All of us here are Mahayana practitioner. Our main aim is to benefit all sentient beings without exception either directly or indirectly. Now we should benefit all beings through this Stupa project.

People who are wise will plan for his happiness as soon as possible. But, due to ignorance they only know to do it for this lifetime. Its happiness to be acquired is temporary and unstable. When we spend our money on luxuries, its happiness received is so temporal; at end will also cause us nothing but sufferings. It won't really benefit us. Comparing to those people who possess wisdom of Dharma will prepare not only for present lifetime, but also for his futures. By practicing Dharma, one can swiftly achieve the ultimate realization that leads us to perfect Buddhahood, the unchangeable happiness. So it is more advisable and worthy to invest our wealth to Buddha Dharma than for worldly pleasures.

If we spend our wealth for Buddha Dharma, like the Stupa project and so forth, it will benefit oneself and others. Through the merits we accumulated and the blessings given to us from Three Jewels. Its happiness will last forever. In short, sponsoring the building of Stupa will help beings to gain connection to Buddha Dharma and bring us to the ultimate happiness in future.

It is better to build Stupa on places where many people, both Buddhist and Non-buddhist, can see it. Because of Buddha's activities, people who just see the Stupa, cover by its shadow, blow by the wind that passing by Stupa, or touching the Stupa, can have the Dharma seed planted into him. Even someone in this life time who does not believe in Buddhism, merely seeing the Stupa, will be liberated from sufferings in future.

If there is a doctor, who sponsored and acquired the Stupa to put it inside his clinic, will help his patient to have Dharma seed planted by giving them a great opportunity to see the Stupa and received its blessings. Likewise if a school do the same at his classroom will help his students to have the Dharma seed planted.

This Three Feet Stupa is build to serve the said purpose. One can put this Stupa at living room so when his relatives and friends who visited him will received the Dharma seed even if they do not have faith in Buddha's teachings.

People might ask that why don't we place the Stupa on altar instead. It seems more proper! Lord Buddha said all beings were our mother once in the past countless aeon (Sanskrit: Kalpa). So we should develop compassion and loving kindness toward them and help them to get free from sufferings. The best help to be offered is to help them to get free from this cycle of existence (Sanskrit: Samsara) which full of suffering by planting the Dharma seed into them. This will lead them to realization of his mind's own nature and bring them the immeasurable happiness. One of the skills imparted to us by Lord Buddha himself is accumulation of merit through Stupa. It will definitely benefit one self and others at the same time.

We might not see the positive effects of Stupa right away. But all the benefits of Stupa mentioned as given to us by Lord Buddha himself (It is recorded in the Sutra of MED TON DJOING WE DO). We are disciples of Buddha who should have confidence on his teachings. And by believing the words of Buddha may cause us Buddhahood -- the fruition of perfect happiness.
