Abhidhamma Dhātukathā (Abhidhamma Piṭaka Dhātukathā) is the high level of Buddha’s teaching. The content is about the body, physical contact, and the four elements (solid element, liquid element, heating element and air element) which formed the human body. While we are alive, we should consider that our bodies are impermanent, can change and perish finally. When we pass away, we cannot take our properties, lineage or relatives with us. Therefore, we must hurry to make merit, perform alms-giving, observe the religious precepts and do meditation which will be the benefit of making merit following us forever.Dhātukathā is the sophisticated high-level Dhamma explaining compatibility of things: Khandha, Āyatana, and Dhātu.

The principal initiator was Pu (grandfather) Kaeo, together with his siblings, who sponsored the writing of this manuscript entitled Seven Treatises of Abhidhamma, so that Buddhism could be prolonged until [the end of] 5,000 years. May the merit derived from writing this manuscript be transferred to my younger brother named Nan (ex-monk) Sīvijaya.
