By saving beings one directly benefits them by giving them precious life and those who save beings also receive immeasurable benefits by creating the positive karma to enjoy a longer life and to be free from illness.  Moreover, this practice is a common and vital practice for those who are sick or have heavy obstacles to their life. 

The animals are blessed with the recitation of the Avalokiteshvara Sadhana and many auspicious mantras during the puja.

Geshe Tenzin Sherap says: “When you save a life, automatically you create the karma of a longer life, even if you don’t expect it. This practice can help practitioners who liberate the animals and be dedicated for those with life obstacles and to help them to obtain long and meaningful lives."  Through this practice, one can create positive karma and great compassion.
