What are the rules for releasing turtles?

Question 1: Are there any particularities in releasing turtles? 1. The release of animals must be reasonable and cannot be done casually. When choosing turtle species, be aware that turtles such as Brazilian turtles, donuts, and painted turtles must not be released into the wild. They are alien species that are extremely harmful to native species. If you want to release them, we highly recommend our native turtle species in China, such as tortoises, flowered turtles, eagle-billed turtles, yellow-margined turtles, closed-shell turtles, etc. The release of foreign turtle species is not recommended as it poses risks to the ecological environment and native species.

2 When releasing a turtle, you need to know the species of the turtle and its living environment in its original place, so that you can release it well. If the environment is not suitable, released turtles will die in the wild.

3 The temperature must be suitable, and the extreme temperatures in winter and summer should be similar to those in the turtle’s original habitat. Mainly because some turtles cannot adapt to the colder water temperatures in some areas, but are generally adaptable to hot weather. lzIf you are in the northern region, you should choose relatively cold-resistant turtle species such as painted turtles, grass turtles, musk turtles, and map turtles for release (exotic painted turtles, musk turtles, and map turtles are not recommended here).

4 Bodies of water are important. It is best to release them into permanent water bodies in wild environments such as reservoirs and mountain lakes (perennial water bodies that never dry up). Do not release them into fish ponds, parks, heavily polluted rivers and other water bodies. At the same time, the water body does not freeze through in winter, that is, it does not freeze completely, allowing turtles to survive hibernation.

5 The choice of ecological environment is also very important. It is best to release the animals in a place with no or few people. The surrounding vegetation is lush and has a good and stable ecological environment all year round. Reservoirs are a good choice.

The following are some Feng Shui tips:

1 It is best to insist on long-term release of animals

2 If conditions permit, you can ask a master or monk to recite it (it is best to do it yourself)

3 Time: It is more special to release animals on the eighth, fifteenth, twenty-fifth, thirtieth day of each month or the anniversaries of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, especially in the month of Shenbian (the first month of the Tibetan calendar), which has greater merit. . But they can also be released from time to time.

4 Location: It is advisable to release the animals in ponds, waters, and mountains away from hunting, where the released living beings can live happily and live long lives.

5 Categories: Insects, fish, birds, livestock, etc. The larger the body of the living being released, the greater the merit gained.

6 Method: Use gentle movements. If there are nectar pills, Jiejie pills, etc., dissolve them in the water in advance and sprinkle them on the animals before releasing them. It is even more special to use Tantric "Tie Liberation" to bless it on top.

7 Motivation: You should have a pure intention to benefit all living beings, and pray wholeheartedly for their temporary happiness and ultimate liberation.

Question 2: What’s the point of releasing turtles? No matter what you release, the merits are immeasurable. Buddhism says: Among all merits, life release ranks first.

Releasing turtles has special significance for longevity. Because the tortoise itself is long-lived, you save it and let it live a long life, otherwise it will be killed. According to the law of cause and effect, you will get the result of longevity.

When releasing a life, it is best to take three refuges for it, which is to recite the refuge text:

Take refuge in the Buddha and avoid falling into hell.

Take refuge in the Dharma and avoid becoming a hungry ghost.

Take refuge in the Sangha and avoid falling into other lives.

Then recite for it: Namo (sound: Namo) Amitabha. Then let it go.

Question 3: What are the requirements for releasing turtles? It is best not to release turtles. Because many people released turtles, there were no fish or shrimps in the lake after a few years, because turtles are omnivores. It can eat anything that can be eaten. Turtles also reproduce very quickly. In a few years, there will only be turtles and no other living creatures in the lake. In some places, governments drug them in large quantities to kill them. This is something I saw on the news a few years ago. It was the kindness of many people that set them free. But have you ever thought about the consequences of releasing it? Any animal that threatens humans will eventually die a good death. If you have a kind heart, then keep it yourself. I have seen some places where, after a few years since turtles appeared, the lakes were covered with turtles. They climbed to the shore to bask in the sun and ended up in piles.

The reason for this isn't that there are too many of them. Without folding, there would be no place to bask in the sun. Sooner or later, everything edible in the lake will be eaten up. If you put a turtle in, it will lay at least ten eggs at a time. Its children will have children again. In five years, there will be thousands of turtles in the lake. When they have no food, who can feed them? Your good intentions are nothing more than bringing them a dead end.

Question 4: What’s the point of releasing turtles? Releasing animals has always been something that people who believe in Buddhism often do, because the Buddha said that releasing animals is equivalent to accumulating immeasurable merit, so if you want to practice well, releasing animals is a must. Among them, the release of turtles is the most popular.

The release must be reasonable and cannot be released casually. Many turtles have strong reproductive power. Once released unreasonably, it may harm the ecological balance of the area. , so pay attention; the temperature must be well controlled.

If the temperature is too different from the turtle’s original place, it may harm the turtle; the choice of water body and ecological environment is also very important, not only It’s about a life’s survival in a new place.

It’s also about your prayers and merit accumulation, so donors please be careful. Of course there is release, and there is also the release ritual. Before releasing lives, you need to burn incense in front of the Buddha, worship the Buddha, and make wishes and pray.

You can choose a better incense, but avoid inferior incense that is harmful to chemicals. Use it, so it is very necessary to buy a good incense. If you are interested, I suggest you go to the phaseless copper stove to customize a blessing incense

to assist you and bless you. blessing.

Amitabha!

Question 5: What are the requirements for releasing turtles? Firstly, foreign species should not be released to ensure that they will not affect the local environment. Secondly, the release should ensure that the released turtles can survive, otherwise they will be "released to death". Subtropical species It cannot be released in temperate zones, and tortoises cannot be thrown into the sea. Choose a suitable season. If you throw them out in winter, they will die. Choose a suitable location, preferably with lush water and grass, so that the turtle can have enough food and shelter.

Question 6: What are the taboos for releasing wild animals? Remember not to release wild animals randomly 1. It is best to "buy randomly" at the market or supermarket. When purchasing, you should quietly go to the market or supermarket and wait to buy turtles, fish, loaches, frogs, birds, snakes, earthworms, etc. that are about to be bought by others and release them (do not let others catch and prepare them for you alone. If you order in advance, some people will go out of their way to catch and sell them, which is equivalent to indirect killing).

Special note: If you learn that a farmer has suddenly found out with kindness, accepts the suggestion and swears not to breed anymore, and you have raised enough funds, you can purchase the fish, fox, turtle, etc. they have raised in one go and release them into the wild. . This has great merit.

2. Check the release location in advance. To release them, you need to release them to places away from people and generally not captured by others (mountains and forests, lakes, reservoirs, rivers, etc.), otherwise they will be captured again. Therefore, Zhuge Changqing suggested that everyone should investigate before releasing the animals: Where to release them? Is the release location safe? If the release site is a river, lake or sea, is it clean and pollution-free? If it is a mountain forest, is the forest vegetation dense? etc. Careful inspection is required to avoid hasty purchases and hasty releases.

3. According to your own financial ability, you can release animals in small or large quantities. Small release means allocating a certain amount of money to release animals every week or every month (you can choose Saturday or Sunday, so that the time is more leisurely). Large-scale life-saving means that in order to achieve your own goals, keep your family healthy, extend the life of your parents, etc., you should spend a large amount of money to release animals according to your own financial situation. Regardless of whether it is a major release or a small release, as long as you persevere, you will have great blessings.

4. If there is an emergency, your children are going to school, or you need to recover from a serious illness, etc., you can release it immediately and get immediate results. Big release means investing more money to release animals according to your own financial situation, and you will get immediate results! Practice has proved that a one-time release of wild animals will bring great blessings and immediate results, which will make you admire the miraculous effect of releasing wild animals! !

2. How to release animals?

1. If you have the conditions and time, you can release it yourself.

Freeing animals by yourself is not only fast and effective, but also allows you to experience the joy, happiness, and emotion after releasing animals. It is recommended that everyone release the animals themselves.

2. If it is inconvenient or time-consuming, you can entrust the release of animals. Entrusted release means that because you are busy or inconvenient to live in the city, you can hand over the release money to a nearby release organization or an online release organization (you can search for it, such as "Tianjin Amitao Release Group", etc.) and ask them to release the animals on your behalf. When releasing animals on your behalf, due to the large number of people, you may not be able to dedicate to your goal, so you must make a good deed at the same time. It is recommended to donate twice: once when you donate, and again after you know their release time.

3. If there are local organized life release activities, you can join the release organization, local Buddhist association, etc. But be careful not to place orders when purchasing. Instead, go to the market randomly to buy. Remember: after releasing the animals on site, you must return to your goal after releasing the animals together with everyone.

3. Where to release the animals?

1. The release location should be chosen to be “far away from humans, clean and tidy, and convenient for animals to survive.” For example, animals and birds can go to the mountains, and turtles and fish should go to places with water sources where they are not easy to catch.

2. The release area must be clean. For example, water sources must be clean, otherwise it is equal to murder.

3. Remember to stay away from crowds. Zhuge Changqing reminds those who are destined to release the animals: It is best to choose a place away from the crowd to release the animals, so as to "save people to the end". Otherwise, "you release the animals in the morning and others catch them in the afternoon", which will harm them.

4. Release of animals must comply with ritual procedures

1. Release of animals must comply with ritual procedures, especially dedication.

2. It is recommended to memorize this program.

3. It is best to recite the drill repeatedly before releasing the animals. It is better to release the animals after you are proficient.

4. If you are not familiar with it at first, you can print it out (copy it) and take it with you, and recite it when releasing animals.

5. When using it, you can recite it aloud or silently.

5. Specific procedures and rituals for releasing animals:

(1) After buying a released animal: Immediately send out the kind thoughts of "Namo Amitabha, I am going to release you, and you must live well" (You can recite it aloud or silently) until you reach the release location.

(2) On the way to release animals, you can silently recite the Buddha's name and think of the Buddha's light to shine on the released creatures.

(3) If the place is far away, you can complete the ritual at home or on the way (in the car) to the place where the animals are released. This can save time and you can release the animals directly when you arrive at the place.

(4) On-site ritual (5 steps):

1. To communicate with the Buddhist world and the divine world, first tell us who you are:

Here we are After finding the release site, first communicate with the Buddhist and divine realms when facing the things that are about to be released.

Before you prepare the items for release, recite the following silently in your mind:

Make a sound or recite silently: Namo Amitabha (3 times), Namo’s master Sakyamuni Buddha (3 times) (Bian), Namo Guanyin...gt; gt;

Question 7: Is there anything special about releasing a turtle when you are caught in bad luck and want to steal it? It is best not to let the turtle hibernate in artificial breeding, especially When winter is relatively long in the north, Burmese turtles generally cannot hibernate for more than three months, otherwise there is a risk of illness. Especially for turtles that have just been bought and have not been conditioned for less than half a year, hibernation is more dangerous.

If you must hibernate, sand is not a necessity, but the environment must maintain a certain humidity and temperature. In particular, the temperature should not be higher than 15 degrees or lower than 5 degrees for a long time. Turtles cannot hibernate deeply if the temperature is high and consume energy. If the temperature is lower than 5 degrees for a long time, the turtle will freeze. Generally, during hibernation, the turtle should be given a bath every two weeks to wake it up, but it must not be fed. At the same time, the turtle's condition should be checked. If the condition is not good, hibernation should be stopped decisively. Keep warm.

Burmese tortoises like a damp and quiet environment. For hibernation, you can choose a quiet corner and use a large container as a hibernation environment. When the temperature reaches 16-18 degrees, Burmese tortoises are basically inactive. At this time, they will hibernate in a dark environment. You can find them, put them in the environment you prepared, and cover them with a wet towel. Check once a week. A large cardboard box with a waterproof membrane on the bottom layer, then vermiculite, then hay. Usually Burmese tortoises will crawl inside to rest.

During hibernation, Burmese tortoises will burrow deep into the hay to hibernate. I will cover the top with a wet and soft towel and observe it once a week. Replenish water when it is necessary and replace moldy hay when it is necessary. Dry grass while checking the turtle for any abnormalities. Burmese tortoises with abnormalities must stop hibernating and switch to heated hibernation. Throughout the hibernation period, I will not intentionally disturb a hibernating turtle unless necessary for inspection. When the temperature rises in the coming year, Burmese tortoises will crawl out on their own, usually around March.

Question 8: Do you have to release a turtle if you catch it by the river? Are there any rules? If it is an invasive species (Brazilian turtle, snapping turtle, etc.), do not release it. If it is a native species, it is best to release it.

p>

If you are talking about religious considerations, as long as the turtle you catch is not a released turtle, it doesn’t matter.

Question 9: Are there any particular rules about releasing a turtle that has been raised for 20 years? Pay attention to the turtle you raise. If the species is not a native species, do not release it to avoid affecting the local ecological environment.

Question 10: What should you say when releasing a turtle? "Don't let anyone catch it again in the future"
