Satipatthāna with the whole text written in Pali is the important principles of meditation according to the Satipatthāna Sutta. Satipatthāna means “the foundations of mindfulness” is the ways of practice on the training of mindfulness in order to realize in the body, the feelings, the mind and the Dhamma and in order to understand the truth of the things as happened without keeping the mind under the power and control of defilements. The practice of mindfulness in the body movements makes the mind calm and not to be wandering and is the cause of finding peace of mind with having the presence of mind and in full procession of one’s senses. Colophon: Folio 49 on the recto side: Sangkat (CS) 1271, a kat hao year, on the first day of the waxing moon of the second lunar month, the third day of the week (Tuesday), a hwai set day, the writing was accomplished at the time of thae kai thiang van (between 9.00–10.30 o’clock). Nang Phia Xiang Nüa along with her children and all relatives had to most ardent religious faith to sponsor the making of this manuscript [entitled] Santipatthan (Satipatthana), to support the Teachings of Gotama Buddha to last until the end of 5000 years. May the alms that I have already given be a condition to reach Nibbāna certainly and constantly.
