Sharon Salzberg Quotes About Concentration

• The art of concentration is a continual letting go. We let go of what is inessential or distracting. We let go of a thought or a feeling, not because we are afraid of it or because we can’t bear to acknowledge it as a part of our experience; but, because it is UNNECESSARY.

• Algunas personas tienen la idea equivocada de que con la meditación desaparecen todos los pensamientos y entramos en un estado de embotamiento. Ciertamente, hay momentos de gran tranquilidad en los que la concentración es fuerte y tenemos pocos pensamientos, si es que tenemos alguno. Pero otras veces, podemos vernos inundados de recuerdos, planes o pensamientos aleatorios. Es importante no culparse.

• We apply our effort to be mindful, to be aware in this very moment, right here and now, and we bring a very wholehearted effort to it. This brings concentration. It is this power of concentration that we use to cut through the world of surface appearances to get to a much deeper reality.
