The rewards derived from the donation of the Buddhist Canon. On one occasion, while residing at the Jetavana monastery in Savatthi, the Buddha gave a sermon on the merit derived from making the manuscripts of the Tipitaka (the three baskets) to Sariputta Thera who came to the presence of the Buddha and asked the Buddha about this. The Buddha said that any women or men who have the ardent religious faith made the manuscripts of the Buddha’s teachings in order to support the Teachings of the Buddha will gain great merit incalculably. Their wishes will come true in any aspects. After death, they will be reborn in the heaven as king of the gods (Indra). Thereafter, they will reborn again in the human wolrd as emperors for many existences. Colophon: Folio 14 on the recto side: Buddhist Era (BE) 2491, a poek chai year, on the second day of the waning moon of the second lunar month, Sunday, the writing was accomplished at the time of kòng ngai (between 7.30–9.00 o’clock). Sao Khamchan from Aham village had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Sòng Pitaka (Rewards derived from copying the Buddhist canon) to support the Teachings of Gotama Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May all my wishes and desires come true.
