We find greater lightness & ease in our lives as we increasingly care for ourselves & other beings.
Sharon SalzbergWhat unites us as human beings is an urge for happiness which at heart is a yearning for union.
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.
Sharon SalzbergWe 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.
