We are all too often told by someone that we are too old, too young, too different, too much the same, and those comments can be devastating.
Sharon Salzberg
Things don't just happen in this world of arising and passing away. We don't live in some kind of crazy, accidental universe. Things happen according to certain laws, laws of nature. Laws such as the law of karma, which teaches us that as a certain seed gets planted, so will that fruit be.

Love and concern for all are not things some of us are born with and others are not. Rather, they are results of what we do with our minds: We can choose to transform our minds so that they embody love, or we can allow them to develop habits and false concepts of separation.
Sharon Salzberg
The embodiment of kindness is often made difficult by our long ingrained patterns of fear & jealousy.
Sharon Salzberg
We do good because it frees the heart. It opens us to a wellspring of happiness.
Sharon Salzberg
Seeking is endless. It never comes to a state of rest it never ceases.
Sharon Salzberg
As we work to reweave the strands of connection, we can be supported by the wisdom and lovingkindness of others.
Sharon Salzberg
We need the courage to learn from our past and not live in it.
Sharon Salzberg
The Buddha said that no true spiritual life is possible without a generous heart. . . . Generosity allies itself with an inner feeling of abundance - the feeling that we have enough to share.
Sharon Salzberg
Voting is like alchemy - taking an abstract value and breathing life into it.
Sharon Salzberg
We need the compassion and the courage to change the conditions that support our suffering. Those conditions are things like ignorance, bitterness, negligence, clinging, and holding on.
Sharon Salzberg
In those moments when we realize how much we cannot control, we can learn to let go.
