By practicing meditation we establish love, compassion, sympathetic joy & equanimity as our home.
Sharon SalzbergWe donโt need any sort of religious orientation to lead a life that is ethical, compassionate & kind.
Sharon SalzbergWhile you are meditating, if your mind wanders, gently bring it back to the present moment.
Sharon SalzbergOne of the primary conditions for suffering is denial. Shutting our mind to pain, whether in ourselves or others, only ensures that it will continue. We must have the strength to face it without turning away. By opening to the pain we see around us with wisdom and compassion, we start to experience the intimate connection of our relationship with all beings.
