Reason for releasing life: What is the internal reason for releasing life (figure)?

放生道理：放生的内在道理是什么（图）？

Letting go is to save lives, to accumulate virtue, and to respond to requests! You might as well do an experiment. It's very effective!

----Zhuge Changqing

Answer: The reason for releasing life is:

（1） Karma and retribution follow each other closely, and it is the eternal truth that what you plant and what you get. To release life is to save people's lives. If you plant a good cause, you will get good results. If you hinder criticism and release life, you will hinder others from saving lives. If you plant a bad cause, you will get bad results.

（2） All living beings in the world have spirituality. They all know to seek good fortune and avoid bad luck. They can be greedy for life and fear death. They all have joys and sorrows. Now they are released, and all things know Thanksgiving!

（3） All living beings in heaven and earth have the nature of Buddha. Compared with me, there is no difference. It is just because of the heavy karma, unfortunately, they become heterogeneous animals. Once the karma is eliminated, they can also prove the Buddha. To release life today is to save a future Buddha!

（4） All beings in the world and I have been close to each other in the endless cycle of reincarnation. To set free today is to save your relatives!

（5） In the past reincarnation, all living beings and I have been enemies of each other. Today's release of life is just a way to resolve grievances and revenge!

The eminent monk said:

1、 To set free is to save lives. Letting go is to save the lives of those who have been captured, captured, will be slaughtered, and are in danger. The most precious thing for all living beings is that their lives can be restored to life and saved. They are most grateful, so they have great merit!

2、 To set free is to pay off debts. The killing karma we have created in this life and in the past has been limitless. Letting go is to spend money and effort to save the lives of all living beings to repay the countless killing debts we have accumulated before.

3、 To set free is to save the emergency. Unlike other merits and virtues, releasing life is to save lives on the eve of the New Year, and to revive the killed lives at any time. It is an urgent action with a thousand hooks. It is like emergency treatment in a hospital. A single moment and a whole action can save thousands of lives, so the merits and virtues are profound.

4、 Letting go is compassion. Buddha's heart is great compassion. Compassion is the basis of learning Buddhism, while release is a kind of action to relieve the suffering of all living beings and save them with compassion. Letting go can cultivate our compassion. In the process of letting go, compassion can be cultivated to the greatest extent. Often let go of life. Compassion often grows. It is more compatible with the Buddha's heart. It is easier to feel and communicate with the Buddha.

5、 Release is enlightenment. Compared with me, the Buddha nature of any sentient beings is neither lacking nor different, so every life is equal and precious. In the process of release, we realized that all living beings know that they are greedy for life and afraid of death, and that they all have happiness, anger and sorrow. Compared with me, they are completely the same; All sentient beings are more like Buddha. Once the karma is empty, all can become Buddha in the future. Therefore, saving all sentient beings is like saving a Buddha, and it is more like saving a future Buddha.

6、 Release is practice. It is better to be honest than to say a thousand words. The most important thing to learn Buddhism is to practice. In the real action of releasing life, we should really cultivate compassion, really save life, really convert, chant Buddha, repent, and turn back for all living beings, truly realize the truth that all living beings are equal, all have Buddha nature, and all can become Buddha, and truly achieve self-interest. Only in this way can we really gain benefits.

7、 Release is positive. Eating vegetarian food and releasing life are two very important things for Buddhists. But vegetarianism is only to stop evil. It is to passively stop creating killing karma and accumulating new killing debts; However, releasing life is to promote goodness, to actively redeem life, and to repay the debt of killing previously owed. Eating vegetarianism and not letting go of life will pay off for the killing you owe; If you let go without being vegetarian, you will lose all your merits and virtues because you eat meat. So vegetarianism is the two sides of one body. It needs to complement each other, and at the same time, the effect will be significant.

8、 Release is convenient. We set free on the same day. On that day, countless creatures trapped in cages immediately gained freedom, countless dying lives immediately regained vitality, and infinite merits could be obtained on that day. And no matter how many people there are, how little money there is, any time, any place, as long as you show compassion, anyone can release. Unlike other merits, release does not need to wait for opportunities, but can take the initiative; You don't need to rely on others, you can complete it by yourself; Millions of people can't achieve the merit and virtue in their life. We can achieve it alone in a short time by releasing life. If we can promote it more widely, the merit and virtue will be more incredible. Therefore, releasing life merit and virtue is the most important, which can't be compared with other small good!

9、 Letting go is changing life. Our fate in this life is the result of countless good and evil causes created in many lives. Good causes lead to good results and bad causes lead to bad results. But the future destiny is completely in our own hands. By accumulating blessings and doing good deeds and sincerely repenting, our destiny can be completely changed. The greatest merit and virtue of releasing life is both direct and rapid, and the most significant power to change fate.

10、 To set free is to redress grievances. Every sentient being has been enmity with us for many years. Once the enmity is over, we must wait for revenge. And release can resolve grievances, turn enemies into friends, and avoid mutual retribution!

11、 To set free is to eliminate disasters. The disasters and misfortunes are all due to our previous grievances and karma. The release of life to save the lives of all living beings has not only eliminated the death of all living beings, but also eliminated our karma and the karma that should have been paid for in the future. This is the inevitable reason of cause and effect.

12、 To release is to cure disease. In fact, the reason for the incurable disease is because of the karma inspired by our previous killing. Since the cause of killing must bear fruit, and the cause of killing must be rewarded, the solution is to release the life, pay off the killing debt, eliminate the root cause of disease, and the disease will naturally improve.

13、 To set free is to save one's relatives. In the endless cycle of reincarnation, every sentient being has been with us as parents, children, brothers and relatives. Because of their different karma, I am lucky to be a man today, but unfortunately, he has become an animal. To release is to rescue our relatives and friends and relatives for many years, so that they can regain their vitality and enjoy life in peace!

14、 To set free is to prolong life. Everyone hopes to live a long life, release life to save life, and prolong the lives of countless sentient beings. At the same time, it will certainly prolong your life, which is the eternal truth of cause and effect.

15、 Letting go is good. Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, and every life is equal and precious. Therefore, saving all sentient beings has boundless merits, let alone saving many lives! Release is the greatest blessing! To set free is to do the greatest good; To accumulate blessings and do good deeds, all merits and virtues are better than to let go of life!

16、 Releasing can help the West. All three kinds of charity are available, including financial charity, Dharma charity and fearless charity. Practitioners take chanting Buddha as their right practice and releasing life as their help; Buddha chanting is the main task, and life release is the secondary task. Such practices, such as sailing with the wind and sailing with the water, have less effort and more results. With this unparalleled merit, return to the western paradise of rebirth, and the great cause of rebirth will surely win, and it will be just around the corner to climb the western nine-grade lotus platform.

So, I hope you can act quickly and let go! Try it if you don't believe it. It's not fake at all!

放生就是救命，就是积德，就是有求必应！你不妨做个试验，非常灵验！

---- 诸葛长青

  答：放生的道理是：

  （一）因果报应，如影随形、分毫不爽，种什么因得什么果是亘古不变的真理。放生就是救人家的命，种了善因，必得善果，阻碍批评放生就是妨害人家救命，种了恶因，必得恶果。

　　（二）天地万物众生，皆有灵性，皆知趋吉避凶，能会贪生怕死，皆有悲欢喜怒，今朝放生，物类皆知感恩图报！

　　（三）天地万物众生，皆本具佛性，与我相比无二无别，只是因为宿业深重，不幸沦为异类畜生，一旦业障消除，同样可以证成佛果。今朝放生，等于救一未来佛！

　　（四）天地万物众生与我，在无始以来的轮回中，皆曾经互为手足亲眷。今朝放生，等于救自己的亲人！

   （五）天地万物众生与我，在过去的轮回中，皆曾经互为冤家仇敌。今朝放生，正可解冤释仇，不再冤冤相报！

高僧大德云： 

   一、放生就是救命。 放生就是救护那些被擒、被抓、将被宰杀、命在垂危的众生的命，而众生最宝贵的就是自己的生命得以重拾生机，救他们的命，他们感激最深，所以功德至大！ 
    二、放生就是还债。 我们今生及累劫以来所造的杀业早已无量无边，放生就是出钱、出力来救赎众生的性命，以偿还以前我们所积欠无数的杀债。 
    三、放生就是救急。 放生与其他的功德不一样，是救命在旦夕，随时将被宰杀的生命得以重拾生机，是千钩一发、刻不容缓的行动，就好像是医院的急诊急救一般，一个刹那、一全行动便可挽救成千上万无数的生命，所以功德至深。 
    四、放生就是慈悲。 佛心就是大慈悲心，慈悲心是学佛的根本，而放生则是为了解除众生的苦难，起慈悲心予以救赎的一种行为。放生可以长养我们的慈悲心，在放生的过程中，慈悲心获得最大的培养。常常放生，慈悲心常常滋长，与佛心更相契，与佛更容易感应道交，学佛道业更容易成就。 
    五、放生就是觉悟。 任何一个众生的佛性与我相比毫无或缺，无二无别，因而每一个生命都是平等珍贵的。在放生中让我们觉悟到众生皆知贪生怕死，皆知趋吉避凶，皆有喜怒哀乐，与我相比，完全相同；众生更皆具备真如佛性，一旦业尽情空，未来皆能成佛，所以救一众生如同救一佛子，更等于救一未来佛。 
    六、放生就是实践。 与其空口说得万言，不如老实行得一字，学佛最重要的就是实践。在放生真实的行动中，真正去培养慈悲，真正去解救生命，真正去为众生皈依、念佛、忏悔、回向，真正去体会众生平等一如、皆具佛性、皆能成佛的道理，真正做到自利利他，这样的修行才能真正得到利益。 
    七、放生就是积极。 吃素与放生是学佛人行持上极重要的二件事。但吃素只是止恶。是消极地不再造杀业，不再积欠新的杀债；而放生却是扬善，是积极地救赎生命，偿还以前所欠的杀债。吃素而不放生，以前欠的杀业还是有果报的；放生而不吃素，所修得的功德又因为吃肉杀生都赔光了。所以吃素放生是一体的二面，需要相辅相成的，同时并行，效果才会显著。 
    八、放生就是方便。 我们当天放生，当天无数身陷牢笼的众生马上获得了自由，无数濒临死亡的生命马上重拾了生机，无限的功德当天马上可以获得。并且不管一人多人、钱少钱多、任何时间、任何地点，只要发慈悲心，任何人都可以进行放生。放生不像其他功德，不需要等待机缘，自己可以主动进行；不需要依赖别人，自己可以独立完成；千千万万人一生中做不到的功德，我们可以经由放生短短的时间内独自一人完全成就，若更能以此广为提倡，功德更加不可思议，所以放生功德最为第一，非其他小善所能比！ 
    九、放生就是改命。 我们今生的命运遭遇是因为多生以来所造就无数的善恶因缘所呈现的一个结果，造善因就得善果，造恶因就得恶果。但未来的命运却完全掌握在我们自己的手中。通过积福行善，诚心忏悔，我们的命运可以完全改变过来。而放生的功德最大，既直接又快速，改变命运的力量最为显著。 
    十、放生就是解冤。 每一个众生在多生累劫以来，都曾经与我们结过冤仇，冤仇既结，怀恨在心，必当伺机报复。而放生正可以解冤释结，化敌为友，避免彼此的冤冤相报！ 
    十一、放生就是消灾。 灾难不幸之所以发生，都是源于我们以前所结的冤业、所造的杀业而来。放生解救众生的命，免除了众生的死难，也同时消除了我们的宿业，免除了未来原本应该偿受不幸的业报，这是因果必然的道理。 
    十二、放生就是治病。 其实疾病绝症之所以发生，就是因为以前我们杀生所感召的杀业而来。既造杀因必结杀果，既造成杀业必受杀报，解决之道就是放生，偿还杀债，消除了疾病根本的杀因，病苦自然好转。 
    十三、放生就是救亲。 每一个众生在无始的轮回中，都曾与我们互为父母、子女、手足、亲眷，只因彼此业缘不同，今朝我幸而为人，彼不幸沦为畜牲，放生就是救拔我们累世以来的亲友眷属，使其重拾生机，安享天年！ 
    十四、放生就是延寿。 每个人都希望长寿，放生救赎生命，延长了无数众生的生命。也必然同时延长了自己的寿命，这是因果永恒不变的真理。 
    十五、放生就是福善。 救人一命胜造七级浮屠，而每一条生命都是平等珍贵的，所以救一众生，功德已无量无边，更何况救众多生命！放生就是积最大的福！放生就是行最大的善；积福行善，所有功德，莫过放生！ 
    十六、放生能助生西。 放生三施俱全，财布施、法布施、无畏布施，放生一举尽得。修行人以念佛为正行，以放生为助行；念佛为主，放生为辅，如此修行，如顺风之帆、顺水之舟，用力少而成效多，以此无上殊胜的功德回向往生西方极乐世界，往生大业必能稳操胜券，高登西方九品莲台必是指日可待。 

所以，愿大家快快行动起来，多行放生吧！不信你试试，一点也不假的！

    诸恶莫作，众善奉行。持之以恒、有求必应 。
