Description of manuscript content:
The text of Panyaparami or Paññāpāramī (perfection of wisdom) is regularly used by a monk to read during delivering a sermon to people on the occasion of an auspicious ceremony. The content tells that in the Buddha's time, the Buddha traveled to the Tavatimsa Heaven to attend the Buddhist Lent. The Buddha delivered this valuable sermon " Panyaparami or 30 perfections of the Buddha" to Indra and Devas. A Bodhisattva needs to be completed these 30 perfections before becoming a Buddha. Anyone who writes the text of Panyaparami by oneself, or asks others to write for, or pays attention to listen to the preaching of Panyaparami, the one would get many benefits and would become rich and will be avoided from all misfortunes.
