放生的意義在於：如果我們尊重其他眾生生存的權利及自由，並且將牠們放生，那麼世界上的壓榨、戰爭、殺戮，就可以不用武力予以根除。如果我們能將自己仇恨、妒忌、侵略的念頭，轉為慈悲、祥和之心，並且將那些在死亡邊緣掙扎的眾生放生，那麼我們就能將自己及整個世界，從殺業所帶來的可怕後果中解脫出來。 |

The message of liberating the living: Oppression, wars, and killing can be rooted out without violence if we respect the right of beings to live and be free, and if we liberate them. By transforming our own hostile, aggressive, and jealous thoughts into hearts of compassion and peace; by liberating creatures whose lives are doomed, we can liberate ourselves and the world from the effects that killing karma brings about.
