Sòng dòk mai means the merit derived from worshiping flowers and fragrant to the Buddha. On one occasion, while the Buddha was dwelling in the Jetavanna monastery in Savatthi, the Buddha delivered a sermon to monks. The Buddha said that those who have the religious faith worship the Triple Gem with the Buddha as the first with flowers and fragrant will attain the three stages of happiness such as the happiness in the human world, heavenly world and Nirvana. Moreover, to worship the Buddha will gain power; to worship the Dhamma will gain wisdom, and to worship the Sangha will gain wealthy. Colophon: Folio 10 on the verso side: Buddhist Era 1288 (corresponding with CS 1288), a hap hao year, the second day of the waning moon of the eleventh lunar month, the second day of the week (Monday). The writing was accomplished at the moring drum (between 7.30-9.00 o’clock). Thao Phan and his wife Sao Pheng had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Sòng Dòk Mai for the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May we reach the three states of happiness with Nibbāna as the ultimate goal. May our wishes and desires not be ignored. Nibbāna is the greatest bliss in the future.
