This seminar traces the practitioner's path from the foundation of mindfulness and sitting practice, discovering ourselves with simplicity, to the continuity of awareness in working with our confusion and expectations. Describes the bare attention of mindfulness and the expansion into the totality of experiencing awareness. Concludes with the importance of relating with a genuine spiritual teacher, one who has made the journey to enlightenment and can bring the dharma out of the realm of myth and into reality for practitioners. Basis for Part 1 of the book THE PATH IS THE GOAL.
