Sharon Salzberg
Vulnerability in the face of constant change is what we share, whatever our present condition.
Sharon Salzberg
By practicing meditation we establish love, compassion, sympathetic joy & equanimity as our home.
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 order to do anything about the suffering of the world we must have the strength to face it without turning away.
Sharon Salzberg
We need the courage to learn from our past and not live in it.
