Sharon Salzberg Quote: “My earliest experiences in meditation were in a context of intensive retreats.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “At 9:10 I’m going to be filled with self-hatred.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “If we are nothing, there is nothing at all to serve as a barrier to our boundless expression of love. Being nothing in this way, we are also, inevitably, everything. ‘Everything’ does not mean self-aggrandizement, but a decisive recognition of interconnection; we are not separate. Both the clear, open space of ‘nothing’ and the interconnected mess of ‘everything’ awakens us to our true nature.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “With the practice of meditation we can develop this ability to more fully love ourselves and to more consistently love others.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “If you’re reading these words, perhaps it’s because something has kicked open the door for you, and you’re ready to embrace change. It isn’t enough to appreciate change from afar, or only in the abstract, or as something that can happen to other people but not to you. We need to create change for ourselves, in a workable way, as part of our everyday lives.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Cultivation of positive emotions, including self-love and self-respect, strengthens our inner resources and opens us to a broader range of thoughts and actions.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “The foundation of metta practice is to know how to be our own friend. According to the Buddha, “You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “I call myself a meditation teacher rather than a spiritual teacher.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “When we set an intention to explore our emotional hot spots, we create a pathway to real love.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Compassion isn’t morose; it’s something replenishing and opening; that’s why it makes us happy.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Once someone appears to us primarily as an object, kindness has no place to root.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Mindfulness won’t ensure you’ll win an argument with your sister. Mindfulness won’t enable you to bypass your feelings of anger or hurt either. But it may help you see the conflict in a new way, one that allows you to break through old patterns.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “To truly love ourselves, we must challenge our beliefs that we need to be different or better.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “To truly love ourselves, we must open to our wholeness, rather than clinging to the shivers of ourselves represented by old stories. Living in a story of a limited self – to any degree – is not love.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “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 Quote: “The Buddha actually described at some length what he meant by being a good friend in the world. He talked about a good friend as someone who is constant in our times of happiness and also in our times of adversity or unhappiness. A friend will not forsake us when we are in trouble nor rejoice in our misfortune. The Buddha described a true friend as being a helper, someone who will protect us when we are unable to take care of ourselves, who will be a refuge to us when we are afraid.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “The heart is a generous muscle.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “We cannot instantaneously force ourselves to forgive – and forgiveness happens at a different pace for everyone and is dependent on the particulars of any given situation.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “As soon as we ask whether or not a story is true in the present moment, we empower ourselves to re-frame it.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Effort is the unconstrained willingness to persevere through difficulty. It is not a harsh, straining, desperate effort but, rather, an ardent and wholehearted remembrance of our capacity for freedom. Right Effort is willingness to open where we have been closed, to come close to what we have avoided, to be patient with ourselves, and to let go of our preconceptions.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “The Dalai Lama has said: “My religion is kindness.” If we all adopted such a stance and embodied it in thought and action, inner and outer peace would be immediate, for in reality they are never not present, only obscured, waiting to be discovered. This is the work and the power of lovingkindness, the embrace that allows no separation between self, others, and events – the affirmation and honoring of a core goodness in others and in oneself.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “The Buddha taught that we can feel pleasure fully, yet without craving or clinging, without defining it as our ultimate happiness. We can feel pain fully without condemning or hating it. And we can experience neutral events by being fully present, so that they are not just fill-in times until something more exciting comes along.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Just as a prism refracts light differently when you change its angle, each experience of love illuminates love in new ways, drawing from an infinite palette of patterns and hues.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Smiling at someone can have significant health consequences.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Learning to treat ourselves lovingly may at first feel like a dangerous experiment.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Looking at people and communicating that they can be loved, and that they can love in return, is giving them a tremendous gift. It is also a gift to ourselves. We see that we are one with the fabric of life. This is the power of metta: to teach ourselves and our world this inherent loveliness.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Kindness is really at the core of what it means to be and feel alive.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Doing nothing means unplugging from the compulsion to always keep ourselves busy, the habit of shielding ourselves from certain feelings, the tension of trying to manipulate our experience before we even fully acknowledge what that experience is.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “We are all too often told by someone that we are too old, too young, too different, too much the same, and those comments can be devastating.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “We’re capable of much more than mediocrity, much more than merely getting by in this world.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Even when we do our very best to treat those close to us with utmost respect and understanding, conflict happens. That’s life. That’s human nature.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Can we allow the lives of others to be different from ours and feel happy for them? Can we rejoice for them as their happiness grows, in whatever way that is happening?”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “With a clear intention and a willing spirit, sooner or later we experience the joy and freedom that arises when we recognize our common humanity with others and see that real love excludes no one.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Equanimity can be hard to talk about.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Compassion grows in us when we know how the energy of love is available all around us.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Forgiveness is a personal process that doesn’t depend on us having direct contact with the people who have hurt us.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “When we feel conflicted about a particular decision or action, our bodies often hold the answer – if we take the time to stop and tune in.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “As we practice meditation, we get used to stillness and eventually are able to make friends with the quietness of our sensations.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “When we learn to respond to disappointments with acceptance, we give ourselves the space to realize that all our experiences – good and bad alike – are opportunities to learn and grow.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Forgiveness can be bittersweet. It contains the sweetness of the release of a story that has caused us pain, but also the poignant reminder that even our dearest relationships change over the course of a lifetime.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “When we relate to ourselves with loving kindness, perfectionism naturally drops away.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “We cannot simply forgive and forget, nor should we.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “When we can step back even briefly from our hurt, sorrow, and anger, when we put our faith in the possibility of change, we create the possibility for non-judgmental inquiry that aims for healing rather than victory.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “It is awareness of both our shared pain and our longing for happiness that links us to other people and helps us to turn toward them with compassion.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “When we respond to our pain and suffering with love, understanding, and acceptance – for ourselves, as well as others – over time, we can let go of our anger, even when we’ve been hurt to the core. But that doesn’t mean we ever forget.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Letting go – abandoning, relinquishing – is actually the same mind state as generosity. So the practice of giving deeply influences the feeling tone of our meditation practice, and vice versa.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “May my practice be dedicated to your well-being.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Causing harm is never just a one-way street.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “What arises in our experience is much less important than how we relate to what arises in our experience.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “The difference between a life laced through with frustration and one sustained by happiness depends on whether it is motivated by self-hatred or by real love for oneself.”
