Release and eat vegetarianism for a long life 

放生、吃素,福寿无数

1. 'The release of life is the best way to initiate people to protect the lives of all living things. We hope that they will be sympathetic to the idea of releasing life, and that their hearts will be sympathetic to the idea of releasing life. If they do not eat or bite, then the catchers will cease. If all creatures on land, in water, in air and in air, can fly and swim at their own pace, then they will be universally released. The world is a pond, as it were. Even if not everyone is like this, but one person cannot bear to eat flesh, then countless lives on land and water will be spared, and not only one person. It is also the cause of widowhood, widowhood, loneliness, poverty and suffering for all those in the present and future. It is the cause of a long life free from sickness, of the reunion of fathers and sons, of the reunion of husband and wife.'

-Master Yin Guang 

2. 'If the Buddha's son, with compassion, performs the karma of releasing life. All men are my fathers, all women are my mothers, and I am born from them, so all beings in the six paths are my parents.

-The Brahma Sutra 

3. 'All sentient beings, from the beginning of time, in the cycle of birth and death, have been parents and brothers, male and female dependents, and even friends and dear attendants, and have been born easily and have received the bodies of birds and animals, so why do you take them and eat them?

-Lenga Sutra  

4. 'Kill their bodies and lives, or eat their flesh. Through the dusty ages, they eat and punish each other. It is like the wheel of rebirth, with no rest for each other. There is no rest except for extravagance, and the appearance of the Buddha.'

-Lengyan Sutra 

5. 'If a pregnant woman eats a rabbit, her child will lack lips. If she eats a bird, the child will have bird's eyes. If she eats a crab, the offspring will be born horizontally. If you eat a turtle, your son will have a short neck and a shrunken head. If she eats eels and loaches, her children will be difficult to deliver. If one eats a chicken, one's son will be mute.'

-Wan Shan Xian Zi 

6. 'He who eats meat breaks the seed of the Buddha nature of great compassion, and all sentient beings see it and give it up.'

-The Brahma Sutra 

7. 'He who eats meat is sickly, so practice great compassion and the precept of not killing.'

-The Buddha's Sutra on the Ten Good Precepts 

8. The World Honoured One said: 'All have been relatives, and have been contemptible and impure, and have grown in impurity, and have been terrified at the smell of their breath. All meat and onions, and all leeks and garlic, and all kinds of wine, are always kept away from practice. And always keep away from sesame oil, and from perforated beds, in which the fine insects are a great terror.'

'Eating and drinking gives rise to indulgence, and indulgence gives rise to awareness, and from awareness comes greed.

'If craving is a hindrance to liberation, wine, meat, onions, leeks and garlic are all obstacles to the holy path.

'If one eats flesh and blood, all living beings are terrified. If one eats meat without compassion, one will never be liberated and it is contrary to the holy manifestations. The reason why one should not eat meat is that one is born into the Vaishnava race, and all places of practice and wisdom and wealth.'

-Lenga Sutra 

9. 'The Four Pure and Clear Teachings' Ananda asked the Buddha, 'Desiring to take his mind into samadhi. How can I make them establish the path, stay away from all demons, and attain bodhichitta without retreat?

The Buddha said, 'You teach the world to practise samadhi by first breaking the mind's lust, second breaking killing and eating meat, third breaking theft, and fourth breaking all great delusions, and this is the name of the Buddha, the First Buddha, the Four Decisions, the Pure and Clear Teaching.

'You should know that those who eat flesh, even if their minds are enlightened, like samsara, are great rakshasas. They are not disciples of the Buddha, but they will be in the sea of suffering and death at the end of their lives. Such people kill each other, eat each other, eat each other, and eat each other. How can these be the people who come out of the three realms?'

-Lengyan Sutra 

10. The ten great virtues of releasing life -

One: No swords, no weapons, no robberies. 2. Collecting all good fortune. Long life and good health. 4. Many sons and good fortune for men. V. The Buddhas rejoice. 6. Gratitude of all things. No calamities. 8. Birth in heaven. 9. All evils are destroyed. Peace in all seasons. Especially in times of danger. Ten. Life is unending. The goodness of the heart is like that of the descendants who pass on from generation to generation and are blessed with eternal life. (Animal Evolution)

1、‘须知放生一事，实为发起同人，普护物命之最胜善心。企其体贴放生之意，中心恻然，不忍食啖。既不食啖，则捕者便息。庶水陆空行一切物类，自在飞走游泳自所行境，则成不放之普放。非所谓以天下而为池乎。纵不能人各如是，而一人不忍食肉，则无量水陆生命，得免杀戮 况不止一人乎。又为现在未来一切同人，继鳏寡孤独贫穷患难之因。作长寿无病，富贵安乐父子团圆，夫妻偕老之缘。’

—印光大师 

2、‘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。’

—《梵网经》 

3、‘一切众生，从无始来，在生死中，轮回不息，靡不曾作父母兄弟，男女眷属，乃至朋友亲爱侍使，易生而受鸟兽等身，云何于中取之而食。’

—《楞伽经》  

4、‘杀彼身命，或食其肉。经微尘劫，相食相诛。犹如轮转，互为高下，无有休息。除奢摩他，及佛出世，不可停寝。’

—《楞严经》 

5、‘孕妇食兔，子则缺唇。食雀，子则雀目。食蟹，子多横生。食鳖，子则项短头缩。食鳗鱼鳅鳝，子多难产。食田鸡，子多喑哑。’

—《万善先资》 

6、‘夫食肉者，断大慈悲佛性种子 一切众生见而舍去。’

—《梵网经》 

7、‘啖肉者多病，当行大慈心，奉行不杀戒。’

—《佛说十善戒经》 

8、世尊说偈曰：‘曾悉为亲属，鄙秽不净杂，不净所生长，闻气悉恐怖。一切肉与葱，及诸韭蒜等，种种放逸酒，修行常远离。亦常离麻油，及诸穿孔床，以彼诸细虫，于中极恐怖。’

‘饮食生放逸，放逸生诸觉，从觉生贪欲，是故不应食。’

‘如被贪欲过 障碍圣解脱，酒、肉、葱、韭、蒜，悉为圣道障。’

‘若食诸血肉，众生悉恐怖，是故修行者，慈心不食肉。食肉无慈慧，永背正解脱，及违圣表相，是故不应食。得生梵志种，及诸修行处，智慧富贵家，斯由不食肉。’

—《楞伽经》 

9、‘四种清净明诲’阿难问佛：‘欲摄其心，入三摩地。云何令其安立道场，远诸魔事，于菩提心 得无退屈？’

佛言：‘汝教世人修三摩地，先断心淫，次断杀生食肉，三断偷盗，四断诸大妄语，是名如来，先佛世尊，四种决定，清净明诲。’

‘汝等当知，是食肉人，纵得心开，似三摩地，皆大罗刹。报终必况，生死苦海，非佛弟子。如是之人，相杀相吞，相食相吞，相食未己。云何是人，得出三界？’

—《楞严经》 

10、放生十大功德—

一、无刀兵劫。二、集诸吉祥。三、长寿健康。四、多子宜男。五、诸佛欢喜。六、物类感恩。七、无诸灾难。八、得生天上。九、诸恶消灭。四季安宁。尤其于危险时代。十、生生不息。善心相感，正似子孙代代相传，永远福寿。（动物进化）
