Sponsor Animal Life Release on Behalf of Those You Love!

“The benefits of saving the lives of other beings while praying for their happiness is beyond imagination: This practice is said to be the best way to prolong one’s own life, and is the most helpful act for living and deceased beings. The great master Atisha said that offering care to those in danger results in merit equal to meditating on emptiness endowed with compassion—the union of relative and absolute bodhichitta. Wherever ransoming the lives of others is performed, sickness among people and animals lessens, harvests are more abundant, and lives are longer; the moment of death leads more easily to higher rebirth for both the animal and the person who engages in ransoming, and this practice will eventually lead to supreme enlightenment.

May all sentient beings, endowed with consciousness

And the breath that supports their life,

Be freed of all that endangers their life and be relieved of their fears.

May all sentient beings, both myself and others,

Be freed from all obstacles that bring untimely death,

May we live for an extremely long time

And may every form of goodness and happiness be ours!”
