Sharon Salzberg started her practice in 1971 and her teaching in 1974. “I knew from the first moment that meditation was important, and have never stopped. It forms the basis of integrity, connection and compassion in my life.”

“The essence of the Buddha’s teaching is that we all have the same capacity for compassion and peace. A life of connection and authenticity can come completely alive for us now. Discovering that our hearts are indeed wide enough to embrace the whole world of experience—both pleasurable and painful—is the basis of extraordinary freedom and happiness.”
