Sponsor Bricks to Build the Ashram
Infuse every Brick with gratitude and offer it to Dharma.
A portal of dharma, the sacred space of the ashram in which dharma becomes a living experience is the body of the awakened one.
Every brick that you will contribute with your infused gratitude becomes a cell in the body of the awakened one and gives the dimensionless reality a manifestation in the realm time and space.
It is said in the text by the great Indian master, Siddha Chandragomin of the Vajrayana path, “When a portal of Dharma; a shrine is built, even the workers who are building the shrine of Dharma who accidentally kill worms or insects under their feet while they’re working, they and the insects have their negative karma purified and are not reborn in the lower realms.
Even the smoke coming out of the fire from making food for the workers, who ever it touches, any being, has their negative karma purified and they receive a higher rebirth.
That shows how building a shrine of Dharma is so powerful in benefiting others, purifying karma, and collecting inconceivable merit for sentient beings.
It is so powerful in creating merit and purifying defilements that all the wishes of the people who are contributing to building the temple are fulfilled.
The people who are building the temple, who offer donations, time, even the workers who are doing the work, receive unbelievable purification and collect inconceivable merits every day, and all their wishes are fulfilled.
Building a shrine has unbelievable merit. Because it is a portal place with the Guru, Dharma, and Sangha abiding in it.
Contributing to a shrine has, for many lifetimes you are reborn as a king, in the deva or human realms, with all wealth and prosperity.
Building Stupa at the Ashram
The Stupa blesses the five elements it is a portal that unites, earth Bhu Mandala to the Akashic Mandala.
The Noble Stainless Beams of Light Sutra says:
“Even if the shadow of a Stupa touches birds, animals, deer, or whomever, they will not be reborn in the lower realms.”
Sages of the mountains advocate at least circumambulating Stupas as spiritually beneficial to practice.
The Noble Stainless Beams of Light Sutra states:
“Whoever circumambulates or make offerings to a Stupa will be blessed by Tathagatas, move to the supreme enlightened state through a non-returning path, and purify all of their karmic obscuration.”
Building, funding or volunteering to build a Stupa or shrine , while thinking of the Guru, “they will all reach Enlightenment.” [Lotus Sutra]
