It seems to be a Vinaya text. Rules, especially for monks. There are a few people here thinking of becoming monks, so that works. I'm just not one of them.

It begins with explaining the benefits of ordaining in an elegant way.Inedible wrote: There are a few people here thinking of becoming monks, so that works.
Not bhikkhu Vinaya but novice monks' training included.Inedible wrote: It seems to be a Vinaya text. Rules, especially for monks.
Mainly it is a compendium of important Dhamma points for an ordination candidate in an attractive way.

This is the book which almost all monks (specially forest monks) in Sri Lanka have read before their ordination.
It was written by Rerukane Chandavimala Mahathera, the Ledi Sayadaw of Sri Lanka.
There is no any Abhidhamma expert to be found in the island who has not been regularly using his Abhidhamma books.
Up to the present day, he is the most appreciated Dhamma-book author in Sri Lanka.

To reap the real benefits of pabbajja in the Buddha sāsana
one must ordain both mind and body.
Pabbajja is unpleasant for one who has a lay mind
but ordained in body only.
