Summary AI-generated
A short Nôm verse rendering (“diễn âm”) of a Buddhist-style scripture on the end of the age, put into plain language “so that children and women can read it too”. The scripture is said to come from China, from the Guangxu years of the Qing: the village of Vương Gia near Lạc Dương in the prefecture of Tây Bình, where the town-god temple stands, and whoever holds the scripture will have honour and long life. The sky lies calm on all four sides when thunder suddenly rolls and all who hear it are afraid – the transcription breaks off there, after nineteen lines.
