Description of manuscript content:

Text 1: The text explains the uncertainty of body and mind (saṅkhāra). We all deal with birth, aging, illness and death and are able to take only meritorious and sinful results after death. No matter how much one occupies possessions and power, nobody can escape death. If we desire a favorable rebirth, we should make merit at monasteries, listen to the Dhamma and follow the Five Precepts or Eight Precepts; thus, we might live happily in heaven. text 2: The words of consolation are recited to invite protective stones and stoves to guard those who lost consciousness or faced bad things. May their self-spirits get back to their bodies, eat all prepared food and be happy all the time.

Colophon:

Text 1: “นายตา คำพรหม ของพระลุงตา คำพรหม หนังสือสอนครับ เจริญไปเถอะ” (อักษรไทย) This didactic manuscript belongs to Phra Lung (uncle monk) Ta Kham Phrom. Please read it. (Thai script)

Other notes:
