Description of manuscript content:

Sòng Pham (Celebration of a pavilion). The story tells of persons who are religious faithful and sponsored the building of a Pham (open pavilion) and donated to the Sangha. They will gain much merit for three eons. After the death, they will be reborn in noble families with wealth. Later, they will gain the three states of happiness including happiness in the human world, in the heavens and greatest bliss in Nibbāna.
