Description of manuscript content:

The content tells about practicing in Satipatthana or the four foundations of mindfulness. The four foundations of mindfulness consist of: 1. Contemplation of the body (kayanupassana). Contemplation of the body just as the body with no sense of mine, “I” or myself. 2. Contemplation of feelings (vedananupassana). Contemplation of feelings just as feelings with no sense of mine, “I” or myself. 3. Contemplation of the mind (cittanupassana). Contemplation of the mind just as mind and just as a phenomenon with no sense of mine, “I” or myself. 4. Contemplation of mind objects(dhammanupassana). Contemplation of mind objects just as mind objects with no sense of mine, “I” or myself.
