Description of manuscript content:
The text mentions that on the Buddhist days, Buddhists should come to the temples for observing five precepts, eight precepts and listening to the preaching of the Dhamma. The text also mentions about the five advantages of listening to the Dhamma including 1. One hears what one has not heard before; 2. One clarifies what one has heards before; 3. One gets rid of doubt; 4. One’s view are made straight; and 5. One’s mind grows serene. Then the text explains the ten kinds of Kathāvatthu (subjects for discussion) known as Sallekha Dhamma (effacement). The last part describes the details of Appiccha-kathā อัปปิจฉกถาเรื่องความมักน้อย (talk about or favorable to want little).
