The merit derived from offering Khao Salak (ticket-food: food to be distributed by tickets) to monks or the Sangha. The story is that while the Buddha was dwelling in the Jetavanna Monastery in Savatthi, he delivered a sermon to a king who donated offerings and khao salak to monks. The Buddha described that the merit to be derived from those who offer khao salak to monks is that they will reach the three states of happiness with Niravana as the ultimate.
Colophon:
Folio 3 on the verso side: In the year [AD] 1935, on the twelfth waxing day of the tenth lunar month, the second day of the week (Monday), the writing [of this manuscript] was finished at the time of the morning drum (between 7.30 - 9.00 o’clock). Chao Mom (monk) Di had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Sòng Khao Sak (Khao Salak) to support the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. I wrote the text of Song Khao Sak to dedicate it to the spirits of my previous parents. May my previous parents be reborn in a good place with happiness, then I may be happy without any danger.
