While the Buddha was dwelling in Kapilavatthu, he delivered a sermon to his disciples describing Dāna (alms-giving) and Sīla (morality). The results of alms-giving and observing the precepts depend on the practitioners. Those who wish to gain lokiya (mundane) results such as becoming a king, an affluent, God Indra, Brahma or an emperor are regarded as careless-ness because they follow their own cravings. If they wish to gain lokuttara (supra-mundane) results such as Nirvana, they are regarded as careful.

Folio 33 on the verso side: I have not written manuscripts for long time but I was hired to write now; the handwriting is therefore not so beautiful. May I apologize for this very much. There are not much mistake. Niccaṃ niccaṃ
In BE 2486, a huang sai year, on the fourth day of the waning moon of the tenth [lunar] month, a kat mot day, the seventh day of the week (Saturday), at the time of the sunset drum (13:30–15:00), the writing of this manuscript was finished. Chan Thòngdi and Sao Uan, husband and wife, together with all children had the ardent religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Munlanipphan to support the Teachings of Gotama Buddha to last until the end of 5 thousand years. May all my wishes and desires be fulfilled. May all diseases and dangers be vanished. Nibbāna paccaya hotu no niccaṃ dhuvaṃ dhuvaṃ. (May this be a condition for us to reach Nirvana, constantly and certainly).
