While Ven. Acariya Mun was staying in Wat Sapatumwan in Bangkok in the year 1930 approximately, he composed the booklet "Khandauimutti and Samangidhamma." This booklet is written in Thai in a semi-poetical form and it displays the teaching of the Buddha in an unusual but refreshing way.
Both at the beginning and at the end the author points out that this is a teaching by way of wisdom. There is little about samadhi or jhana in this booklet and it may rightly be called a wisdom teaching.
I have translated an English version with many corrections and "re-thinks'' and I believe that this translation follows the intended meaning of the author. I have made no attempt to follow the poetical manner of the original text for I don't claim to have any special ability as a poet. So I have tried to present the meaning that the author intended in a prose form, but I'm afraid that I may in due course see more hidden and deeper meanings in this text.
I have heard that there are some people who dispute that this was written by Achariya Mun the well known and great teacher. They say that there was another Acharn Mun in the same Wat at the same time. It is possible that this may be true, but the text which was written at that time by hand was quite clearly signed with the name "Phra Buridatta (Mun) Wat Srapratumwan the Author". It seems hardly likely that two Bhikkhus should have this unusual name at the same place and time.
