Case Study: Merit of Volunteering to Direct Traffic and Help Pedestrians

Executive Summary: Merit of Volunteering to Direct Traffic and Help Pedestrians

A case study from the Dream in Dream Kindergarten revealing the merit of clearing the path. Dedicating oneself to ensuring the safety and smooth transit of others guarantees the donor a remarkably smooth life, complete safety in all travels, and zero obstacles on their path to success.

1. The Opener of Safe Paths

During his lifetime, this man was overflowing with civic-mindedness. On weekends, holidays, or during chaotic temple festivals, he would put on a reflective vest and act as a “Traffic Volunteer.” He cheerfully directed traffic, safely escorted the elderly and children across busy streets, and organized parking—expecting absolutely nothing in return. Enduring scorching heat, exhaustion, and toxic exhaust fumes simply to ensure others could reach their destinations safely is a highly noble form of “Veyyavaccamaya” (the merit of offering physical service to the community).

2. The Blessings of Facilitating Others

  • A Flawlessly Smooth Life Path: When reborn as a human, the merit of clearing physical paths for others directly translates into a completely unobstructed life path. Whether pursuing education, career goals, or business ventures, his journey will be exceptionally smooth and devoid of roadblocks. Whenever a problem arises, kind superiors or friends will instantly step in to “clear the way” for him.
  • Total Safety in Travel: The merit of protecting pedestrians and commuters solidifies into a powerful protective aura. Regardless of how far he travels—by car, boat, or plane—he will be completely immune to fatal accidents and will invariably reach his destinations safely.
  • Welcomed and Facilitated Everywhere: Wherever he goes in the world, he will never experience hardship. He will naturally attract assistants and staff who eagerly welcome him, open doors, prepare seating, and seamlessly facilitate all his needs (exactly as he once served others). Furthermore, when he meditates, his mind will rapidly clear, effortlessly traversing the inner path to the Dhammakaya without any mental hindrances blocking his way.

3. Luang Por’s Teaching

Luang Por Dhammajayo teaches that volunteering for public service, especially facilitating people on their way to perform good deeds (like directing traffic at a temple), generates incredibly powerful merit. This is because the volunteer claims a share of the merit from every single person who safely passes through. This specific karmic energy acts like a bulldozer, clearing away the thorns and obstacles from the volunteer’s own life. Anyone who feels their life is constantly blocked, or that people are always standing in their way, should actively seek out volunteer work. This merit will miraculously dissolve barriers and open a bright, smooth path forward.
