The One You Feed: A Conversation with Sharon Salzberg

In this episode, Eric Zimmer and Sharon Salzberg discuss her view on Lovingkindness after teaching about it for 20 years, understanding the ways that we are all connected to each other and the difference between lovingkindness and compassion. They also discuss how lovingkindness and compassion don’t equate to weakness, life lessons manifesting during meditation, the essential question to ask ourselves, the Four Noble Truths, watching our thoughts like an elderly person watches children in a park and how the difference between happiness and misery depends on where we place our attention.

Thank you both!
🙏🏼💕💫🙏🏼

Thank you so much, Sharon. I loved his interview! I’m going to listen to it again, but fast forward by the advertising for the magazine, even though I love that magazine also! 😂😍 And maybe I’ll get the free trial and subscription deal! 😍I’ve heard many of your interviews, but this was one of my favorites, cause it covered so much so thank you again🙏🙏🙏

They are visitors. Love this perspective. Thanks 🙏

Great conversation to review concepts that you already know. Loved it.

Love Sharons teachings .. thank you🙏🏽❤️

Very helpful, I appreciate her down to earth and compassionate guidance. Worth listening again and again. A little too much advertising but I realize it’s a radio station.

She’s brilliant

Two favorite take aways: #1 A shift in perspective doesn't depend on how long you've held that view...#2 The difference between misery & happiness depends on what we do with our attention.
I Really value this episode!💝

Sharon is such a down to earth teacher and she inspires me always

Thank you for sharing your wisdom and kindness.

Loved it. Sharon is always a clear and warm speaker, and I need constant reminders to be here, now. I often find myself saying, to myself, this is here, this is now; it is not there, it is not then.

This podcast touches on so many subjects: lovingkindness, compassion, meditation, Buddhism, mindfulness, etc. It was really great to hear Sharon talk.
"You can always begin again." -What a true lovingkindness statement!
Namaste and Om Shanti 🙇❤☮

I love Sharing and Sharron S. Love you guys too🙏🏻❤️👍🏻💫⭐️

I will return to this. Thank you,

I love Sharon Salzberg and enjoyed this talk very much.

A very timely topic of craving and greed was presented within this little nugget. Which one will I feed is brought to my consciousness. Good talk for today's compulsions and consumerism.
