Metta sees truly that our integrity is inviolate, no matter what our life situation may be. We do not need to fear anything. We are whole: our deepest happiness is intrinsic to the nature of our minds, and it is not damaged through uncertainty and change.

When we are devoted to the development of kindness, it becomes our ready response, so that reacting from compassion, from caring, is not a question of giving ourselves a lecture: 'I don't really feel like it, but I'd better be helpful, or what would people think?'
Sharon Salzberg
The movement of the heart as we practice generosity in the outer world mirrors the movement of the heart when we let go of conditioned views about ourselves on our inner journey. Letting go creates a joyful sense of space in our minds

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.

Sharon Salzberg
Compassion allows us to bear witness to suffering, whether it is in ourselves or others, without fear it allows us to name injustice without hesitation, to act strongly, with all the skill at our disposal.
Sharon Salzberg
We do good because it frees the heart. It opens us to a wellspring of happiness.
Sharon Salzberg
Even on the spiritual path, we have things we'll tend to cover up or be in denial about.
Sharon Salzberg
The cultivation of generosity is the beginning of spiritual awakening. Generosity has tremendous force because it arises from an inner quality of letting go. Being able to let go, to give up, to renounce, and to give generously all spring from the same source, and when we practice generosity ... we open up these qualities within ourselves.
Sharon Salzberg
As an ability, love is always there as a potential, ready to flourish and help our lives flourish. As we go up and down in life, as we acquire or lose, as we are showered with praise or unfairly blamed, always within there is the ability of love, recognized or not, given life or not.
Sharon Salzberg
At 9:10 I'm going to be filled with self-hatred.
Sharon Salzberg
The embodiment of kindness is often made difficult by our long ingrained patterns of fear & jealousy.
