Vulnerability in the face of constant change is what we share, whatever our present condition.
Sharon Salzberg
In our own lives and in our communities, we need to find a way to include others rather than exclude them. We need to find a way to allow our pain and suffering, individually and collectively.
Sharon Salzberg
In a single moment we can understand we are not just facing a knee pain, or our discouragement and our wishing the sitting would end, but that right in the moment of seeing that knee pain, we're able to explore the teachings of the Buddha. What does it mean to have a painful experience? What does it mean to hate it, and to fear it?
Sharon Salzberg
The key to cultivating confidence in ourselves is understanding our right to make the truth our own.
Sharon Salzberg
Some things hurt, you know, and there's pain. But we magnify the suffering of it often, I think, by our reactions.
Sharon Salzberg
Faith is not a commodity we either have or don't have-it is an inner quality that unfolds as we learn to trust our own deepest experience.
Sharon Salzberg
Our practice rather than being about killing the ego is about simply discovering our true nature.
Sharon Salzberg
Meditation is a cyclical process that defies analysis, but demands acceptance.
Sharon Salzberg
My experience working with lots of creative people is that they don't lose their artistic edge when they lose a fierce level of anguish. They just create from a different place.
Sharon Salzberg
To sense which gifts to accept which to leave behind is our path to discovering freedom.
Sharon Salzberg
Throughout our lives we long to love ourselves more deeply and to feel connected with others. Instead, we often contract, fear intimacy, and suffer a bewildering sense of separation. We crave love, and yet we are lonely. Our delusion of being separate from one another, of being apart from all that is around us, gives rise to all of this pain.
Sharon Salzberg
You should never use the word Karma when talking about someone else, it's only a concept you should apply to yourself as a matter of investigation.
Sharon Salzberg
Seeking is endless. It never comes to a state of rest it never ceases.
Sharon Salzberg
It is taught, we too can be enlightened, every one of us. We can be completely freed from the bonds of limitation and conditioned confusion through our own endeavor, inspiration, effort and development. There is a path, and we can traverse it.
Sharon Salzberg
Mindfulness can play a big role in transforming our experience with pain & other difficulties it allows us to recognize the authenticity of the distress & yet not be overwhelmed by it.
Sharon Salzberg
Meditation trains the mind the way physical exercise strengthens the body.
Sharon Salzberg
Sometimes people don't trust the force of kindness. They think love or compassion or kindness will make you weak and kind of stupid and people will take advantage of you you won't stand up for other people.
Sharon Salzberg
Meditation is not the construction of something foreign, it is not an effort to attain and then hold on to a particular experience. We may have a secret desire that through meditation we will accumulate a stockpile of magical experiences, or at least a mystical trophy or two, and then we will be able to proudly display them for others to see.
Sharon Salzberg
It doesn't matter how long we may have been stuck in a sense of our limitations. If we go into a darkened room and turn on the light, it doesn't matter if the room has been dark for a day, a week, or ten thousand years - we turn on the light and it is illuminated. Once we control our capacity for love and happiness, the light has been turned on.
Sharon Salzberg
over time, offering loving kindness to all beings everywhere, including ourselves, unites us to one another so that we know that we can not go forward forgetting those left behind. Page 62
