Do what you can to build Lingyen
Do not say, “The economy is not doing well right now; it is not easy to make a living. How could we have money to build a temple?” Building a temple certainly requires money. However, all kinds of praise and other spiritual support are also needed. Simply contribute according to your abilities; no one is asking you to do anything so difficult that it seems impossible. The Buddha taught us to work to the best of our abilities!
