How and when?
How to release:

1. What are the benefits of releasing? Release means giving money, giving laws and giving fearlessly, all of which have infinite merits. The biggest advantage of releasing is to eliminate disasters and prolong life. However, in case of major events, it would be better to add release when praying for mercy from Guanyin Bodhisattva.

2. People who need to be released especially: people who believe in Buddhism, middle-aged and elderly people, people who are old, weak and sick, and people who are filial to their parents. There are also people who are engaged in the following occupations: kitchen workers, chefs, surgeons, abortion doctors, funeral workers, insecticidal cleaners, butchers in chicken farms and pig farms, criminal police, forensic doctors, anatomists and so on. And it should always be "released" to avoid risks. Of course, it is best to find an opportunity to change jobs.

3. Release time: All the year round, but it is best before the birthday of the longevity seeker, or every other year, or the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Buddha's birthday, or hospitalization, surgery, serious illness, car accident and other accidents. It is best to choose sunny days, when the sunshine is the most abundant and the effect is the best. Try to avoid releasing at night. It can also be released in rainy days.

4. It is best to choose animals that are easy to be eaten by people, such as fish, shrimp, crabs, clams and so on. Other animals can be released as long as they are killed or eaten.

5, when releasing, you should recite the scriptures: releasing helps to eliminate disasters and prolong life, and chanting helps to protect the body. The two work best together. On the way to release, you can start chanting, and it is best to recite the mercy mantra. Before chanting, you should read your name: "Please ask the merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva to bless me to avoid disaster and prolong my life, and I will certainly do more merits." Then read the mercy mantra, as many as possible. Dai said, "Please ask the merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva to bless her family so-and-so to avoid disasters and prolong life ...".

6. When you arrive at the release site, you should first say "thank you to Nanwu for your kindness and compassion" to the sky, and then read the Great Compassion Mantra and Heart Sutra three or seven times each. Before you put the fish into the water, you should say it again: "Please, merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva."

Bless me so-and-so (or my family so-and-so) to eliminate disasters and prolong life ... "When you are free, you can miss the Great Compassion Mantra, Heart Sutra and Death Mantra as many times as you want, and it is best to read more. Gently put the fish into the water so as not to hurt the fish.

7. If the fish, shrimp and crab are released and die, you should recite the death curse. Generally, it is 3 times for each shrimp, 7 times for each crab and 7 times for each fish.

8. It is better to use your own money for the money released. If it is released on behalf of the family, it is best to let the family take money to release it. Use your own money to release your family, as long as you say to the Bodhisattva in advance, "Please be merciful and forgive the Bodhisattva, and use my money to release a person." Then buy fish and set them free, which will have an effect. There is another way: pray with the Bodhisattva at the Buddhist platform before release: how much money I give someone (the names of relatives and friends) is counted as his own money.

9, released on behalf of the family, if the family does not believe or even oppose, sometimes the effect will be discounted. But letting go is better than not letting go.
