(The inner flyleaf)
I put my hands together as a lotus that blooms in the morning to pay homage to the Buddha, the Dhamma, the Sangha, and my teachers. May the merit derived from making this manuscript support me with opportunities to make merit in every future life. If I still remain in the Cycle of Rebirths, may I be reborn with longevity, good health, nice complexion, and freedom from illness and danger. May I reach Nibbāna in the last life.
