Description of manuscript content:
The text mentions about the introduction for initiating of practicing kammatthana (meditation exercises). The practitioner should undertake the kammatthana from the Buddha. If no the Buddha, he can undertake from the arahant. If there is no arahant, he can undertake from the teacher who is knowledgeable on Tripitaka. If no teacher, he can undertake from the person who refuges in the Triple Gem. Finally, if not of any, he can undertake by himself.
