It's a rare and precious thing to be close to suffering because our society - in many ways - tells us that suffering is wrong. If it's our own suffering, we try to hide it or isolate ourselves. If others are suffering, we're taught to put them away somewhere so we don't have to see it.
Sharon Salzberg
By prizing heartfulness above faultlessness, we may reap more from our effort because we're more likely to be changed by it.

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.

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.

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
I think what we (as a society) need from artists of all kinds is courage, a willingness to explore, and a really big sense of possibility.
Sharon Salzberg
Faith is not a commodity that you either have or don't have enough of, or the right kind of. It's an ongoing process. The opposite of faith is despair.
Sharon Salzberg
To sense which gifts to accept which to leave behind is our path to discovering freedom.
Sharon Salzberg
The most common response I hear when I tell people I teach meditation is, I'm so stressed out. I could use some of that! A response I also sometimes hear, which amuses me a lot is, My partner should really meet you!
Sharon Salzberg
I've spent quite a bit of my life as a meditation teacher and writer commending the strengths of love and compassion.
Sharon Salzberg
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
As we practice meditation we are bringing forth ease, presence, compassion, wisdom & trust.
Sharon Salzberg
For all of us, love can be the natural state of our own being naturally at peace, naturally connected, because this becomes the reflection of who we simply are.
