On one occasion, while the Buddha was dwelling at the Jetavana monastery in Savatthi, the Buddha spoke to his disciples about a poor man who lived in Savatthi, earned with selling wood for making fire and banana leaves. One day, the day was a Buddhist holiday, he entered the forest for looking for the wood and banana leaves. He met a monk who was observing the precepts and practicing meditation. He asked the monk that what is your purpose of living in the forest? The monk replied that he lives in the forest for observing the precepts. Hearing that, the man became faithful in the monk. So, he built a pavilion and a pond for the monk. Thereafter, he brought food for the monk. Due to the results of donation of the pavilion, after the death he was born in Tavatimsa heaven with enjoying the divine property and surrounded by faries as his servants. Colophon: Folio 12 on the recto side: Sangkat 1213, a huang khai year, the twelfth day of the waning moon of the twelfth lunar month, the fifth day of the week (Thursday). The writing was accomplished at the time of the kòng laeng (between 13.30–15.00 o’clock). Phò Khamming (father Khamming) and his wife had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Sappha sòng for the Teachings of Gotama Buddha, [so that they may last] for 5000 years. May our wishes come true. May this merit be a condition for us to reach Nibbāna.
