No, I haven't seen that trailer, but I'll check it out right now. Gunaratana is generally very clear, but sometimes when it comes to describing certain experiences his descriptions certainly don't correspond with my own experience and understanding. This is the case with the eightfold path book, although as I said I'm enjoying it for the most part. Hi Bobby. No, I haven’t seen that trailer, but I’ll check it out right now.

It looks like a potentially interesting twist on the vampire genre. I've read Gunaratana's "Mindfulness in Plain English" and enjoyed it - although his summary description of the "sign" or "counter-part sign" of meditation left me feeling a little perplexed and wanting a little more depth and detail than he was willing to provide in that book, as perhaps it would have belied the promise of "plain english". I'm curious to read more of him. Have you seen the trailer for “Daybreakers”? It looks like a potentially interesting twist on the vampire genre.
