On one occasion, while residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddhist delivered a sermon to his disciples on being born as a human being is difficult like a single yoke floating on the ocean. A blind turtle that is in the ocean, after 100 years, it appears once in a while for breathing. It is greatly difficult that the blind turtle inserts its neck into the single slot yoke. This is the difficulty of being born as a human being. Colophon: Folio 18 on the recto side: Chunlasangkatrasa (CS) 1232, the seventh day of the week (Saturday), the writing was accomplished at the time of kòng ngai (between 7.30–9.00 o’clock). Sathu Phò (Monk) Phomma had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Tao thük Aek to support the Teachings of our Buddha. May my wishes and desires come true. Nibbāna is the greatest bliss. May I enter Nibbāna and cut the five obstructions off and reach Nibbāna along my wish. May I attain arahantship. May this be a condition for us to reach Nibbāna, constantly and certainly the greatest bliss. Somdet Phothipannya from Vat Dònmai.
