This is a reproduction and transcription of an ola leaf book that was given to me by the scribe some years back. In size the leaves are approx. 15" x 2" (38cm x 5cm).
The hand writing is very fine and clear, though the scribe made two mistakes, one on page four (obverse) and again on page five (obverse), these are struck through in the manuscript and in the trascription).
You can click on the leaf to open it in a lightbox overlay. The scan is made at full size and will print at the size noted above unless shrunk to fit.

Footnote:
I knew this venerable monk well when I lived in a nearby aranya, and he helped me on several occasions when I was preparing the Safeguard Recitals book. He ran the nearby monastic school, and had mastered the traditional monastic arts, which he passed on to his disciples. He passed away around 2012. May his good deeds bring him a rich reward.
