放生到哪里？放生地点安全吗？放生地点如果是江河湖海，那里干净无污染吗？如果是山林，那里森林植被茂密吗等等。要仔细考察，避免匆忙购买，匆忙放生。

譬如：有的人买了鱼匆忙放进被污染的水中或者很浅的水池中，结果使那些鱼类再次遭受痛苦；有的人把动物放在村庄附近，结果让他们遭受再次被捉命运。

2、不要和商贩预订，最好到集市上、超市里或者路边“随机购买”。买物放生，不要提前和商家预订，那样会造成人为捕捉。诸葛长青建议：不要让人单独给你捕捉、单独准备，如果你提前订购，有些人就会特意捕捉了贩卖，那样等于间接杀生，还容易形成捕捉销售产业链，造成更大罪业。建议购买的时候，要悄悄地到市场上、超市里、路边等地方，购买那些即将被别人买去的乌龟、鱼、泥鳅、青蛙、鸟、蛇、蚯蚓等等生命。

3、购买时候，尽量讨价还价。根据放生有缘者实践验证，在价格上尽量讨价还价，这不是小心眼的问题，而是用同样资金可以购买更多的生命放生。

4、有爱心、有资金、有能力的，可以建立放生池、放生山。

阿弥陀佛。诸葛长青认为，有爱心、有资金、有能力的，可以租赁买下一座山、租赁买下一些湖泊水库，然后把那座山、那些湖泊水库改为放生山、放生池，树立几座石碑，上面刻上阿弥陀佛、刻上放生池等，如此，功德无量啊。

5、有条件、有能力的，可以直接买断那些养殖户，让他们不再养殖。如果发现有养殖户（如鱼类、狐狸、乌龟、蝎子、螃蟹等养殖户），不想继续养殖，而自己有条件、有能力的，可以一次性购买他们的养殖场动物放生，这样功德非常大。不仅有放生功德，而且让养殖户避免继续杀业。

6、放生不论钱多、钱少都可以进行，关键是诚心诚意。

放生，关键是看自己的真诚心。

诸葛长青认为，放生根据自己经济情况进行。资金多的多放生，资金少的少放生。哪怕只有1元钱，也可以放生一些小鱼等。

根据自己经济能力，可以小放生、大放生。

小放生：就是每周或者每月都拿出一定资金放生（可以选择周六、周日，那样时间从容一些）。

大放生：就是为了实现自己目标、家人健康、为父母延寿等，根据自己的经济情况拿出大笔资金放生。不论大放生、小放生，只要持之以恒，都有极大福报。

7、如果有急事、子女升学、大病需要康复等，可以立刻大放生，立竿见影。

诸葛长青认为，如果经济条件好，可以多投入资金大放生，会立竿见影！

实践证明，一次性大放生，福报很大，立竿见影，有神奇效应！！

二、如何进行放生？

诸葛长青认为放生可以分为三类方式：“自己放生、委托别人放生、集体大放生”，三者功德一样。具体根据个人喜欢选择集体放生还是个人放生。

1、可以自己放生。如果有条件、有时间，可以自己放生。诸葛长青认为，自己放生，不仅速度快、效果好，而且能够体会到放生之后的那种喜悦、开心、感动之情。建议大家自己经常放生。

2、可以委托放生。如果不方便、没时间，可以委托放生。

（1）什么是委托放生？委托放生就是由于你很忙或者在城市里不方便等，把放生款交给附近的放生组织或者网上的放生组织代为放生。（可以网络搜索一下，注意查看他们是否公布捐款数额、是否有放生照片）。

请他们代为放生。代为放生的时候，你要同时做好给自己的回向。

（2）委托放生也要回向。建议委托放生者自己回向两次：

你捐款的时候自己回向一次；

你知道他们放生时间后自己再回向一次。

3、可以参加放生组织放生。当地有组织放生活动的，可以加入放生组织、当地佛教协会等。诸葛长青提醒，现在很多人组织集体大放生。存在问题是，放生仪轨不很一致。尤其是很多放生组织，不回向个人债主等，所以，参加集体放生的人，可以先参加集体仪式，结束后，自己给自己单独回向，切记要回向自己和家人的冤亲债主、有缘生灵离苦得乐立刻超生，同时要回向自己身体健康等目标。

三、在哪里放生？

诸葛长青再次提醒，要提前考察放生地点。譬如：有的人买了鱼匆忙放进被污染的水中或者很浅的水池中，结果使那些鱼类再次遭受痛苦、遭受被捉命运。

1、放生地点要选择“离人类远、干净整洁、方便动物求生”的地方。如蛇、狐狸、鸟类等可放到山上，乌龟、鱼类等应放到有水源不易被捕捉的地方。

2、放生地方必须干净。譬如水源，必须洁净，否则会对他们造成伤害。

3、切记要远离人群。诸葛长青提醒有缘者：最好选择远离人群的地方放生，这样才算是“救命救到底”，否则可能“你上午放生、别人下午捉”，会伤害他们。

四、放生疑问几点提醒

诸葛长青：这是很多有缘者经常向诸葛长青老师提问的几个问题，这里统一说明。

1、放生要符合仪轨。尤其是要回向自己和家人的冤亲债主、附体众生、有缘众生、累世宗亲、历代祖先、堕胎婴灵、孤魂野鬼等离苦得乐立刻超生。

2、要熟悉放生仪轨。最好是在放生之前反复念诵演练，熟练之后再去放生更好。一开始不熟悉的，可以打印（抄写）出来随身携带，放生时候照着念。多做几次放生后，就熟悉背诵了。

3、仪轨念诵可以灵活进行。放生仪轨一般在放生现场念诵，如果不方便，可以在家里、在车上、在路上做好仪轨，到了放生地点直接放生。

如果路远为了防止动物死亡或者情况紧急，可以先放生，后做仪轨；放生结束后，再重新补上放生仪轨，功德一样！也可以在家里、车上做仪轨，然后到放生地点直接放生，如果有时间，可以现场做仪轨。

4、如果是聋哑人有缘者放生。只要诚心念，不出声音也可以，功德一样。

5、自己放生、集体放生、委托放生，哪个功德大？三者功德一样。如果有时间，最好亲自去放生，可以放生现场做仪轨。

6、发现买的鱼类鸟类动物有死亡的怎么办？诸葛长青：这个情况别着急。在路上、在放生地点，发现被放生生命去世往生的，说明他们因缘已到，可以把他们和活的生命一起念仪轨。放生结束后，单独回向他们离苦得乐、立刻超生。然后，按照“各得其所”的方法，进行安置。水里的放进水中，陆地的埋入土中。如果你会做施食，事后可以施食召请超度他们一次。

第四部分 诸葛长青放生仪轨五步骤

诸葛长青建议：有缘者最好把这五个放生步骤背诵下来。

初次学习放生的，可以把这五个步骤反复阅读几遍，模拟几遍。然后把这“五个步骤”打印（或抄写下来）、或者在手机上观看，照着念诵就可以。连续放生几次，就可以熟悉背诵了。

*提前准备。

1、提前考虑放生时间、地点，购买动物地点等。

2、在买动物的市场、集市，不要念诵佛号道号，因为那些地方有很多众生，念诵了会干扰他们。引发障碍。

3、买了放生动物后：立刻发出“南无阿弥陀佛。福生无量天尊。我要放生你们，你们要好好活着”善念（可以出声，也可默念），一直到放生地点。

4、放生路上，可以默念佛号、菩萨号、道号，意念佛光照耀放生物，加持他们生命健康。

5、如果地点很远，可以在家里、在去放生地点的途中（车上）把仪轨做完，这样可以节约时间，到了地点直接放生就可以。

诸葛长青放生仪轨五步骤具体仪轨（简单方便5步骤）：

   诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。放生的目的是为了解救生灵，所以要简单方便，不要太复杂。这样避免对生灵们造成伤害，有利于生灵得到生存。建议做好五个步骤就可以。

第一步：念佛号道号，说说你是谁。

诸葛长青：意念佛光神光照耀在自己和动物生命身上。

诸葛长青认为，放生之前说说你是谁，可以迅速沟通佛界、神界，让佛菩萨、善神知道你是谁，给予加持护佑，帮助你快速消除业障、赐予福报、促进果报、改变命运。

1、出声音，感恩念诵佛号（诸葛长青：双手合十，每个念诵3-10遍遍。目的是请佛菩萨护佑加持并真诚感恩）：

南无本师释迦牟尼佛。南无阿弥陀佛。

南无东方琉璃药师佛。南无弥勒佛。南无宝髻如来。

南无观世音菩萨。南无地藏王菩萨。

南无虚空藏菩萨。南无除盖障菩萨。

南无十方三世诸佛菩萨。

2、出声音，感恩念诵道号（诸葛长青：双手合十，每个念诵3-10遍。念诵目的是请善神护佑加持并真诚感恩）：

福生无量天尊。元始天尊。灵宝天尊。道德天尊。

太乙救苦天尊。太上老君。玉皇大帝。王母娘娘。

龙王神。城隍神。土地神。山神。水神。

三界十方一切神仙。

诸葛长青：为何要念佛号、道号？

因为放生不仅有佛菩萨加持，也有善神护佑。念诵是为了表示内心的感恩。所有佛经佛法都有护法神保护。世尊释迦牟尼佛也经常在《地藏经》等佛经中赞叹诸位善神。感恩是人类最美的语言。唐僧西天取经成功，除了自身努力以及孙悟空、猪八戒、沙僧、白龙马帮助之外，非常重要的是得益于诸佛菩萨和诸善神的加持护佑。为了帮助唐僧，孙悟空经常请玉皇大帝、元始天尊、灵宝天尊、道德天尊（太上老君）、太乙救苦天尊、哪吒、龙神、雷神、风神、二十八星宿、城隍神、山神、土地神、四值功曹等帮忙。同样，放生，也离不开各位善神的护佑。我们要感恩诸佛菩萨、诸位善神。

3、“默念”说你是谁、你在哪里放生（双手合十）。

你可以默念说：弟子***，曾用名***（如果有曾用名***，如改过名字也说说），法名***（如果无法名不用说），*年*月*日（阴历生日），生于南瞻部洲中国**省**市**县**镇**村（城市人则说城市出生地点），现在*省*市*地从事**工作（职务），今天在*省*市*区*地*（地点）放生，请予加持护佑。

诸葛长青老师提醒有缘者，默念过程中，不知道自己出生时间、地点的，可以不说，只说自己姓名和现在居住位置即可。过继给别人做子女的，要说原来姓名和现在姓名等基本情况。

第二步：念忏悔偈（ji）（出声音，念3遍。双手合十，面对生灵）

往昔所造诸恶业，皆由无始贪嗔痴，

从身语意之所生，皆向佛前求忏悔。

诸葛长青：念诵这个忏悔偈，既是为自己忏悔，也是让生灵们忏悔。

第三步：念三皈依、两开示（出声音，念3遍。双手合十，面对生灵）：

阿弥陀佛。福生无量天尊。各位生灵（如果是鱼、乌龟等，可直接说出来）你们好，今天在这里放生，下面根据佛菩萨善神圣贤智慧和诸葛长青老师开示给你们三皈依、两开示：

1、现在给你们“念诵三皈依”（诸葛长青：念3-10遍。皈依念gui yi）：

“皈依佛，皈依法，皈依僧。皈依佛不堕地狱，皈依法不堕饿鬼，皈依僧不堕畜生。”

2、现在给你们“开示两句话”：

第一句：你们要吃素行善。这次放生你们后，是你们新的开始，希望你们要一心向善、吃素行善，不杀生吃肉，不做恶事，不要伤害其他众生生灵。希望你们好好生活，不要受到伤害，不要被人捉去。

第二句：你们要多念佛号道号。今天放生，你们听闻了佛法、道法、儒法。各位佛菩萨善神都来护佑你们。你们将来可以成佛菩萨、成为神仙。

如果你们未来想成佛的，可以一心专念“阿弥陀佛”或者“观世音菩萨、地藏王菩萨”；如果你们未来想成神仙或者投胎做人的，可以一心专念“玉皇大帝、王母娘娘”或者“太上老君”。只要你们持续念诵，将来都会达成目标的。 （念3遍）

第四步：念诵佛号道号放生。

诸葛长青：念佛号、道号，意念佛光、神光照耀加持你和动物生命（出声音，念1-10遍。喜欢多念的可以多念。也可以念诵你喜欢的）、

边念诵边放生：

1、念诵：南无本师释迦牟尼佛。南无阿弥陀佛。南无观世音菩萨。南无地藏王菩萨。南无虚空藏菩萨。福生无量天尊。太上老君。玉皇大帝。城隍神。土地神。王母娘娘。龙神。水神。善神。

2、想象：佛菩萨、善神放出白色、彩色光照在你和动物上方，意念他们被佛光、神光保护，好好生活、不被伤害。然后直接放掉动物生命就可以。

第五步：回向（心里默念，不要出声）——

诸葛长青：放生结束后，接着回向（默念1-3遍，双手合十。）

一是总回向：就是对自己和家人进行总回向。譬如：

1、回向：

回向我身上的各位“冤亲债主、附体众生、有缘生灵、累世宗亲、历代祖先、堕胎婴灵、孤魂野鬼等”离苦得乐、离开超生；

回向我父亲***母亲***丈夫（妻子）***儿子（女儿）***身上的各位“冤亲债主、附体众生、有缘生灵、累世宗亲、历代祖先、堕胎婴灵、孤魂野鬼等”离苦得乐、立刻超生；

回向我和全家人身体健康、事业腾飞、家庭和谐、心想事成、万事如意等。
2、回向消除我和全家人累劫以来的“杀业、偷盗业、邪淫罪业，两舌、恶口、绮语、妄语罪业，贪财贪色贪名贪利罪业、嗔怒发火罪业、愚蠢愚痴罪业”、“诽谤佛菩萨、诽谤神仙、诽谤圣贤、诽谤出家人罪业”、“不孝父母、破坏寺庙、道观、破坏弘法利生”等各类罪业，回向消除我和全家人无间地狱、屎尿地狱、水灾地狱、火灾地狱等各类地狱的各项罪业。

3、回向我和全家人相信佛法、道法、儒法，行善积德，造福社会，戒杀放生，不吃鱼、不吃肉、不吃海鲜等等各类荤（hn）菜，只吃五谷杂粮素食青菜。

4、回向尽虚空遍法界一切有缘众生，早日听闻佛法、道法、儒法，开悟智慧，明心见性、早证菩提、早成佛果、离苦得乐、立刻超生。

二是针对回向：是指针对自己的情况进行回向。

如果有什么愿望可以针对回向，如果没有什么特别愿望，那么就简单回向即可。譬如：

回向我身上的各位冤亲债主、我杀害过、伤害过、吃过的各位冤亲债主、有缘生灵离苦得乐立刻超生。譬如：回向自己的堕胎婴灵，曾经杀害过、伤害过、欺骗过、吃过的猪、牛、狗、羊、蛇、鱼、猪、狗、乌龟等生灵、离苦得乐、立刻超升。

诸葛长青：你有什么愿望，可以直接回向，不要太多、太乱。

这个回向直到目的实现即可以停止。譬如：如果你有什么家庭矛盾、婚姻阻挠、事业障碍、身体疾病等，可以单独特殊回向一下。 

提醒：有重大疾病、重大紧急事情的，应大放生并单独针对性回向。不再加入其他回向内容。   

譬如想“求婚姻”，可以针对性回向：回向阻挠婚姻的各位“冤亲债主、附体众生、有缘生灵、累世宗亲、历代祖先、堕胎婴灵、孤魂野鬼等”，离苦得乐、立刻超生。回向自己有一个好婚姻，早日找到心地善良、关心自己的如意郎君（好妻子）。

譬如“夫妻经常吵架”，可以针对性回向：回向引发夫妻吵架的各位“冤亲债主、附体众生、有缘生灵、累世宗亲、历代祖先、堕胎婴灵、孤魂野鬼等”离苦得乐、立刻超生。回向夫妻恩爱、家庭和睦幸福。

譬如“求怀孕生子”，可以针对回向：回向阻挠怀孕的各位“冤亲债主、附体众生、有缘生灵、累世宗亲、历代祖先、堕胎婴灵、孤魂野鬼等”离苦得乐立刻超生，回向早日怀孕生一个健康聪明可爱的宝宝。

譬如“母亲腿部疼痛”，可以针对回向：回向引发母亲腿部疼痛的各位“冤亲债主、附体众生、有缘生灵、累世宗亲、历代祖先、堕胎婴灵、孤魂野鬼等”，离苦得乐、立刻超生。回向母亲腿部疾病早日康复、健康长寿。

譬如“孩子学习不好”，可以针对回向：回向让孩子学习不好的各位“冤亲债主、附体众生、有缘生灵、累世宗亲、历代祖先、堕胎婴灵、孤魂野鬼等”离苦得乐、立刻超生。回向孩子上课认真听讲、好好学习、天天向上，取得好成绩。

三是梦境回向。就是针对自己和家人梦境回向。如果你和家人做了一些恶梦、有人求助的梦，就在回向中加上：回向梦中出现的各位“冤亲债主、附体众生、有缘生灵、累世宗亲、历代祖先、堕胎婴灵、孤魂野鬼等”离苦得乐、立刻超生。做了吉祥梦境不需要回向。

诸葛长青建议，不论是否做梦，可以笼统回向梦中的各位冤亲债主有缘生灵离苦得乐立刻超生。

1、恶梦：梦见一些人或者动物攻击你等，一般是来讨债的冤亲债主，你回向的时候，应当加上。譬如你曾经梦见一个女的追赶你、一条狗咬你，你可以加上：回向梦中出现的那个女人和狗，离苦得乐、立刻超生。心里默念3遍，结束。持续放生回向3次就可以。

2、求助梦：梦见乌龟、鲤鱼被杀，梦见鲤鱼等变成人向你求救等，一般是有灵性的乌龟、鲤鱼托梦给你求救的。你要马上去附近的市场看看，发现对着你跳跃着急的，都是那些梦中的再现。有的是梦见去世的亲人穿着破烂或者向你发火、求助等等，你回向的时候要单独加上回向3遍。持续放生回向3次就可以。

3、吉祥梦：梦见鲜花、水果、坐火车、坐飞机、佛菩萨、神仙、开心快乐的人、鲤鱼跳舞、神龙飞舞等，这都是吉祥的梦境。不需要添加回向。

诸葛长青建议：不论是否做梦，可以笼统回向梦中的各位冤亲债主有缘生灵离苦得乐立刻超生。

做好以上这五个步骤，放生就全面结束了。

第五部分 放生感应及有关说明 

一、放生感应。

放生后，每个人因缘不同，会有不同感应。

1、感谢梦境。会梦到你放生的乌龟、鸟类动物等来感谢，有的是动物形象，有的会变成老人、女子、男子、小孩等来感谢。

2、福报感应。你会变得身体健康、心情愉悦、家庭和睦、财源广进、婚姻幸福、事业腾飞、人员变好等。

3、求助梦境。你持续放生行善，身有佛光神光，很多有神通的龙族、鱼类、鸟类、乌龟仙、蛇仙等会给你托梦，向你求救。譬如：你梦到一个女子说，她是一条鱼，需要求救；梦到一条鱼说，请你救助；梦到蛇变成老人求救等。只要梦到都要赶紧去附近市场或者你经常去买物的地方看看，凭借心灵感应立刻买下放生。以后诸葛长青会发表类似文章。

4、重罪轻报感应。有的人持续放生，出现了河边摔跤、轻微碰撞等等情况，这都是“重罪轻报”，预兆化解了重大罪业。这个平常心，记住行善积德必有福报，必会消除重大罪业。

二、建议放生结束后，现场停留一会。

诸葛长青建议：放生结束后，如果自己有时间，可以在现场多停留一会、多念一会“南无阿弥陀佛”“福生无量天尊”“龙王神”等。也可以放生现场念诵《心经》（具体结合实际情况，你喜欢什么就念诵什么）。

为何要这样做呢？  

1、念诵佛号道号对生灵有加持作用。一边念佛号道号，一边心里意念放生的生命，保佑他们不被伤害、好好生活。如果你放生3次以上、在放生地点念佛时间长，你会发现放生的东西会有神奇反映，譬如乌龟、泥鳅善鱼等，一般会浮出水面、或者游到岸边爬到岸上、或者抬起头来看看你，恋恋不舍地离去……。如果有念佛机的，可以佩戴念佛机到河边加持放生过程。

大家看看这个视频，放生的泥鳅鳝鱼回头来感谢放生者：

2、保护被放生灵作用。诸葛长青验证发现，很多生命放生后，会停留现场不走，以表达自己感激之情。这时候，要主动赶他们走，防止被人捕捉。如果放生的生命不舍地走，你要挥挥手，说：快走吧，为了你更好地生活，快走吧。他们才会恋恋不舍的走……如果是鱼，有时候会泛起浪花，表达感谢。

3、防止现场被人捕捉。放生实践验证，有些乌龟等为了表达对放生者的感激，会爬到岸上来，结果被路过的人捉了去。如果停留一会，可以防止有些人去放生现场人为捕捉，导致他们再次受难。

三、放生时候发现生灵有死去的怎么办？

诸葛长青：凡是放生，不论生灵活着还是去世，都有大福报。

1、买了生灵，到了放生地点时已经死去，不要紧，你没有罪业，只有福报功德。因为你买了它，使它避免被人杀掉吃掉，就等于保全了他的身体。此外，你给他念佛号、道号，给他三皈依，可以使他迅速种下成佛的种子。

2、如果看到放生生灵死去，可以给他们三皈依，并且念三遍“南无宝髻如来”（宝髻读音是bojì），他就可以得到瞬间超度。大家要注意，如果放生的动物放生时候死去，放生的人照样有无限功德，因为你把它挽救出来，还给他进行了超度，给他们脱离三恶道的机会，种下成佛的种子，动物死去的同时，已经进行了超度，可以进入三善道。

3、根据他们生灵属性放进水里或者土地。

如果是水中的生命，直接放进水里就可以。

如果是陆地上的、天上飞的，可以找个地方埋起来。这样有大功德！

4、平时多掩埋路边动物尸体。诸葛长青建议，如果平时路上碰到死去的鸟、鸡、狗等生命，你可以念“南无阿弥陀佛、南无宝髻如来”，给他们三皈依等等，然后把他们埋起来，功德非常大。

四、如果平时发现有人捕鱼、钓鱼可以念南无宝胜如来

诸葛长青：如果你看见有人捕鱼鳖飞禽之属，只要念“南无宝胜如来”，(南无的读音是na mo)捕者将终无所获。意念佛菩萨善神护佑生灵。

念“南无宝胜如来”，非常管用，你一念诵“南无宝胜如来”，立刻有护法神前来帮助你，或者令捕鱼者头脑空白无法捕捉，或者令天地刮风下雨使之无法捕获，或者忽然出现别人干扰捕鱼者，十分灵验的，大家一定要记住。

五、建议同时做好“诸葛长青国学改运五合一”。

诸葛长青研究国学传统文化，根据圣贤智慧提出了国学“改运五合一”（忏悔、施食、放生、念诵、吃素）。五者并进，感应神速。具体可以多看《改变命运秘法：五合一改运秘法》、《国学智慧：孝亲尊师+五合一+自强不息》等文章。
