Building for Buddha – Buddhist Education Centre When we build for Buddha this can also be the case because, when done correctly, building can be a practice which makes not only new buildings; but new minds and kamma to have refuge in Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha.

One of the latest things I added to Buddhist Sun was a compass that guides you to find the direction of various Buddhist Cetiya. When I was without a Buddha, I recalled how Muslims know where Mecca is. Yet I did not know where Bodhgayā was. So, I added this a few years ago as a separate app. Because of the difficulties of upgrading apps to meet the app store standards, I merged it with Buddhist Sun and added more compass and time functions to it. Enjoy!
