WED '09: 'LIFE RELEASE' at Manila Bay

Buddhists call for release of animals that have been held captive or are about to meet their cruel demise...

Life is the best gift one could give to a sentient being... and Life Release is giving sentient beings their freedom, their lives.

It is said that Life release is…

…saving lives …paying back debts …helping an emergency …compassion...realizing awareness practice …accumulating merits …convenient...changing one's destiny …removing bad karmic relationships …removing ill fortune ...healing sicknesses …saving family and relatives…extending one's life ...a blessing ….helping one be born in Buddha Pureland.

According to the Sutra of Ksitigarbha, the innumerable benefits of Life Release includes the following:

(1) Long life (2) Self-arising compassion (3) Good spirits befriending you (4) One feels at home and happy with animals (5) Innumerable merits (6) Respect from peers (7) No sickness and troubles (8) Happiness and luck (9) Belief in the Buddha path for all of one's life (10) One will not be separated from the Triple Gem (11) Eventual attainment of Bodhi (12) Long life of one's guru and wishing one's best to one's guru (13) Birth in a Buddha Pureland.

YOU ARE ALL CORDIALLY INVITED to the Life Release Ceremony on June 6, 8 a.m., at Manila Bay where we will be releasing hundreds of birds and fishes fashioned in the Tibetan ceremonial way. Donations are welcome for the purchase of more fishes and birds (endemic species will be only used to ensure that animals survive in the wild and to preserve the ecological balance).
