More quotes by Sharon Salzberg
Even on the spiritual path, we have things we'll tend to cover up or be in denial about.
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
I will love myself as long as I never make a mistake.
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 relinquish the futile effort to control change is one of the strengthening forces of true detachment & thus true love.
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
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
We do good because it frees the heart. It opens us to a wellspring of happiness.
Sharon Salzberg
Mindfulness needs to not be judgmental to really be mindfulness, which means it needs a basis of loving kindness.
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
Dedicating some time to meditation is a meaningful expression of caring for yourself that can help you move through the mire of feeling unworthy of recovery. As your mind grows quieter and more spacious, you can begin to see self-defeating thought patterns for what they are, and open up to other, more positive options.
Sharon Salzberg
Voting is like alchemy - taking an abstract value and breathing life into it.
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
Sharon Salzberg
As we practice meditation we are bringing forth ease, presence, compassion, wisdom & trust.
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
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
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
We need the courage to learn from our past and not live in it.
Sharon Salzberg
By practicing meditation we establish love, compassion, sympathetic joy & equanimity as our home.
