Akaravattasut is one of the greatest suttas. No other suttas are able to compare. It is integrated the Sutta, the Vinaya, and Abhidhamma Pitakas. The contents are verses in Pali and explanation in Lao. On one occasion, while residing at the Gijjhakuta hill, the Buddha spoke to Venerable Sariputta on this Akaravatta Sutta. The verses of Akaravattasut are more powerful than other suttas in the protection from all dangers for those who regularly keep these verses in mind. All sins will not be a ble to penetrate into the nature by the power of this Akaravattasut. Whoever listened to it, written it by himself, or hired someone else to write it for him, memorised it, taught it to others, worshiped and respected it, regularly recited it in meditation will be free from 30 kinds of dangers. Colophon: Folio 20 on the verso side: Vòrakhun Chunlasangkat (CS) 1271, a kot set year, on the ninth day of the waning moon of the twelfth lunar month, the third day of the week (Tuesday), a huang mot day, the writing was accomplished at the time of kòng ngai (between 7.30–9.00 o’clock). The initiator, Ratanapannya Bhikkhu had the most ardent religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Akaravattasut (Ākāravatta Sutta), to support the Teachings of Gotama Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May the results of this merit support my father whose name was Ai Huean. Even if he has been stuck in a misery place, may this merit move him to a good place. Even if he has been stuck in a misery, move him to a good place. If he has been already in a good place, support him better than ever by one hundred and one hundred thousand times, until he enters Nirvana, definitely. The pure gift of mine is for Nibbāna which is the greatest bliss constantly and certainly.
