Hey there B,
Bailey .:
Have you read it? Why is it cool?
Have I read it? I was just able to order it for kindle application, so I am reading it. The paperback is available March 18 on AMZN.
Why is it cool, you ask? Well, I can say for myself that I take interest in Analayo's work because he's thorough in his documentation, meaning he has many footnotes in his books and I value this because I can then go see for myself whence comes his basis of instruction and his basis of practice.
The previous documentation and writing of Analāyo based on Pali texts leads to me consider that his study of Tibetan and Chinese texts (included in his new book) may be as thoroughly researched and documented, that his new book on the satipatthana (the four categorical places where the mind may establish itself) will probably be a helpful use of my time like his other writings. And so far it's been helpful.
Still, an inference is not a valid basis for making absolute statements.
