We must follow his Teachings. May the merit derived from copying this manuscript help me detach defilements and reach Nibbāna.
Other notes:
The front cover, the back cover, and the spine are decorated with black lacquer. The manuscript is partly damaged by insects. The last two pages were written by cinnabar. (The inner flyleaf) I pay homage to the Buddha who is the most excellent in the world, the Dhamma which is the representative to the Buddha, and the Sangha who have inherited the Buddhist religion and the Teachings of the Buddha. As long as I am still alive, I will continue copying the Teachings of the Buddha. May I be endowed with sharp wisdom, a pure mind, and stay away from all dangers.
