Background

Reference : Vanaropan Sutta (Tripitaka)

Deva asked : In whom does merit grow (wisdom/punya) day by day and by night? Who are the people that are well estab-

lished in the Dhamma? Who are the people that are endowed with morality? Who are the people that are bound for the

deva realms?

Buddha said : They who plant orchards and gardens, who plant groves, who build bridges, who set up the sheds by the

road side with drinking water for the travellers, who sink Wells or build reservoirs, who put up various forms of

shelter for the public, are those whom merit grows day by day and by night. They are the people that are established in

the Dhamma, that are endowed with morality and that are bound for the deva realms.

rainy season.
