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
As we practice meditation we are bringing forth ease, presence, compassion, wisdom & trust.
Sharon Salzberg
Some people have a mistaken idea that all thoughts disappear through meditation and we enter a state of blankness. There certainly are times of great tranquility when concentration is strong and we have few, if any, thoughts. But other times, we can be flooded with memories, plans or random thinking. It's important not to blame yourself.

The cultivation of generosity is the beginning of spiritual awakening. Generosity has tremendous force because it arises from an inner quality of letting go. Being able to let go, to give up, to renounce, and to give generously all spring from the same source, and when we practice generosity ... we open up these qualities within ourselves.

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.

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
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

Its never too late to take a moment to look.
Sharon Salzberg
The key to cultivating confidence in ourselves is understanding our right to make the truth our own.
Sharon Salzberg
We often get caught up in our own reactions and forget the vulnerability of the person in front of us.
Sharon Salzberg
Mindfulness allows us to watch our thoughts, see how one thought leads to the next, decide if we're heading down an unhealthy path, and, if so, let go and change directions.
Sharon Salzberg
Let the power of intention lead the way.
Sharon Salzberg
Faith is not a commodity we either have or don't have-it is an inner quality that unfolds as we learn to trust our own deepest experience.
Sharon Salzberg
Because the development of inner calm and energy happens completely within and isn't dependent on another person or a particular situation, we begin to feel a resourcefulness and independence that is quite beautiful - and a huge relief.
Sharon Salzberg
By practicing meditation we establish love, compassion, sympathetic joy & equanimity as our home.
