The text tells about the strange behaviors of the major groups of the people in the world when the Teachings of the Buddha have passed for 3,000 years. They will not believe in the teachings of their parents or teachers. They will become selfish, greedy, highly conceited and have wrong view. They will respect the parent spirits, guardian spirits and deities as the refuge. They will not believe in the Buddha’s teachings. Even if they have heard the preaching by monks, they will not believe in and not follow the teachings. Therefore, the Teachings of the Buddha have gradually declined along the time. Colophon: Folio 17 on the verso side: Sangkat (CS) 1205, a kot sanga year], on the second day of the waxing moon of the fourth lunar month, the third day of the week (Tuesday), the writing of this manuscript was accomplished at the time of thae kai thiang (between 9.00–10.30 o’clock). Phrarasa Kanha had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Sanghòm That to support the Teachings of Gotama Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May my wishes and desires come true.
