Description of manuscript content:

Teaching of Siao Savat to avoid seeking revenge. When one person harms another, whether intentionally or not, they can negatively affect their own life, or their next lives. People who have been hurt by others should forgive them and not seek revenge. All those who are born into the circle of birth and death, whether parents, son, daughter, cousin, husband, or wife, should help and support each other. People should avoid complaining, making accusations, being angry, lying, and insulting others. Everyone should avoid gossiping, looking down on priests, inciting scholars, disturbing a person who is doing good deeds…
