Hmmm - my very limited understanding of xpath says that /book/body/chapter/p should work.
Some quick testing with XPath Expression Testbed shows both /book/body/chapter/p and /book/body/chapter//p selecting the right nodes. I'm not sure what's up. Are you actually looking for /book/body/chapter/p/text() ? That would select the text of the paras rather than the nodes. I'm not too familiar with how DIH uses xpath expressions though.
