Kathavatthu (Subjects of discussion) is the fifth book of the Abhidhamma. The statement of the opinions of controversy occurred among the various schools during the third Great Assemble. Some of the content is written in Pali and some in Lao tells the principles or useful words which are for refining the passion, cessation of suffering, boredom, peacefulness, enlightenment and Nirvana. Colophon: Folio 39 on the recto side: In Chunlasangkat (CS) 1239, a moeng pao year on the thirteenth day of the waxing moon of the tenth lunar month, the fifth day of the week (Thursday), a hwai san day, the writing was accomplished at the time of tut sai kang van (between 12.00–13.30 o’clock). The initiator, Mae Thao (grandmother) Khamphio had the religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript [entitled] Aphithamma 7 khamphi (the seven books of Abhidhamma) to support the Teachings of the Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May I reach the three states of happiness. Nibbāna paccayo hotu niccaṃ dhuvaṃ (May this be a condition to reach Nibbāna, constantly and certainly).
