Description of manuscript content:
This manuscript aims at teaching people to resolutely practice the Dhamma. The Buddha presented the story of Phra Dulabha who asked for ordination when he was old. In general, old people are stubborn and do not properly practice when they are taught or cautioned, causing hindrance of success. Therefore, Buddhist practitioners should consider and apply the Dhamma. They should practice the Dhamma seriously to achieve real success. They should also make merit, donate, observe precepts, listen to the Dhamma, and do meditation. Keeping this discipline can develop one’s good moral habits and become a factor leading us to Nibbāna.
Colophon:
ပိုဝ်ၼႆယူၵေႃ်ယူတ ၵူဢၼ်လႆၸိုဝ် မုဝ်မွၵ်ဢွၵ်ၵပ် လိၺ်သပ်ၼႂ်ၼွင် မိင်ၽိုင်မႃတွံ ၵံၼႆလီဢၼ် သုတ်ဝင် ပင်ဢႆႁုၺ်းႁုၺ်း မုၺ်းယိၺ်လုံးႁံး ၵပ်မၼ်းငႆလုၼ်ႁုင် ႁဝ်းၵေႃ် ၵိုတ်လိုဝ်ၵံးၼိုင် ၵွၼ်ယဝ် သူ႟ သူၼေႃ်း I stop copying this manuscript now, like a bee and an insect sucking nectar of flowers and flying away with the fright of a falling lotus.
Other notes:
The front cover and the back cover are decorated with black lacquer. The manuscript is in a good physical condition. (The inner flyleaf) May the merit derived from producing this manuscript support me with new rebirths as an excellent human or deity. May I never be reborn in hell. In the last life may I listen to the Dhamma and reach Nibbāna.
