Release question: Can the Brazilian tortoise be released?

放生疑问：巴西龟可以放生吗？

Unlimited meritorious deeds can change fate and accumulate blessings.

... Zhuge Changqing

To set free is to save lives.

To let go is to accumulate virtue.

To release life is to change fate.

Throughout the ages, Confucius, Laozi, Mozi, Sakyamuni Buddha, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Dizang King Bodhisattva, Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, Mount Tai, Mother Mazu and other sages and sages have advocated the release of life.

The Vatican Sutra says that release: Buddha! If you commit suicide, teach others to kill, facilitate killing, and praise killing, you will be glad to see it, or even curse killing. Cause, fate, method and cause of killing. Even all those who have life must not be killed. It is the Bodhisattva who should be always compassionate and filial, so as to help all living beings, while it is the Bodhisattva Brahmani's crime to fight against the wanton and happy killing.

The Vatican Sutra says that release: If Buddha! For the sake of compassion, we should release life. All men are my father, all women are my mother, and all my life is born from it. Therefore, all the six sentient beings are my parents. To kill and eat is to kill my parents, and also kill my dead body. All the earth and water are my ancestors, and all the fire and wind are my body. So we should always release life, live and live, and live, and teach people to release life. If people kill animals, they should be able to rescue them and relieve their suffering.

Recently, a predestined person asked Zhuge Changqing, can the Brazilian tortoise be released?

Zhuge Changqing's answer is as follows:

Hello, Zhuge Changqing!

I bought 22 turtles yesterday and came back to set them free. Later, I saw that the release of Brazilian turtles damaged the ecological environment. What should we do to be reasonable?

Please be merciful.

Zhuge Changqing answers:

amitabha. Brazilian turtles can be released. Although they are fierce, you can teach them to take away their murderous heart and be vegetarian and do good.

Buddha said that all living beings can be Buddha, let alone the Brazilian tortoise?

Zhuge Changqing suggested that you can do this:

1、 Give them three converts and teach them to abstain from killing and vegetarianism:

1. Give them three converts.

Zhuge Changqing suggested that you can say this:

amitabha. Blessed life is limitless. Arya Avalokiteshvara. Bodhisattva, the king of Tibet. Lord Lao Zi. (Read 10-20 times)

Dear Brazilian tortoise, bodhisattva and fairy

I am XXX, whose name is XXX (no need to say). Today I am here to give you three conversions. I hope you will learn more about Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism, abide by the precepts, don't kill animals, eat meat, eat more vegetarian food, and become a Buddha and an immortal in the future, and get rid of the suffering sea of the three evil ways. Here are three conversions for you:

Convert to Buddha, convert to the law, convert to monk, convert to Buddha, do not fall into hell, convert to the law, do not fall into hungry ghosts, convert to monk, do not fall into animals (3 times)

2. Then teach the Brazilian turtle:

Zhuge Changqing suggested that you can say this:

Hello, Brazilian tortoise, bodhisattva and immortals. I have just converted to you three. I hope you will recite more Buddhist names and Taoist signs in the future. Especially, if you want to become a Buddha, you should recite more Buddhist names and Taoist signs if you want to become immortals.

At the same time, you should abide by the precepts, abstain from killing and vegetarianism, use divine powers to promote the law and promote life, do not commit crimes such as killing karma, and repent more of your sins. I wish you all a good life, get rid of the beast road as soon as possible, and become Buddha and immortals as soon as possible

2、 Set free according to the ritual.

1. You can search "Zhuge Changqing Release Ceremony".

2. At the end of the release procedure, show them again.

3、 Usually, I often read Zhuge Changqing's Sina blog, which contains an album of release articles. You can learn more wisdom.

If you have good intentions, you will be rewarded. Come on!

放生功德无量，可以改命运积累福报。

……诸葛长青

放生，就是救命。

放生，就是积德。

放生，就是改命运。

古往今来，孔子、老子、墨子、释迦牟尼佛、观世音菩萨、地藏王菩萨、玉皇大帝、王母娘娘、泰山娘娘、妈祖娘娘等圣贤，都主张放生。

《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。

最近，一位有缘者询问诸葛长青，巴西龟可以放生吗？

诸葛长青解答如下：

诸葛长青老师好！

我昨天买了22只乌龟，回来想去放生。后来看到网上说放生巴西龟破坏生态环境。应该怎么做才如理如法呢？

请老师慈悲开示。

诸葛长青解答：

阿弥陀佛。巴西龟可以放生的。他们虽然凶猛，但是，你通过给他们三皈依开示等，让他们去掉杀心，吃素行善，就可以了。

佛说一切众生皆堪做佛，何况巴西龟呢？

诸葛长青建议你可以这样做：

一.给他们三皈依、开示戒杀吃素：

1.给他们三皈依。

诸葛长青建议你可以这样说：

阿弥陀佛。福生无量天尊。观世音菩萨。地藏王菩萨。太上老君。（念10—20遍）

尊敬的巴西龟菩萨神仙你们好：

我是某某，法名某某（没有不用说），今天我在这里给你三皈依，希望你以后多学习佛法道法儒法，遵守戒律，不要杀生吃肉，多吃素食，将来成佛成神仙，脱离三恶道苦海。下面给你们三皈依：

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（3遍）

2.接着给巴西龟开示:

诸葛长青建议你可以这样说：

各位巴西龟菩萨神仙你们好。刚才给你们三皈依了，希望你们以后多念佛号道号，尤其是，如果你们要成佛就多念佛号，要成神仙就多念道号。

同时，你们要遵守戒律、戒杀吃素、用神通弘法利生，不要犯杀业等罪业，多忏悔自己罪业。祝你们好好活着，都早日脱离畜牲道，早日成佛成神仙（诸葛长青：反复给他们开示20遍）

二、按照仪轨放生。

1.可以搜索《诸葛长青放生仪轨》。

2.放生程序最后，再给他们开示一遍。

三、平时多看诸葛长青老师新浪博客，里面有放生文章专辑。可以学习到更多放生智慧。

你有善心善念，必有福报，加油！
