Why do people release snakes? Aren't snakes poisonous to people and shouldn't they be killed? Please explain. Thank you.

First of all, snakes or animals have actually done something wrong in their last lives. Karen was rewarded for animals. Snakes, for example, may have been vicious and ignorant in their previous lives. It will be many lifetimes before it is possible to invest in other things. So you can't kill, stop killing and create evil causes, which will affect your own consequences, that is, you have done something wrong. Some people who come to them are probably their relatives in a lifetime.

Q: Why do you want to release them? What are the benefits of releasing animals?

1) Releasing is an act of giving, giving by law and giving without fear, all of which have boundless merits and can touch the world.

2) Wealth is earned, wisdom is earned, and strength and energy are fearless.

3) Releasing can cultivate our compassion, and often releasing can help us eliminate disasters and prolong life (of course, we can also pray for Guanyin Bodhisattva to apply the merits of releasing to what we need, such as eliminating evil obstacles or seeking things).

Q: Who needs to be released in particular?

Buddhists, middle-aged and elderly people, the elderly, the sick and the disabled, people who are filial to their parents. There are also people who are engaged in the following occupations: kitchen workers, cooks, surgeons, abortion doctors, burial workers, insecticidal cleaners, butchers in chicken farms and pig farms, criminal police, forensic doctors, anatomists and so on. Always let them out to avoid danger, of course, it is best to find opportunities to change jobs.

Q: When can it be released?

It can be put all year round, and it is best to choose sunny days, where the sunshine is the most abundant and the effect is the best. Try to avoid releasing them at night, and they can be released in rainy days. On the birthday, or on New Year's Eve, or on the fifteenth day of the first month, Buddha and Bodhisattva win the day, and the release effect is particularly good. In addition, it is also very helpful to release them before the exam, before hospitalization, before surgery, and when they are seriously ill and just have an accident.

Q: Which animals should be released?

The purpose of releasing fish is to save people, so anyone who wants to be eaten, killed or threatened by life can be released. Among them, releasing fish is more common, and the fish should not be too small, generally larger than a slap.

Q: Where can I release them?

In the selection of releasing sites, the survival of releasing life should be ensured as much as possible (that is, the adaptability of releasing species to releasing waters, whether there is large-scale fishing in releasing sites, etc.). ).

Q: Can I order the fish to be released in advance?

1) We should cultivate the habit of buying and putting them by ourselves often.

2) release fish that are threatened by life, and don't order fish from fishmongers many days in advance. Such fish are often superfluous to you. It is better to book only half a day in advance, 1 day. Don't buy too small fish in pursuit of quantity. This kind of fish may have been specially reserved for release by fishmongers.

Q: How to release them?

1) It is better to ask your family for money than to release them. If you are paying for others, you can pray to the Buddha and Bodhisattva for "Please forgive the Bodhisattva and release YYY with my XXX's money", or you can pray before the Buddha that "I XXX will give my own money ZZZ (the name of the releaser) to YYY as his own money".

2) It is best to let others know the release amount, not to release it, but if the other party doesn't believe it at all, it will be born, and it is better not to say it.

3) release on behalf of family members. If the family members don't believe or object, the effect will be discounted, but it's better than not letting go.

4) release for generations. Don't mention your name at the release site. If you often report or think of your own name, your achievements will be counted as a part of yourself. Just say how much someone (the name of the person who put the fish) paid and how much fish you put. See the release ceremony for details.
