Sharon Salzberg Quotes

Restore your attention or bring it to a new level by dramatically slowing down whatever you’re doing Picture Quote #1

We use mindfulness to observe the way we cling to pleasant experiences and push away unpleasant ones Picture Quote #1

In those moments when we realize how much we cannot control, we can learn to let go Picture Quote #1

Compassion allows us to bear witness to suffering, whether it is in ourselves or others, without fear; it allows us to name injustice without hesitation, to act strongly, with all the skill at our disposal Picture Quote #1

We can travel a long way in life and do many things, but our deepest happiness is not born from accumulating new experiences. it is born from letting go of what is unnecessary, and knowing ourselves to be always at home Picture Quote #1

With the practice of meditation we can develop this ability to more fully love ourselves and to more consistently love others Picture Quote #1

Meditation may be done in silence and stillness, by using voice and sound, or by engaging the body in movement. All forms emphasize the training of attention Picture Quote #1

Mindfulness can play a big role in transforming our experience with pain and other difficulties; it allows us to recognize the authenticity of the distress and yet not be overwhelmed by it Picture Quote #1

To relinquish the futile effort to control change is one of the strengthening forces of true detachment and thus true love Picture Quote #1

Each of us has a genuine capacity for love, forgiveness, wisdom and compassion. Meditation awakens these qualities so that we can discover for ourselves the unique happiness that is our birthright Picture Quote #1

To be truly happy in this world is a revolutionary act... It is a radical change of view that liberates us so that we know who we are most deeply and can acknowledge our enormous ability to love Picture Quote #1

Meditation isn’t about what’s happening; it’s about how you relate to what’s happening Picture Quote #1

When we practice metta, we open continuously to the truth of our actual experience, changing our relationship to life Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Meditation teaches us to focus and to pay clear attention to our experiences and responses as they arise, and to observe them without judging them Picture Quote #1

It is taught, we too can be enlightened, every one of us. We can be completely freed from the bonds of limitation and conditioned confusion through our own endeavor, inspiration, effort and development. There is a path, and we can traverse it Picture Quote #1

Find a gap between a trigger event and our usual conditioned response to it and by using that pause to collect ourselves and shift our response Picture Quote #1

Compassion grows in us when we know how the energy of love is available all around us Picture Quote #1

In order to do anything about the suffering of the world we must have the strength to face it without turning away Picture Quote #1

Often we can achieve an even better result when we stumble yet are willing to start over, when we don’t give up after a mistake, when something doesn’t come easily but we throw ourselves into trying, when we’re not afraid to appear less than perfectly polished Picture Quote #1

Things don’t just happen in this world of arising and passing away. We don’t live in some kind of crazy, accidental universe. Things happen according to certain laws, laws of nature. Laws such as the law of karma, which teaches us that as a certain seed gets planted, so will that fruit be Picture Quote #1

Patience doesn’t mean making a pact with the devil of denial, ignoring our emotions and aspirations. It means being wholeheartedly engaged in the process that’s unfolding, rather than ripping open a budding flower or demanding a caterpillar hurry up and get that chrysalis stage over with Picture Quote #1

As we look around, it’s very clear that in this world people do outrageous things to one another all of the time. It’s not that these qualities or actions make us bad people, but they bring tremendous suffering if we don’t know how to work with them Picture Quote #1

When we see the relatedness of ourselves to the universe, that we do not live as isolated entities, untouched by what is going on around us, not affecting what is going on around us, when we see through that, that we are interrelated, then we can see that to protect others is to protect ourselves, and to protect ourselves is to protect others Picture Quote #1

Meditation is not the construction of something foreign, it is not an effort to attain and then hold on to a particular experience. We may have a secret desire that through meditation we will accumulate a stockpile of magical experiences, or at least a mystical trophy or two, and then we will be able to proudly display them for others to see Picture Quote #1
