Real Happiness: The Power of Meditation
Sharon Salzberg
Top 10 Best Quotes
“It is never too late to turn on the light. Your ability to break an unhealthy habit or turn off an old tape doesn't depend on how long it has been running; a shift in perspective doesn't depend on how long you've held on to the old view. When you flip the switch in that attic, it doesn't matter whether its been dark for ten minutes, ten years or ten decades. The light still illuminates the room and banishes the murkiness, letting you see the things you couldn't see before. Its never too late to take a moment to look.”
“Mindfulness helps us get better at seeing the difference between what’s happening and the stories we tell ourselves about what’s happening, stories that get in the way of direct experience. Often such stories treat a fleeting state of mind as if it were our entire and permanent self.”
“Restore your attention or bring it to a new level by dramatically slowing down whatever you're doing.”
“Meditation is the ultimate mobile device; you can use it anywhere, anytime, unobtrusively.”
“Mindfulness isn't difficult, we just need to remember to do it.”
“Mindfulness, also called wise attention, helps us see what we’re adding to our experiences, not only during meditation sessions but also elsewhere.”
“Loving kindness is a form of love that truly is an ability, and, as research scientists have show, it can be learned. It is the ability to take some risks with our awareness-to look at ourselves and others with kindness instead of reflexive criticism; to include in our concern those to whom we normally pay no attention; to care for ourselves unconditionally instead of thinking, "I will love myself as long as I never make a mistake." It is the ability to gather our attention and really listen to others, even those we've written off as not worth our time. It is the ability to see the humanity in people we don't know and the pain in people we find difficult.”
“We long for permanence but everything in the known universe is transient. That’s a fact but one we fight.”
“We use mindfulness to observe the way we cling to pleasant experiences & push away unpleasant ones.”
“Let the breath lead the way.”
