Shortly afterwards, when Luang Phaw Dhammajayo gave the opportunity to help in the building of the Mahā Dhammakāya Cetiya as the focus of faith for Buddhists all over the world, Khun Yay was excited at the prospect and gave her full support even though at that time her health was no longer as strong. Although Khun Yay had some feeling that this might be a great task and might delay Luang Phaw from researching the knowledge of Dhammakāya, she realized the importance of the project to the Buddhist ministry to the world. At that time, the thousand-acre area of land where the Cetiya was to be built, was still an empty plot of land. The Dhamma grounds were only used for ceremonies such as Māgha Pūjā and almsgiving in the morning. At the time when the Dhamma grounds were being prepared for the construction of the Cetiya, the field was full of mountains of earth. There was a flagpole with a red flag marking the point that would be the centre of the cetiya when it was finished. Khun Yay would inspect the site expectantly. As the heat of the sun diminished in the evening, once Khun Yay went and bowed in front of the big white Buddha image located in the field and wished: "Venerable Sir! Please help me raise funds for the robes offering ceremony. May we receive a lot of contributions to help construct the Cetiya. May I be healthy. I feel so weak now." At the time when the foundation piles were being driven, Khun Yay often complained: "Digging over and over. When will they start building the Cetiya? I don't know if I shall see the completion of the Cetiya."
