On one occasion, while residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddhist delivered a sermon to his disciples on the way out of suffering and leads to Nirvana. The Buddha related being born as a human being is difficult like a single yoke floating on the ocean. A turtle that is in the ocean, after 100 years, it appears once in a while for breathing. It is greatly difficult that the turtle inserts its neck into a single slot yoke. That is the difficulty of being born as a human being. Colophon: Folio 27 on the recto side: Chunlasangkatrasa 1279, a hwai si year, the fourteenth day of the waxing moon of the fourth lunar month, the fourth day of the week (Wednesday), a kot san day, the writing was accomplished at the time of kòng laeng (between 13.30–15.00 o’clock). Chao (Princess) Phio together with all her children had the ardent religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Viangkaeo phanipphan to support the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May this be a condition to reach Nibbāna certainly and constantly.
