The Buddha delivered this Nibbāna Sutta to his followers while staying at the Jetavanna Monastery in Savatthi. The content describes about the making of merit including alms-giving, observing precepts, listening to Dhamma preaching, and meditating. In there, the observing precepts are the initial way to enter Nirvana. Only giving alms but not observing precepts, after death, can be born as a ghost like the story of a couple millionaires. The result of sponsoring the making of, or writing this manuscript and offering it to the Sangha can support the ghosts to be born in a good place in heavens. Colophon: Folio 29 on the recto side: Sangkat (CS) 1292, a huang mot year, on the eight day of the waning moon of the first lunar month, the first day of the week (Sunday), the writing of this manuscript was accomplished at the time of tut tang or at 5 o’clock in the morning. Thit Siphan and Sao Chanda from Kang village together with all their children, grandchildren and relatives seeing that the Teachings of the Buddha would be declined, jointly sponsord the making of this manuscript entitled Thamma Nipphanasut (Nibbāna Sutta), to prolong the age the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May we all reach the states of happiness and enjoyness in every existence to last until entering Nirvanaa definitely. Sadhu, sadhu anumodami.
