Description of manuscript content:

The text describes about the story of Gotama Buddha. He collected perfection since he was Hermit Sumedhon and was predicted by Dipangara Buddha until he attained enlightenment as a Buddha and established his teachings of Tipitaka. The text also mentions about the duration of the Teachings of the Buddha will be lasted until 5,000 years, and what will happen in the meantime. At the end of 5,000 years, all the relics of the Buddha which have been installed in various places will be integrated and become the Buddha one more time.
