In the practice of the kammatthana, the way to practice the meditation in the basic level is to pray in mind a principle with a short word or to count the numbers in the mind such as 1-5. When the praying reaches the number 5, then starts it again. When we repeat it many times, the mind will get concentration and reaches the five jhāna (absorption). The word "jhāna" means “watching”. It means a state of calm and steadfast mind due to focusing on an emotion or concentrating on an emotion until the mind becomes concentrated. Colophon: Folio 18 on the recto side: Chunlasangkat (CS) 1255, a ka sai year, on the third day of the waning moon of the ninth lunar month, Sunday, a ka mao day, the writing of this manuscript was accomplished at the time of kòng laeng (between 13.30–15.00 o’clock). Mòm (Monk) Phummi from Vat Xiang Thong had the most ardent religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript entitled Munla Kammathan to support the Teachings of Gotama Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May my wishes and desires come true, definitely. Nibbāna paccayo hontu no sadhu sadhu niccaṃ dhuvaṃ dhuvaṃ paramaṃ sukhaṃ (May this be a condition for us to reach Nirvanaa, amen, constantly and certainly, the greatest bliss).
