Résumé
Abstract Animal release has long been a component of Buddhist practice, although it is little studied contemporarily. This paper examines the historical roots of these rituals, arguing that they may ultimately have been adopted into Chinese Buddhist practices. A short survey of contemporary Buddhist practice in various traditions is given, including references to important scriptural authority. Practices involving large-scale, ritualized animal release is then argued to have a number of unintended negative environmental repercussions, resulting in potential new, non-native invasive species. These practices are also considered from contemporary economic and public health perspectives, culminating in the argument that their compassionate intentions are often lost in the act. Acknowledgements The authors owe a debt of gratitude to a few individuals who contributed to bringing this paper to its present form. First and foremost, the writing of this paper was inspired by Master Tam Shek-wing (rDo rje 'jigs bral), a vajrācarya of the rNying ma school of Tibetan Buddhism who has been criticizing for years the potential problems of the practice of animal release. Our discussions with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, including Larissa Mohan, Joanne Jeffrey and Natalie Affolter, were central to providing potential solutions to the problems posed by animal release. Our thanks also go to Professor James Benn, Professor Guang Xing and Professor Duncan Ryūken Williams for reading an early version of this paper and providing invaluable feedback. Finally, Professor Sandy Smith of the Forestry Department at the University of Toronto was very generous with her time, and helped to clarify the biological terminology used in this paper. Notes 1.

Duncan Ryūken Williams also mentions that Japanese Buddhist monks such as Keishu also took this scripture as the canonical source of the hōjō-e practice and commented on this passage in his Hōjō jissai katsuma giki.
