The welfare of the devotees who cooperate in the construction of the temple is considered to be very wide. It is said that if a person establishes a temple the size of a finger and an idol the size of a grain of rice, then that being becomes very grand and attains salvation in a very short time. What can be a more important work than the construction of temples? In the scriptures, the construction of the temple of God, the installation of the idol, giving equipment for the arrangement of the temple, and donating for the maintenance of the temple have been taken under daily worship. That is, all these are daily worship. Daily worship means that if a temple is built somewhere, then as long as that temple remains there, the builder of that temple gets the virtue of worship, not only his worship, but all the people who worship in that temple, worship, take darshan. They all get a share of the virtue.
What can be more virtuous than the one who solves the problems of so many creatures, due to which a creature gets Samyak Darshan? This is the best way to make good use of your money.
