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!

More quotes by Sharon Salzberg
What comes up is not nearly as important as how you relate to what comes up.
Sharon Salzberg
For all of us, love can be the natural state of our own being naturally at peace, naturally connected, because this becomes the reflection of who we simply are.
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
To sense which gifts to accept which to leave behind is our path to discovering freedom.
Sharon Salzberg
It is so powerful when we can leave behind our ordinary identities, no longer think of ourselves primarily as a conductor, or writer, or salesclerk, and go to a supportive environment to deeply immerse in meditation practice.
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
Some things hurt, you know, and there's pain. But we magnify the suffering of it often, I think, by our reactions.
Sharon Salzberg
Our practice rather than being about killing the ego is about simply discovering our true nature.
Sharon Salzberg
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
I will love myself as long as I never make a mistake.
Sharon Salzberg
You are capable of so much more than we usually dare to imagine
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
We do good because it frees the heart. It opens us to a wellspring of happiness.
Sharon Salzberg
When we are devoted to the development of kindness, it becomes our ready response, so that reacting from compassion, from caring, is not a question of giving ourselves a lecture: 'I don't really feel like it, but I'd better be helpful, or what would people think?'
Sharon Salzberg
Resilience is based on compassion for ourselves as well as compassion for others
Sharon Salzberg
The key to cultivating confidence in ourselves is understanding our right to make the truth our own.
Sharon Salzberg
Distraction wastes our energy, concentration restores it.
Sharon Salzberg
We often get caught up in our own reactions and forget the vulnerability of the person in front of us.
Sharon Salzberg
Whatever life presents us, our response can be an expression of our compassion.

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.
