flag China's Buddhist Association bans releasing non-living items, calling it harmful and against true Buddhist principles.

flag The Buddhist Association of China has warned followers against releasing non-living items like rice or bottled water, calling it a misinterpretation of Buddhist teachings and environmentally harmful. flag The practice of "life release" traditionally involves freeing sentient animals to save lives, rooted in compassion and non-harming. flag The association stresses that releasing inanimate objects lacks spiritual meaning, wastes resources, and can disrupt ecosystems, spread disease, or damage protected areas. flag It urges compliance with environmental laws, requires government approval for group releases, and bans commercialization, emphasizing science-based, ethical practices that support ecological balance and the true spirit of Buddhist compassion.
