Metta sees truly that our integrity is inviolate, no matter what our life situation may be. We do not need to fear anything. We are whole: our deepest happiness is intrinsic to the nature of our minds, and it is not damaged through uncertainty and change.
Sharon SalzbergWe donโt need any sort of religious orientation to lead a life that is ethical, compassionate & kind.
Sharon SalzbergThroughout our lives we long to love ourselves more deeply and to feel connected with others. Instead, we often contract, fear intimacy, and suffer a bewildering sense of separation. We crave love, and yet we are lonely. Our delusion of being separate from one another, of being apart from all that is around us, gives rise to all of this pain.
Sharon SalzbergWe all want to be happy. We need to expand the notion of what that means, to make it bigger and wiser.
