Sharon Salzberg Quotes

Once, A Woman Attending A Nonresidential Metta Weekend In New York City Was On Her Way Back To The Retreat Site On Saturday Morning When A Man Approached Her On The Railway Platform And Asked A Question About The Train Schedule. Even Though She Was Holding A Schedule In Her Hand, Her Thought Was, "He Looks Really Weird! I'd Better Get Rid Of Him." Her Initial Claim To Have No Knowledge Of The Trains Was Belied By Her Clearly Visible Schedule. She Tried A Few Ploys To Have Him Go Away, To No Avail. Finally, She Randomly Pointed To Someone Else On The Platform And Said, "You Should Go Ask Him." The Stranger Looked At Her Uneasily And Said, "Oh No! I Couldn't Ask Him - He Looks Really Weird!
