Prince Madrais Alibasa Manuscript No. 43C

The manuscript No.43C is written in a notebook with blue cover. The size is 21 x 16.5 cm. The condition of paper is brittle, torn, taped and yellowing. The ink penetrates to the reverse side, but the writing is still readable. In this manuscript, Prince Madrais explains his teaching about human and nature relationship. Human beings were born with their appearance and ability. Earth and sky want to live together with human beings. They wished the human beings to take care of them. However, in the journey of life human beings tend to demand heaven’ rewards and ignore nature’s life. They nature always do their promise; giving sun light in the morning, star and moon light in the night. They give all their wealthiness for human beings, but nature is hugely exploited. We should think of the balance of nature. Saving earth is same as saving human. If nature shows their anger, it will harm human life.
