Abstract
The present text which is surveyed and translated from khotanese into Persian introduces a part of Buddha’s teachings. A garden is described in the text, in which Buddha took residence. It is spring time, and the beauty and pleasure of spring inspires the Shamans. Meanwhile Buddha commences his teachings by advising and informing them of the valueless world, and the cycle of life and death.
