Mindfulness, also called wise attention, helps us see what we’re adding to our experiences, not only during meditation sessions but also elsewhere.

True giving is a thoroughly joyous thing to do. We experience happiness when we form the intention to give, in the actual act of giving, and in the recollection of the fact that we have given. Generosity is a celebration. When we give something to someone we feel connected to them, and our commitment to the path of peace and awareness deepens.

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.

Meditation trains the mind the way physical exercise strengthens the body.
Sharon Salzberg
It is taught, we too can be enlightened, every one of us. We can be completely freed from the bonds of limitation and conditioned confusion through our own endeavor, inspiration, effort and development. There is a path, and we can traverse it.
Sharon Salzberg
You should never use the word Karma when talking about someone else, it's only a concept you should apply to yourself as a matter of investigation.
Sharon Salzberg
As an ability, love is always there as a potential, ready to flourish and help our lives flourish. As we go up and down in life, as we acquire or lose, as we are showered with praise or unfairly blamed, always within there is the ability of love, recognized or not, given life or not.
Sharon Salzberg
Resilience is based on compassion for ourselves as well as compassion for others
Sharon Salzberg
Find a gap between a trigger event and our usual conditioned response to it and by using that pause to collect ourselves and shift our response
Sharon Salzberg
