Description of manuscript content:

This palm-leaf manuscript explains how to practice Kammaṭṭhāna “meditation.” The manuscript suggests that if the meditation practitioners want to be successful, they should purely observe the five Sīla “precepts,” make an offering (e.g., followers, incenses and candles) to the triple gems and to Kammaṭṭhāna’s masters. In addition, there are Pāli chants together with their Lanna translations used in different procedures such as venerating the triple gems, during meditation practices, asking for forgiveness, sharing the loving kindness, and making wishes.
