Executive Summary: Merit of Sponsoring the Ordination of Monks and Novices
A case study from the Dream in Dream Kindergarten revealing the absolute merit of supreme worldly and spiritual power. Acting as the primary sponsor for mass ordination ceremonies guarantees the donor a birth into extreme nobility or royalty, massive retinues of fiercely loyal followers, and a fast-track to achieving Enlightenment.
1. The Architect of the Sangha
During his lifetime, this man possessed an unshakable devotion to preserving the lifespan of Buddhism. Whenever the monastery announced a “Mass Summer Ordination for Novices or the Rains Retreat Ordination for Monks,” he immediately stepped forward as the principal sponsor. He utilized his immense wealth to fully fund the monastic robes, alms bowls, essential requisites, and the entire ceremony’s expenses. By doing so, he provided the crucial financial backing needed for impoverished young men to ordain, study the Dhamma, and transform from ordinary laypeople into pure monks. Elevating a human being into the sacred Sangha is considered one of the highest possible merits in Buddhism, generating a cosmic wave of spiritual energy that shakes the heavens.
2. The Blessings of Sponsoring Ordinations
- Birth into Absolute Nobility and Royal Power: When reborn as a human, the karmic merit of elevating others to the highest spiritual status directly elevates his own worldly status. He is guaranteed to be born into “Absolute Nobility, Extreme Wealth, or Royal Bloodlines.” He will be born with innate, commanding authority and immense prestige. The masses will naturally bow to him and respect him with deep, instinctual reverence.
- Massive Retinues of Fiercely Loyal Followers: The karma of building a massive army of monks to spread the Dhamma translates into worldly leadership. He will possess an “Immense, Fiercely Loyal Retinue.” Whether he becomes a corporate CEO or a political leader, he will be surrounded by thousands of highly capable, dedicated subordinates who will defend him and execute his vision flawlessly.
- Supreme Wisdom and Rapid Enlightenment: Because he provided the ultimate opportunity for others to study the Dhamma, his own spiritual path is incredibly accelerated. He will possess “Profound Spiritual Wisdom and Unshakable Faith.” In the lifetime he decides to ordain, he will easily detach from worldly wealth and rapidly achieve deep states of Samadhi, fast-tracking his path to Nirvana without facing severe demonic obstacles.
3. Spiritual Solutions
Luang Por Dhammajayo beautifully emphasizes: “He who sponsors the ordination of a single monk buys a massive share in the enlightenment of humanity.” Sponsoring ordinations is the ultimate karmic lever for achieving supreme worldly power and rapid spiritual liberation. Anyone who desires immense leadership authority, wishes to be surrounded by loyal and capable teams, or deeply aspires to reach Nirvana quickly, must aggressively pursue this merit. Sponsor the robes and bowls for mass ordinations, fund the education of novices, or support missionary monks. This monumental wave of “Elevating Merit” will crown your destiny with supreme authority and absolute purity.
