destined to be killed.

According to the Ten Wheels Sutra of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, engage in such noble deeds of releasing lives, the
privileged ones will be well-regarded by others; bereft of disturbing thoughts, illnesses; unrelated to unsound
conditions and poverty; become beneficiary of peace, prosperity, good health, longevity and contentmen t; not be
separated from the three jewels in future lives and will ultimately lead to the attainment of Buddhahood.

The unimaginable benefits of releasing lives are described in different Sutras and Tantras taught by the Buddha
"Among all negative karma, that for killing is the heaviest. Among all positive karma, that for releasing life is the highest."
May one and all follow this most meritorious path and benefit all living beings.
