On one occasion, while residing at the Jetavana monastery in Savatthi, the Buddha preached a sermon to the monks on the rewards derived from making the wax flags to worship the Triple Gem. The Buddha told the story of his previous existence when he was the Bodhisatta and performed Dāna pāramī (The perfection of giving). Once upon a time, Opphainyarat who was the younger brother of the Bodhisatta had the religious faith and made a wax flag and offered it to the Bodhisatta in order to worship the Triple Gem. The results of the merit supported the Bodhisatta to have attained enlightenment and become the Buddha and Opphainyarat was reborn as a great king who had a lot of servants more than the peoples in tha Jambudipa. Colophon: Folio 8 on the verso side: Chunlasangkat (CS) 1289, a moeng mao year, the second day of the waning moon of the tenth lunar month, the second day of the week (Sunday), the writing was accomplished at the time of kòng ngai (between 7.30–9.00 o’clock). Thit (ex-monk) Tha and his wife, Sao Huean together with all their children had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Salòng thung phoeng, to support the Teachings of Gotama Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May our wishes come true. On the other hand, may we be free from suffering in the round of rebirths and enter Nibbāna as the ultimate goal. May our wishes not be ignored. Amen, amen! I rejoice. Suffering, impermanence and non-self. Amen, amen!.
