【第二三車烏魚搶救圓滿】(幫助園區就是讓更多物命獲救)
【懇請支持年節大量前來求救的物命: 肉羊、雞隻、甲魚】
【Please continue reading for English version】

一 蓮友真實感應

1. 1/12(日)傍晚搶救三車烏魚，先生是從事保險業務的師姐 ，於現場分享，自從參加園區的救生以來，不到三個月的時間，先生工作上的業務越來越順利。以前先生總是必須外出找客戶，現在竟然是客戶自動上門找他。使得師姐現在信心滿滿，對救生護生更具信心。

2. 一位從事期貨買賣的師兄，非常喜歡參加園區小牛寶搶救活動，每次只要園區發出小牛寶求救的訊息，該師兄幾乎從未缺席。也與園區的師兄姐分享，搶救小牛使其工作越來越順利，足見救生護生確實可以增加個人正財庫的能量！

3. 某蓮友，初次看到園區的救生活動非常喜悅，每月皆發心萬元以上的款項搶救物命，短短半年，原本無論如何努力都無法升官加級的工作，竟然馬上跳升為該公司最核心人物，得以接近最高層，成為該企業紅人。

提升為企業老闆最為得意的助手，該師兄事務逐漸繁重，逐漸離開救生護生，轉向神明問事，雖有其他師兄姐的勸慰，但該師兄就是認為問事很好，對救生護生不再具有強大的信心。一年後，該師兄竟於洽公途中發生事故，結束年輕的生命，讓蓮友不甚唏噓。

4. 某蓮友擔任大學老師，對園區呼籲的動物搶救深感興趣，總是將半數以上的薪水拿出救生護生，長久下來學校的排課也越來越輕鬆，竟然一個星期只需上課一天，讓該老師大呼救生護生功德福田不可思議！

過著舒服快樂日子的該老師，有天接到系上通知，下學期竟然排了四天課，也就是一星期必須上課四天，正納悶中，忽然接到家中老母的電話，要他回家簽字，因為母親早已計畫為其購買一棟六百多萬的樓房，而此位老師卻渾然不知。福報正大幅消耗中！

此蓮友並未氣餒，隔天即刻再接再勵搶救更多性命，一星期後接到助理打過來的電話，因為調課需要，其課程修改為兩天，雖不如過往輕鬆，但救生功德確實立即顯現，翻轉不順與障礙！

二 學會分享

天律明訂放生，一可增延福壽、二則常保身體健康、三則禍劫遠離、四求子得子、五家門隆昌子孫賢達、六吉神常祐、七智慧顯現、八貴人相助、九事業經營長長久久、十臨終之際往生極樂淨土，故世人應皆多行持。

學會也於此與師兄姐分享，只要時時刻刻將眾生的苦放在心上，諸佛菩薩與護法天龍必將師兄姐的苦放在心上，加持護佑之，如是因如是果。

三 園區呼籲

距離農曆年已剩不到十天的時間，年貨大街已然啟動，代表大多數養大成隻的物命，正快速送往屠宰場飽受活殺之苦。 懇請師兄姐的支持與鼓勵，讓: 
A 周日(1/19)即將啟動的基隆和平島海水族救生 
B 周一(1/20)即將搶救的一車雞隻，每隻大公雞市價300 
C 週二(1/21)即將搶救的一池甲魚，每隻甲魚市價180
D 最重要的是，臨時要攔截一車三十隻肉羊，每隻市價一萬元(1/21)

請求師兄姐的支持，讓牠們得以逃離此生的殺劫，肉雞甲魚與肉羊，快樂回歸園區的懷抱！

【Completion of the 2nd and 3rd truck of mullets】(help the sanctuary to rescue more animals in need)
【Please support the large-scale rescue of Lunar New Year: goats, chicken, softshell turtles】

(I) True response of our supporters

1. A supporter joined our rescue of three trucks of mullets on 12 Jan (Sun) evening shared her story with us at scene. Her husband works at an insurance company. Ever since she has joined the sanctuary to save animals, her husband's work is progressing more smoothly in less than three-month time. In contrary to his previous experience, clients now approach him at his company for business. This makes our supporters full of confidence now and believe more in life liberation and protection.

2. A supporter is working in the stock exchange market, who is extremely fond of joining our rescue of calves. He seldomly misses our rescue whenever we appealed for calves every single time. He also shares with us that he works more smoothly due to the blessings of rescue of calves. The blessings of life liberation and protection indeed improve one's earnings from a proper way!

3. We had a supporter who supported us with more than TWD$10,000 every month when he first delightedly saw our appeal for animal rescue. In just half a year, he promoted to a position that was core to his company; he could never take the role how matter how hard he worked before supporting life liberation and protection.

Being the assistant for his boss, he became busy with work and faded away from life liberation and protection. Instead, he turned to relying on fortune telling that some supporters encouraged him to join life liberation and protection again. But he insisted in approaching fortune teller and lost his strong faith in life liberation and protection. A year later, many supporters were regret to know that he was passed away in a traffic accident on highway.

4. A supporter is a university lecturer, who is deeply interested in animal rescue appeal and supports life liberation and protection with more than half of his salaries. Ever since then, he only needed to teach once a week according to the teaching schedule from the faculty. This makes him recognize the inconceivable meritorious virtues and blessings of life liberation and protection!

He was happy to enjoy his leisure days. One day, he got a notice that he had to teach 4 days a week in the next term. Becoming busy again, he felt a bit upset and suddenly got a call from his mother, telling him to sign for a contract back at home. His mother had bought an apartment worth TWD$6 millions that his blessings were "used" quickly!

But he was not defeated that he immediately rescued more lives on the next day. He received a call from his assistant a week later that he only needed to teach two days a week due to rescheduling. Despite this was not as stressless as the past, the meritorious virtues of life-saving are indeed apparent and change unsmooth fate!

(II) Our sharing
The meritorious virtues of life liberation:
1. Increase blessings and longevity 
2. Stay healthy
3. Avoid disasters
4. Have children upon wish
5. Enjoy prosperity in the family 
6. Be protected by kind heavenly beings
7. Open wisdom
8. Receive assistance from benefactors
9. Operate proper businesses for a very long time
10. Be born in the Land of Ultimate Bliss upon desire when this life is over

With inconceivable meritorious virtues, people should always join and support life liberation.

We would also like to share that if we truly dedicate to remove pain from sentient beings, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhist Protectors will protect and bless us that our pain will also subside. We reap what we sow.

(III) Our appeal
In less than 10 days from the Lunar New Year, the market selling poor animals is on the run that many grown animals will suffer from the great pain of slaughter at slaughterhouses. They desperately NEED your support and encouragement:
A. Rescue sea animals on Heping Island, Keelung City on 19 Jan (Sun)
B. Rescue a truck of chicken on 20 Jan (Mon) with the rooster priced at TWD$300 each
C. Rescue a pond of softshell turtles on 21 Jan (Tue) with each turtle priced at TWD$180
D. More support is required for the rescue of a truck of 30 goats priced at TWD$10,000 on 21 Jan

Please show them your support by letting them escape death, and be home at our sanctuary happily!

Remember to dedicate the merits of saving and protecting animals to your karmic creditors and every sentient being in the world by invoking the aid of Buddha:

1. May all sentient beings leave suffering and attain bliss.
2. May the merit and virtue accrued from this work
Adorn the Buddha’s Pure Land,
Repaying the four kinds of kindness above
And aiding those suffering in the three paths below.
May those who see and hear of this
Bring forth the resolve for Bodhi
And when this life is over,
Be born together in the Land of Ultimate Bliss. 
3. Followed by any other specific best wishes for specific beings.
