Case Study: Merit of Organizing Mass Ordinations

1. Architect of the Dhamma Army

During his lifetime, this man clearly understood that the survival and stability of Buddhism rely entirely on a robust monastic community. He dedicated immense wealth and physical effort to becoming the primary sponsor for annual “Mass Ordination Ceremonies.” He generously funded the monastic robes (Civara), alms bowls, and all associated costs for destitute young men who possessed a pure desire to ordain. Transforming an ordinary man into a Buddhist monk—creating a new Supreme Field of Merit—is the ultimate act of expanding the “Dhamma Army” and is recognized as the most profound method of extending the lifespan of Buddhism.

2. The Blessings of Sponsoring Ordinations

• Reborn into Elite, Right-View Aristocracy: When reborn as a human, this monumental merit guarantees his incarnation into a highly elevated, aristocratic, or billionaire family. Most crucially, it will be a family possessing absolute “Right View” (Samma Ditthi), deeply devoted to Buddhism. This karmic shield ensures he is protected from worldly vices from the very second he is born.
• Vast Networks of Moral, Loyal Subordinates: The karma of sponsoring men to observe the highest moral precepts (monastic vows) magnetically attracts elite followers. He will command immense networks of employees, subordinates, and loyalists who are inherently moral, deeply honest, and flawlessly dedicated to his success, propelling his worldly businesses to astronomical heights.
• The Tusita Heaven and Rapid Attainment: Upon passing, his inner body will ascend directly to the elite “Tusita Heaven” (Special Merit Zone), claiming a blindingly radiant golden mansion. In future human lifetimes, he will possess an incredibly strong, innate inclination toward monasticism and purity (Brahmacariya), allowing him to attain the inner Dhammakaya with astonishing speed and ease.

3. Luang Por’s Teaching

Luang Por Dhammajayo frequently teaches that building a solid gold pagoda reaching the sky yields less merit than “ordaining a single man to become a monk.” A pagoda cannot preach the Dhamma, but a monk can actively spread the Buddha’s teachings and extinguish the suffering of humanity. Sponsoring an ordination is therefore one of the absolute supreme merits in Buddhism. Anyone who desires a frictionless path to perfection, wishes to command elite, loyal subordinates, and wants to firmly solder their destiny to the Triple Gem, must absolutely never miss an opportunity to sponsor Mass Ordination programs.
