Well, in a sense, as probably people can guess, get from listening to this, we're talking about mindfulness is really talking about the timeless. So in that sense, the meditation practice as it's mapped out in that book is timeless and why put out a second, another edition.

There have been many editions, but this was the one which I redid it to whatever degree I felt it needed redoing and put a new forward on and a new afterward.

And so I wrote some very personal stuff in the new forward and in the new afterward, almost like a completion of something, talking about a story from ancient China in the Zen tradition of the Tang Dynasty, which is started in the 600s, and then completed it at the back in the afterward to carry the reader through the whole thing and understanding
