Description of manuscript content:

While residing at the Buppharam Monastery in Savatthi, the Buddha spoke to King Pasendhi about the benefits derived from worshiping the flags of the Triple Gem. The Buddha gave an example. In the time of the Vipassi Buddha, a troubled couple with the most ardent religious faith in the Triple Gem made a flag in order to worship the Triple Gem. While making the flag, the husband suddenly died. Because of his faithful mind, he entered in Tavatimsa Heaven as a divinity and possessed many heavenly treasures.
