There are three great meritorious deeds in life: 1) Paving roads 2) Building bridges 3) Constructing temples. In the Brahmā Net Sūtra, the Buddha mentions the Eight Fields of Blessings in the world, among which the second is the building of bridges, and the third is the construction of roads. With pure and sincere hearts, we devotees vow that this wholesome act will bring convenience to all beings (benefiting others), while also helping us eradicate our own karmic obstacles (benefiting ourselves), thus bringing blessings and wisdom both in this life and future lives. When the external road is paved, the inner path of our hearts also finds stability. In truth, building roads is also a way of repairing and refining the path of one’s own life.
The estimated cost of 1st phase road paving: USD $220,000–$250,000.
