Holy objects bring incredible benefits!
On a mundane level,
Because it makes them create extensive merit, allowing them quickly to realize the path, it also helps them to improve their life very soon: from a very difficult life with many problems—business problems, relationship problems, and many other things—to an easy life having perfect enjoyments, external and inner prosperity at the same time, realizations of the path, and a very happy, peaceful, inspiring death.
On the ultimate level,
These holy objects also help other sentient beings easily purify negative karma and create the causes for happiness and extensive merit, which brings them to enlightenment quickly by realizing the path up to enlightenment. The moment holy objects such as statues of Buddha are completed, they become a field of merit for sentient beings. They become only a cause for others to achieve happiness.
–Lama Zopa Rinpoche

If you build stupas or statues to inspire people, without even teaching Dharma, for however many hundreds and billions of years the holy object lasts, it continues to liberate many sentient beings every day freeing them from the lower realms, causing them to actualize the path liberating them from samsara, and bringing them to enlightenment.
Even if after you die you are in another universe, in the hell realms or a pure land, wherever you are the stupa or statue that you built is continually benefiting sentient beings. It is incredible how you can continually benefit sentient beings by having built a stupa.
–Kyabje Zopa Rinpoche
