ANIMAL LIBERATION

Of all misgivings, killing is the worst. Of all meritorious deeds, life liberation is the best.

-The Sastra on Great Wisdom (Da Zhi Du Lun)

Liberated over $200 worth of eels and fish somewhere in Singapore really early this morning @ 7am...with the band of brothers...

Life liberation is the easiest way to dissolve negative karma. Because of this, our negative karma of many lifetimes readily manifests obstacles to obstruct us from liberating life. As many who criticise the practice are plain ignorant of its benefits, we should share with them the benefits out of Compassion, so as to benefit them. We have to be careful not to criticise (or to let others criticise) life liberation as it creates great negative karma. We should not discourage the practice without understanding as we will be preventing many lives from being liberated.

Before releasing them into their natural environment, we chanted mantras such as "Om Mani Padme Hum (the mantra of Compassion) . Lamas recited a special text for liberation .Holy days are preferred for animal liberation and the bigger the group, the more merits are created and shared amongst the sea creatures and other beings...

May all diligently liberate life.If one practises it long, it will lead to long life.If one has the Bodhicitta to help all beings,Even the heavens will help one when in difficulties.
-Maitreya Bodhisattva Blessed water also sprinkled on the sea creatures

Finally....the big release....letting them all go free

Sending out waves of compassion
All FREE ...at last..
detangling the rest of em eels.....

All beings treasure their lives the most. All Buddhas treasure all beings the most.If one saves other beings' lives, one fulfills the wishes of all Buddhas.-Avatamsaka Sutra (The Practice and Vows of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva)
