By sculpting a Buddha figure, affinity with Buddhas is created, and one rejoices with a gracious heart;
By gilding a coat of gold, one accumulates wealth and endless blessings follow!
By putting up a column, a firm foundation is established, and one’s mighty career flourishes;
By donating a single stone, merits are accumulated, and one’s path to fortune and wisdom will be smooth!
梁柱之龙柱承天
Dragon Pillar Supporting the Heavens
寺庙中所有的龙柱,都是支撑寺庙的主要栋梁,价值及意义非凡。
龙柱就是支撑整个寺庙最重要的栋梁,相对地也肩负着整座寺庙的重责大任。
The Dragon Pillars within each temple are the main columns supporting the temple; they are of extraordinary value and significance.
The Dragon Pillars are the most important columns supporting the temple, they shoulder the great responsibility of the temple.
Donors who fund the construction of Dragon Pillars will be enriched with the characteristic of the Dragon Pillar — “great strength of the earth” — such that they will be of good health, and their undertakings will be sound.
In addition, benevolent donors will have indomitable spirit, as well as long-lasting peace and stability in their undertakings and fortune.
Such great merit can also help benevolent donors, in all of their lifetimes, plant the seed of a wondrous Dharma affinity with the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Yuan Zheng Tang Main Hall, as well as with all sentient beings who visit the temple in the future.
Such an opportunity is extremely rare, even in a ten thousand kalpas. Let us seize this auspicious opportunity, we look forward to creating a wondrous affinity with you!
