Is this a freely available book? Where can I get the whole thing? Also looking for a comparison within the Tripitaka also.

The whole book is available in the link I gave above or, alternatively, [here](http://ahandfulofleaves.org/documents/Mindfulness-in-Early-Buddhism_Kuan.pdf). In addition, you can find most of what you are looking for in [*A History of Mindfulness*](http://santifm.org/santipada/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/A_History_of_Mindfulness_Bhikkhu_Sujato.pdf) by *Sujato Bhikkhu*.

<p>If you consolidate the instructions from the Tripitaka and other sources what would be the variations and additions to the instructions given in the Maha Satipatthana Sutta?</p>

The question in your text is different from the one in the title. What exactly do you want to compare? Satipatthana with Maha-Satipatthana? Or just Maha-Satipatthana with other sources?

If you compare Maha Sattipattana Sutta to the whole Tripitaka is it comprehensive or are there additional information or variations elsewhere?
