Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Training attention through meditation opens our eyes.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “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 Quote: “Having’ something makes us think we can control it.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “No connection is always easy or free of strife, no matter how many minutes a day we meditate. It’s how we relate to conflict, as well as to our differing needs and expectations, that makes our relationships sustainable.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Hatred does not help us alleviate our pain even in the slightest.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “When we believe a wounding story, our whole world is diminished.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “What happens in our hearts is our field of freedom. As long as we carry old wounds and anger in our hearts, we continue to suffer. Forgiveness allows us to move on.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “When our focus is on seeking, perfecting, or clinging to romance, the charge is often generated by instability, rather than by an authentic connection with another person.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “There is no reason for a feeling of separation from anything or anyone, because we have been it all and done it all. How then can we feel self-righteous or removed from anyone or any action? Ther is no spot on this earth where we have not laughed, cried, been born and died. So in some sense, every single place we go is home. Everyone we meet we know. Everything that is done we are capable of.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “One of the most powerful aspects of delusion, or ignorance, is the belief that what we do does not really matter.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “A key barometer to help us weigh the rightness of our actions is self-respect.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Can you revise your perceptions to see the world in terms of suffering and the end of suffering, instead of good and bad? To see the world in terms of suffering and the end of suffering is Buddha-mind, and will lead us away from righteousness and anger. Get in touch with your own Buddha-mind, and you will uncover a healing force of compassion.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “I need to start over. I can’t just stay stuck in this place.” This is a wonderful skill to bring to your life.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “The overarching practice of letting go is also one of gaining resilience and insight.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “When we don’t tell those we love about what’s really going on or listen carefully to what they have to say, we tend to fill in the blanks with stories.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “If we define ourselves by each of the ever-changing feelings that cascade through us, how will we ever feel at home in our own bodies and minds?”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “To celebrate someone else’s life, we need to find a way to look at it straight on, not from above with judgment or from below with envy.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Narcissistic love has nothing to do with accountability.” In other words, when we cultivate tenderness and compassion for the whole of our experiences – the difficult and hurtful parts, in addition to the triumphs – we naturally behave more kindly and responsibly toward others.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Even as we recognize our resentment, bitterness, or jealousy, we can also honor our own wish to be happy, to feel free.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “I see real love as the most fundamental of our innate capacities, never destroyed no matter what we might have gone through or might yet go through.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “When you recognize and reflect on even one good thing about yourself, you are building a bridge to a place of kindness and caring.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Loving ourselves calls us to give up the illusion that we can control everything and focuses us on building our inner resource of resilience.”

Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Our vision becomes very narrow when we need things to be a certain way and cannot accept things the way they actually are.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “The man felt that she had not been a very good mother and was not a good person. At one point, Nisargadatta advised him to love his mother. The man replied, “She wouldn’t let me.” Nisargadatta responded, “She couldn’t stop you.” No external condition can prevent love; no one and no thing can stop it. The awakening of love is not bound up in things being a certain way. Metta, like the true nature of the mind, is not dependent; it is not conditioned.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Once we are honest about our feelings, we can invite ourselves to consider alternative modes of viewing our pain and can see that releasing our grip on anger and resentment can actually be an act of self-compassion.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Everyone we interact with has the capacity to surprise us in an infinite number of ways. What can first open us up to each of our innate capacities for love is merely to recognize that.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “For any marginalized group to change the story that society tells about them takes courage and perseverance.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Ultimately, we forgive others in order to free ourselves.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Mindfulness helps us see the addictive aspect of self-criticism – a repetitive cycle of flaying ourselves again and again, feeling the pain anew.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “If we truly loved ourselves, we’d never harm another. That is a truly revolutionary, celebratory mode of self-care.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “By experimenting with sympathetic joy, we break from the constricted world of individual struggle and see that joy exists in more places than we have yet imagined.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Our senses are often the gateway to our stories.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Only when we start to distinguish reality from fantasy that we can humbly, with eyes wide open, forge loving and sustainable connections with others.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Genuine awe connects us with the world in a new way.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Buddhist teachings discourage us from clinging and grasping to those we hold dear, and from trying to control the people or the relationship. What’s more, we’re encouraged to accept the impermanence of all things: the flower that blooms today will be gone tomorrow, the objects we possess will break or fade or lose their utility, our relationships will change, life will end.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Our can-do culture has made many of us believe that we should always be self-sufficient. Somewhere along the way, we also got the message that asking for help is a sign of weakness. We often forget that we’re interdependent creatures whose very existence depends on the kindness of others, including – with a bow to Tennessee Williams – strangers.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “By accepting and learning to embrace the inevitable sorrows of life, we realize that we can experience a more enduring sense of happiness.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Taking responsibility for oneself is by definition an act of kindness.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “When we forgive someone, we don’t pretend that the harm didn’t happen or cause us pain. We see it clearly for what it was, but we also come to see that fixating on the memory of harm generates anger and sadness.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “What we learn in meditation, we can apply to all other realms of our lives.”
Sharon Salzberg Quote: “Embracing what is We’re conditioned to believe that painful feelings are “bad” and that pleasurable ones are “good.” It’s often easier – though not healthier – for us to avoid grief and sorrow, while only embracing sensations like happiness, confidence, and love.”

Sharon Salzberg Quote: “We can always begin again. No matter what happens, no matter how long its been, no matter how far from our aspirations we may have strayed, we can always always begin again.”
