(An Excerpt)
REQUESTING OTHERS TO PERFORM LIFE LIBERATION ON OUR BEHALF
Question: Master Lu, due to certain constraints, some overseas practitioners often request fellow practitioners in China to perform life liberation on their behalf. Therefore, it mainly encompasses the Giving of Wealth among the three forms of Giving.
Besides performing recitation, is there any other way for the overseas practitioners to perfect their merits from performing life liberation?
Answer: What makes you think that it only encompasses the Giving of Wealth? Performing life liberation is an act that is complete with the three forms of giving (Giving of Wealth, Dharma and Fearlessness). Don’t you think you are practising the Giving of Wealth when you pay for the fish you release? (Yes.)
When you show by example by performing good deeds and influence others to do the same, isn’t that the Giving of Dharma? (Yes.) When you perform life liberation in person, isn’t that the Giving of Fearlessness? (Yes.)
Ok. (Sorry for being ignorant. Is it the same when we ask others to perform life liberation on our behalf?) Yes. In this case, as the Giving of Fearlessness might be lesser, you may want to work harder to propagate Buddhism and help others. The idea behind it is the same.
