May the merit derived from copying this manuscript give me good appearance, health, strength, and wisdom whenever I have a new rebirth as a human being. If I were born as a deity, may I be a virtuous deity living in a good state of existence. I stop the writing now.

Other notes:
The front cover, the back cover, and the spine are decorated with black lacquer and cinnabar. The manuscript is slightly damaged by insects.
(The inner flyleaf)
I put my hands together as a banana-leaf cone to pay homage to the Buddha, the Dhamma, and the Sangha. The Teachings of the Buddha (Dhamma) is the most supreme one. Anyone who follows [the Teachings] will get the results at once. [The Dhamma] can be practiced and proved all the time. I am now copying this manuscript.
