The benefits of releasing life, it is amazing and incredible .......

 放生的利益,真是神奇的不可思议.......

(Note: The author of this article, Sifu Liu Xu, has been advocating the release of sentient beings on the Internet for several years and has motivated tens of thousands of people to release their sentient beings, which is amazing! He has set an example for our fellow practitioners!)

　　The story is about a young couple who came to Guangzhou from the countryside to start their own business. The story is about a couple who come from the countryside to Guangzhou. For example, they cannot buy train tickets for New Year's Eve, they are robbed by a speeding car gang, and there are stories of kind-hearted neighbours. When I read these stories of miserable people, I thought, "Why don't they let go of their lives if they want to start a business." I have also seen too many people who are dying, and they suffer in countless ways, from festering backs; from excruciating pain; from wishing they were dying; from being tortured by their families and hospitals; from being embalmed before they die; from having their hearts pressed even after they die; from having their hearts pressed even after they die; from having your family's money in billions, but still not dying well. What are we all doing? Isn't it good to let go of life to give ourselves a sense of fulfilment when we are alive.

　　So far I have only confirmed that releasing life and chanting can make one live a life of freedom! And to die well! Letting go of life is indeed the fastest good deed in terms of present rewards, and because the fruit is so great, the present rewards must be quick too. We once released the life of a 92 year old woman who had been blessed with great goodness in her previous life, and although her family was poor, we released more than $6,000 to her. Watching this made me think of the same thing when my girlfriend and I came to Nanjing in 2003. There are too many people in the world who cherish their blessings and do not cultivate them. We had over 600 a month in 2003 and we had to let go of over 300, and now we have a house, children, a Master's care and a dojo. We never have too much money, nor do we lack it, especially not as much as we used to be afraid of lacking it. Sometimes when we make hundreds of thousands of dollars all at once, we still feel the need to provide for it immediately, otherwise it is very empty and we don't know how else to spend it apart from food and shelter.

　　My family's nanny, to whom I give 600 a month, gives 20 yuan a month for her release, but that's not bad. How many people understand that releasing life should be "big release" and "long release"? The purpose of a big release is to "repay the killing karma of a hundred lives", while the purpose of a long-term release is to cultivate compassion. "The only method of releasing life is to release it widely and for a long time. ------- This is the secret of releasing life that was first stated by Master Liangyi. How much killing can you dissolve by a few occasional drops of water?

　　I used to slander Tantric Buddhism, but then I saw too many Tantric masters who had spent their lives releasing life, and spent their lives advising people to release life, which gave me immense admiration and thus changed my slander into praise. I have also been reading articles by tantric masters on the subject of releasing life and have benefited greatly from them. Charmey Rinpoche spent his whole life releasing and advising people to release their lives, and at the end of his life he was reborn in the Western bliss world. The number of loaches released each year at the Five Minds Buddhist College is in the tens of tons, which is astonishing and has never been heard of in the past or present. Sodarji Khenpo's release text has persuaded countless people across the country to release their lives. The Tantric masters released 150,000 yuan a day in Guangzhou one time and 100 million lives a day in Dongguan another time, a very big gesture. This has caused some small-minded and compassionless people to slander them.

　　I once advised a gambler to release a small number of lives, but the gambler still went gambling after releasing a small number of lives many times, but it was obvious that the god of wealth was taking care of him, and he felt that his hand was in good hands and won several games in a row. This reminds me of a story ------ When a group of robbers were being chased after a robbery, they were about to be caught up by hordes of officers and soldiers. The other robbers didn't even listen and continued to run. One robber told him, "The Bodhisattva of the Goddess of Mercy will not bless us robbers". He had no other choice and could not run, so he just stood there and really chanted the Goddess of Mercy. The officials chased him until all the robbers were brought back, but they spared him. The other robbers said, "Why didn't they arrest that robber? The officer said, "That is the crippled Goddess of Mercy, who would dare to arrest him?

　　The only thing I have achieved is that I have managed to warm up my heart, which was cold, and I know that if I don't do it again, hell will be waiting for me. I know to give my sister some Hong Kong dollars regularly, I know to call my parents every day to let them hear their children laugh and cry, I know to be grateful to my wife and love her; I can see the eyes of animals now. I know to fear the emptiness of having too much money on me and not knowing how to use it.

　　That day, I once released the life of a person who had passed away, and after I had done so, I felt that I was letting off ten thousand golden rays of light, and that everything came true afterwards. One day I read the words of Venerable Jingkong, "If you earn enough money to last, earn a year's worth of money and then go and chant for three years. You don't have to be afraid of not having a job when you come out, because the Buddha's power is so incredible that after three years of chanting, you can still chant for seven years. I was very happy to hear this, and I thought several times that I would make some money to go and chant, and then when the stock market had just entered the initial bull market, and there was no mega opportunity, I already had a little bit of money, and a master invited me to his dojo to serve the sentient beings, and when I had no money, I could provide food and accommodation for me, and after I went, the stock appeared to rise greatly, and I made a lot of money, and I could live for a long time, and also often provide for the dojo.

　　In everything I do, when I have a thought, my mind must immediately think of something. It's definitely not something that takes a while to happen after I think about it, but it's something that comes to me as soon as I think about it, without any delay. Of course there are times when I think bad thoughts, but they are never fulfilled right away because the Buddha only enriches good thoughts, not evil ones.

　　Today, I did not release any life, so I searched and printed the article on the consequences of killing life at home, and typed up two copies, one for the consequences of killing fish and one for the consequences of killing pigs and chickens. This is something to take a few copies with you when you release your life in future, and give them to fish sellers and chicken and duck sellers. We have very many fish and chicken killings in this city, and if a city kills a lot of a certain type of animal, or is even famous for producing a certain type of animal, then please don't eat the meat of such animals, and beware of falling into this terrible common karma. When the common karma is ripe, you will definitely have to pay it back, and most of the people in the whole city will pay it back, and you will definitely not be able to escape by then. Unless you have already become a Buddha, and although you pay your debt, you do not suffer, and you can perform it for all sentient beings to become enlightened. This is the warning given to us by the story of the destruction of the Sakya clan by the King of Liuli, when the common karma is ripe and all the Sakyas are destroyed, even the Buddha who has already become a Buddha and played the fish head three times back then had a headache for three days.

　　When releasing sparrows, I also like to have a bottle of vajra sand with me and sprinkle one or two grains on dead sparrows and other animals. If you release a thousand sparrows, maybe seven or eight will die if it is better, dig a small hole to make a temporary grave, sprinkle a little vajra sand, recite the six vajra mantras or the Buddha's name seven times, and bury the sparrows. Vajra sand is very effective in helping people to pass on to the next life, and there are often cases of people being helped to do so by simply sprinkling vajra sand on the top of their heads and necks.

　　When releasing animals, you can ask the stall owner to give you a number of animals, but if he refuses to do so, do not worry; if you encounter some unfavourable things when releasing animals, such as the stall owner refuses to sell them to you and just goes to kill them, or the price is not agreed, or the stall owner deliberately raises the price, do not worry, release the animals for joy, for compassion, and fear worry to interfere.

　　The release of life should be done after a period of time, there is a reduction in greed and anger, such as less angry, softer and softer heart; and the blessings should be significantly increased, such as the heart wants to achieve, everything is smooth; wisdom increases, determination increases, will not hear others say anything feel justified (soft ears), and look at things more can see the root, business is more sober analysis of the form, good at taking advantage of the situation The most important thing is to wait for opportunities. For example, in order to build an urban garden, Li Ka-shing spent more than 20 years, acquiring and merging a number of companies real estate, before completing his wish. This is wisdom, determination and patience. If we look at the entrepreneurs around us, we can see the difference in wisdom between those who are pulled to do Amway today and those who are pulled to speculate in stocks tomorrow.

    （注：本文作者刘旭师兄几年来在网上倡导放生，已带动了数万人放生，令人赞叹！为我们同修树立了楷模!）

　　刚才在搜索“感人的故事”，这五个字，就搜索到了一个故事---“住在我隔壁储藏室的小夫妻”，这个故事是说一对从农村来广州的小夫妻的生活，创业生活，很艰苦，也没有辉煌，没有什么完美令人心安的结局，真实而平常。比如过年买不到火车票，出门被飞车党抢劫，还有好心的邻居的故事。看了这些苦命人，我就想“他们想创业为什么不放生呢。”还有我也看过太多临死的人，他们的痛苦有无数种，有背部溃烂的；有疼痛无比的；有希望快死的；有被家属和医院折磨的；有没死就被打防腐剂的；有死了还被按压心脏的；任你家财亿万，仍是不得好死。大家都在忙什么，活着的时候放生给自己一点充实感不好吗。

　　目前我还只确认放生和念佛可以让人活得很自在！也死得很自在！放生确实是现报最快的善举，因为果报殊胜，所以现报也一定很快。我们曾经给一个92岁的老太太放生，老太太前世福分善根很大，虽然家穷，却有我们给放生6000多元，她死的时候无痛苦，不吃喝，在佛号声中断气，有几十个念佛人陪他32天。看后让我想到了2003年，我和女朋友来南京的时候，也是一样的。天下有太多的人，惜福不培福，我们2003年每月有600多，我们放生要放掉300多，现在是有房子，有孩子，有师父关爱，有道场。钱我们永远不多，也不缺，尤其是不象以前那么怕缺钱了。有时候一下子赚了几十万，还会觉得要马上供养出去，否则很空虚，不知道吃住以外还要如何用。

　　我家的保姆，每月我也是给他600，她每月放生20元，不过也算不错了。有几人个理解放生要“大放”和“长期放”呢？大放是要“一生还百生杀业”，长期放的目的是长养慈悲心。“放生之法，唯广与久”-------这个是藕益大师第一次说出的放生秘诀。 你靠偶尔的几滴水能化解多少杀业呢？

　　放生破掉了我的门户之见，我以前诽谤过密宗，但是后来我看到太多的密宗大德毕生放生，毕生劝人放生，让我产生无比的敬仰，从而变诽谤为赞叹。并且不断翻阅密宗大德关于放生的文章，获益非浅。恰美仁波切毕生放生并劝人放生，临终直生西方极乐世界。五明佛学院每年放生泥鳅以几十吨来记数，让人叹为观止，古今都未曾听说有如此数量，我听到就学还是会的，也曾一次放生泥鳅2。5吨。索达吉堪布的放生文，劝化了全国无数人放生。密宗大德上师某次在广州一天放15万元，某次在东莞一天放一亿条生命，手笔甚大。让一些心量小，无慈悲心的人大肆诽谤。

　　我曾经劝告一个赌鬼放生，赌鬼多次少量放生以后仍然去赌博，却是是明显有财神关照，自己感觉手风大顺，连赢几场。这让我想到一个故事------一伙强盗打劫后被追捕，马上就要被成群的官兵追上，有个强盗腿坏了，跑不动，就劝告其他强盗：”不如念观世音菩萨，别跑了”。其他强盗听都不听继续跑，有一强盗告诉他：“观世音菩萨不会保佑我们强盗的”。他无其他办法，也不能跑，就索性站在那里真的念观世音菩萨，官兵一直追到所有强盗，统统带回，惟独放过了他。其他强盗说，怎么不抓那个强盗？官兵说：”那是瘸腿观音，谁人敢抓？

　　学佛三年多，我没有什么成就，唯一个成就就是我硬是把自己原本冰冷的心暖回来了，我知道如果我再不暖回来，地狱等着我了。我知道经常给妹妹一些港币了，我知道每天打电话让父母听听孩子的笑声和哭声了，我知道感激老婆，疼老婆了；我看得懂动物的眼神了。我知道怕身上有太多的钱却不知道如何用的空虚感了。

　　那天，我曾经给一个往生的人放生，放过之后，我觉得自己身放万道金光，而后任何事情都心想事成。某天看到净空法师讲的”赚的钱如果够使用，就赚一年钱，而后去念佛三年。出来不用怕没有工作，因为佛力加持不可思议，念佛三年出来以后，再赚钱还能念佛七年“。我听后非常欢喜，就想过几次要赚点钱去念佛，而后在股票市场刚刚初步进入牛市，并没有特大机会的时候，我就已经有了一点点钱，并且有师父邀请我去他的道场服务众生，无钱时候可以供我吃住，我去了以后，股票出现大涨，赚了很多，可以长住，并且也经常供养道场。

　　我做任何事情，有了念头就一定马上心想事成。绝对不是想了以后还要一段时间，而是想了就缘现前，决不耽搁。当然有时候我还会想坏念头，却绝对不会马上兑现，因为佛只加持善念，不会成全恶念。

　　今天没有放生，就在家里搜索和打印了杀生果报的文章，共打了两份，一份是杀鱼的果报，一份是杀猪鸡的果报。这以后放生的时候要带几份，发给卖鱼人和卖鸡鸭的人，我们这个城市杀鱼和杀鸡非常多，如果一个城市杀某类动物很多，甚至以生产某类动物出名，那么请您千万别吃这类动物的肉，小心掉进这个可怕的共业里面去，等到共业成熟，一定要还，全城多数的人都还，你到时候也一定无法逃脱。除非您已经成佛，虽然还债，却不痛苦，还能表演给众生，让众生觉悟。 这就是琉璃王灭释加族的故事给我们的警示，当共业成熟的时候，所有释加族被灭，即使是已经成佛，当年弹了三下鱼头的佛，也头疼三天。

　　放生的时候，我还喜欢随身带有一瓶金刚沙，给死的麻雀和其他动物撒一粒两粒，如果放生千只麻雀，可能比较好的话也会死七八只，挖一个小坑做临时坟，撒下一点金刚沙，念七声六道金刚咒或佛号，埋了麻雀就好。金刚沙在助念往生的过程中功效非凡，经常有为人助念，仅仅是在头顶和脖子撒金刚沙就感应殊胜的公案。

　　放生的时候，可让摊主随喜若干动物，若不肯随喜，不可烦恼；若放生时候遇到若干不顺心事情，如摊主不肯卖给你，只顾去杀，或者价钱谈不拢，或者摊主故意高抬价格，千万别烦恼，放生为的欢喜，为养慈悲，就怕烦恼来干扰。

　　放生应该在发心放一段以后，出现贪嗔痴减少的情况，比如比较不爱生气了，心比较软，比较柔和了；并且福分要明显增加，比如心想事成，事事顺心；智慧增加，定力增加，不会听到别人说什么都觉得有道理（耳根子软），并且看事情比较能看到根本，做生意比较能清醒的分析形式，善于借势，等待机会这样。 比如李嘉诚为了建造一个都市花园，共用了20几年，收购兼并多家公司地产，才完成心愿。这就是智慧，定力，忍辱。再看我们身边福薄的创业者，今天被人拉着去做安利；明天又被人拉着去炒股票，其智慧之差别如同天壤。
