As long as there is a cause, there always will be an effect. Through this timeless principle all beings have the freedom to be liberated from all kinds of pain and suffer given an opportunity to cultivate a noble cause for own sake.
BDP is especially handy when it comes to reaching unfortunate beings because this is indeed the most fertile ground to cultivate virtues. When there is a determination, there will be a way. If we can save each day for less than US$1, in less than 2 years as much as $500 can be accumulated and therefore everyone can participate in BDP by sponsoring one unit of 8"-tall Buddha. Besides, one is entitled to have their name(s) carved, be it of parents, siblings, or all sentient beings.
Let us soon devise our plans to take part in this BDP. Rare oppurtinities do not come very often. Make the best use of it when we are still endowed with breaths.
Facing all kinds of life obstacles and ordeals, what can we fall back to?
Facing deaths, what can we bring along?
Indeed, it is our own virtues and deeds that come most reliable!
Every effort we exert while being alive will bring us, including all sentient beings, toward happiness. If we only live for indulgence, what is the ultimate meaning of life? Do we wait till our next life? Our current life is already dissatisfying, what makes us think next lives will be better if we do nothing at present?
If you say it is not time yet for me to cultivate virtues in the present lifetime, then you are committing a big mistake.
Future well-being depends completely on the current efforts.
Similarly if we do not work hard collecting food and storing it in the warehouse, when winter arrives, no food will be available when we need to eat.
Every second in the present counts!
Many people who have known about this project decides to save from the moment for the sake of future well-being. What about you? It takes great merits from the previous time to continue virtuous acts in the present and so on. Are you just going to miss this out?
Buddha Bless You...
