Don't take life.
Instead, release birds, fish,
   wild animals,
Farm animals doomed to be
   slaughtered
And also small creatures such
   as ants and bees.
Be diligent in giving them
   refuge from fear.

The benefits of this are
   inconceivable:
It is the supreme practice for
   longevity,
And there is no higher practice
   for nurturing good health
Or for dedicating virtue to the
   dead.
It is my main practice to help
   beings.
