On one occasion, the Buddha was present at the Jetavana monastery in Savatthi. At the time, Venerable Maha Anuruttara, came the presence of the Buddha and asked him about the conditions of birth of the human beings. What is the condition of those who are born in this life, if they are born in the next life, will they remain in that state or not? Being born as a good person with wisdom in this life, the nation will be good and wise or not, and if born as a bad person in this life, will the one be born as a bad person or not? The Buddha then preached a sermon to Venerable Maha Anuruttara by explaining about Citta (consciousness), Cetasika (mental factors), and Pubbhakamma kamma (the results of former actions) that happened when one was still a human being, the cause of death and rebirth in the round of rebirths and the result of karma that will lead us to be born in the next worlds. Colophon: Folio 25 on the recto side: In Buddhist Era (BE) 2471, a poek si year, tricycle, in spring, on the first day of the waxing moon of the eleventh lunar month, Sunday. I am Monk Phothipannya, abbot of Vat Pamuang temple together with disciples and lay sponsors had the religious faith to sponsor the making of these five manuscript-fascicles entitled Chetanaphetha (Cetanābedā) to support the Teachings of Gotama Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May my desires and wishes come true. May this be a condition for me to reach Nirvana, constantly.
