I will love myself as long as I never make a mistake.
Sharon Salzberg
There are many different ways to practice meditation it's good to experiment until you find one that seems to suit you.
Sharon Salzberg
In order to do anything about the suffering of the world we must have the strength to face it without turning away.
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
To offer our hearts in faith means recognizing that our hearts are worth something, that we ourselves, in our deepest and truest nature, are of value.
Sharon Salzberg
You might have extensive bouts of thinking exceedingly nasty thoughts, but because you are relating to those thoughts with mindfulness and compassion, that's considered good meditation.
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
Meditation is not the construction of something foreign, it is not an effort to attain and then hold on to a particular experience. We may have a secret desire that through meditation we will accumulate a stockpile of magical experiences, or at least a mystical trophy or two, and then we will be able to proudly display them for others to see.
Sharon Salzberg
Mindfulness isn't difficult, we just need to remember to do it.
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

Sharon Salzberg
To relinquish the futile effort to control change is one of the strengthening forces of true detachment & thus true love.
Sharon Salzberg
What comes up is not nearly as important as how you relate to what comes up.
Sharon Salzberg
Meditation trains the mind the way physical exercise strengthens the body.
Sharon Salzberg
It is in the act of offering our hearts in faith that something in us transforms... proclaiming that we no longer stand on the sidelines but are leaping directly into the center of our lives, our truth, our full potential.
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
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
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
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
Resilience is based on compassion for ourselves as well as compassion for others
