Description of manuscript content:
On one time, while residing at Buppharam Mahavihara monastery in Savatthi city, the Buddha delivered a sermon to King Pasenadi about the merit derived from making sand stupas. The king and his followers had made 84.000 sand stupas and dedicated to worship the Triple Gem. A person who is faithful having made one or ten thousand stupas for worshiping the Triple Gem. After death, the person will never go to places of evil for 500 existences, but will be born in Tavatimsa heaven with heavenly properties. Thereafter, the person will return to the human world with prosperity and servants.
