Description of manuscript content:
The text describes the merit derived from listening to the chanting or preaching of Sai noi and making the manuscript entitled Sap Sai. By making the manuscript of Sai noi, the sponsor will get the same merit as making thousands of Buddha statues. The Buddha said that "the ones who give food and water – meaning, giving energy; the ones who give clothes – meaning, giving beauty; the ones who give Dhamma – meaning, giving humanity, wisdom, escape from suffering.
