Meditation
More quotes by Sharon Salzberg
To cherish others is to cherish ourselves. To cherish ourselves is to cherish others. And in that same way, we relate to the truth. If we support it, if we embrace it, if we uphold it, we will be embraced by it, we will be supported and upheld by it.
Sharon Salzberg
As we practice meditation we are bringing forth ease, presence, compassion, wisdom & trust.
Sharon Salzberg
We can learn the art of fierce compassion - redefining strength, deconstructing isolation and renewing a sense of community, practicing letting go of rigid us-vs.-them thinking - while cultivating power and clarity in response to difficult situations.
Sharon Salzberg
Every day seems to reveal a new piece of research about meditation, or new clinical applications of mindfulness or compassion practice, or new corporations or foundations or non-profits bringing mindfulness to work.
Sharon Salzberg
Mindfulness needs to not be judgmental to really be mindfulness, which means it needs a basis of loving kindness.
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
We need the courage to learn from our past and not live in it.
Sharon Salzberg
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
Fearful of wasting a second, we hoard time as if it were money.
Sharon Salzberg
My ideal registration system would be an opt-out one, where every single person is registered once they turn 18. In Australia, I’m told, everyone is registered to vote and you pay a fine if you don’t vote.
Sharon Salzberg
Rapture is the gateway to nirvana.
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
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
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
I will love myself as long as I never make a mistake.
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
Sharon Salzberg
We do good because it frees the heart. It opens us to a wellspring of happiness.
Sharon Salzberg
Our practice rather than being about killing the ego is about simply discovering our true nature.
Sharon Salzberg
What comes up is not nearly as important as how you relate to what comes up.
Sharon Salzberg
Restore your attention or bring it to a new level by dramatically slowing down whatever you're doing.
