Description of manuscript content:

The story tells that while dwelling at the Jetavanna monastery in Savatthi, the Buddha spoke about his previous dana parami (perfection of giving). The Buddha recollected the world and set up the first eon as the cause, then the Buddha delivered a sermon and described this story to Ananda and other monks with Maha Kassapa Thera on a Uposatha day of the fifteenth day of the waxing moon of the first lunar month. The Buddha said that he could recollect for 9 eons backward until his enlightenment. During the 9 eons, he could realize all the things in all universes including nature, humankinds and animals.
