Description of manuscript content:

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 text mentions that in the Buddha's time, the Buddha traveled to the Tavatimsa Heaven for attending the Buddhist Lent. The Buddha delivered this valuable sermon " Panyaparami or 30 perfections of the Buddha" to Indra and Devas. A Bodhisattva needs to complete these 30 perfections before becoming a Buddha. By writing the text by oneself, asking others to write for, paying attention to listen to the preaching of Panyaparami, the one would get benefits to become rich people and avoid from all misfortunes.
