Do more good deeds and release more animals. Is it a belief in Buddhism? Is there any merit?

Whether you have merit or not depends on whether you are willing to do so yourself.

For example, if you know that there is merit in letting people do good, then you can do it yourself. In order to get more merit, then this merit will be disturbed, even if there is, it is very limited. Because I am pregnant with the heart of "seeking work" and benefiting. To put it bluntly, it's still for yourself. This found "selfishness" and "egoism" from the root. Therefore, this merit will be disturbed, and the mind has decided that it is unclean and polluted, so even if there is merit, it is very limited.

In order to heal the wounded and rescue the dying, we can't bear to watch those whose lives have been cut and bombed, and we can't bear to watch the suffering people suffer. Hurry up and help them out of their misery, release the fish that is going to be killed and let it live a good life. These intentions are for the benefit of others, not for themselves, but for the relief of suffering, so the merits are naturally broad and not for themselves. The less selfish, the more advantages.

From this, we can understand what "merit" is all about. It depends on the intention and purpose of our actions. Although "for yourself" is small, it is big for all beings. Just like a man helping a beautiful girl in trouble, the man's mind determines whether his behavior of "helping others" is "positive" or "incorrect". If you just want to get rid of the pain of beautiful women and get happiness, then this is true "kindness." And if you want to help a beautiful woman and get her love, then helping others is "not a good thing". This man is very selfish.

Therefore, a clean heart is the key, which requires practice. Therefore, there is a very important concept in learning, which is "return". When we realize the merit, we immediately "transfer" the merit to all beings. So as to avoid their own greed. If you don't own it, give it to everyone. In this way, the merit is even greater. Because I really don't possess, the less selfish I am, the more merits I have, and the endless.
