Whatever life presents us, our response can be an expression of our compassion.
Sharon Salzberg
Everyone loses touch with their aspiration, and we need the heart to return to what we really care about. All of this is based on developing greater lovingkindness and compassion.

Meditation may be done in silence & stillness, by using voice & sound, or by engaging the body in movement. All forms emphasize the training of attention.

As we practice meditation we are bringing forth ease, presence, compassion, wisdom & trust.

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
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!

Distraction wastes our energy, concentration restores it.

Our practice rather than being about killing the ego is about simply discovering our true nature.
Sharon Salzberg

Sharon Salzberg
By prizing heartfulness above faultlessness, we may reap more from our effort because we're more likely to be changed by it.
Sharon Salzberg
In those moments when we realize how much we cannot control, we can learn to let go.
Sharon Salzberg
What comes up is not nearly as important as how you relate to what comes up.
Sharon Salzberg
Seeking is endless. It never comes to a state of rest it never ceases.
Sharon Salzberg
We do good because it frees the heart. It opens us to a wellspring of happiness.

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
We often get caught up in our own reactions and forget the vulnerability of the person in front of us.
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.
