Description of manuscript content:

On one occasion, while dwelling at the Jetavanna monastery in Savatthi, the Buddha delivered a semon to monks and people. The Buddha spoke about the benefits derived from cremation of the dead. Anyone who puts one piece or two pieces or more pieces of wood on the cremation furnace for burning a copse, the one will gain much results for twenty thousand eons.
