Cause and Effect
"Practice Compassion -- No Killing" is one of the 3 types of pure blessings which result from pure actions :
1) Worldly Blessings (Filial-piety)
2) Precepts Blessings (Taking refuge in the Triple Jewels)
3) Cultivation Blessings (Practising the bringing forth of the Bodhicitta)
If in this life we can avoid killing, save, and set lives free, and together with the chanting of Sutras and Mantras, we can transfer the merits that accrue from such virtuous acts to the deceased, with the hope that they will someday be reborn in the Pure Land. Devotion such as these will result in our securing a place in one fo the 9 categories of lotuses in the Pure Land of Amitabha.
