I never realized that. Thank you!

I've been looking for a good getting started guide to meditation. The book seems like a great resource. I will definitely read it.

Consider reading http://www.accesstoinsight.org/index-subject.html#vipassana for some further discussion (and that whole website for a vast store of information on Buddhism) and glancing at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Buddhist_traditions_t... to see the Theravada tradition's significance in the history of Buddhism.
