Description of manuscript content:
The merit derived from offering flowers and fragrant to worship the Buddha. The ones who worship the Buddha with flowers and fragrant will gain merit in the three stages such as in the human world, heavenly world and Nirvana. On the other hand, the ones who worship the Buddha will gain power, worship the Dhamma will gain wisdom, and worship the Sangha (Order) will gain wealthiness.
