About This Book
Bestselling author Sharon Salzberg explores the meaning of faith through
her personal story about a harrowing childhood of isolation and loss (a
father's abandonment, a mother's early death) and her eventual journey
into the Buddhist tradition. The overriding message, explains Salzberg,
is that faith is "not superficial or sentimental: it does not say
everything will turn out all right." So what is faith, if not trust in a
happy ending? Salzburg, the cofounder of the Insight Meditation Society,
explains that faith resides not in the outcome, but in the willingness
to see the possibility for change.
"The first step on the journey of faith is to recognize that everything
is moving onward to something else, inside us and outside.... We see
that a self-image we've been holding doesn't need to define us forever,
the next step is not the last step, what life was is not what it is now,
and certainly not what it might yet be."
Like the great teachers of Buddhism, Salzberg relies on her stories to
make the teachings relevant. She shifts effortlessly from the voice of a
memoirist to the voice of a master teacher. Through her insights, we
come to understand faith as a verb. Faith means never giving up on the
possibilities of each moment, always seeing "our own potential for
happiness, for vibrant wisdom and sustained compassion--a potential that
all beings share." --Gail Hudson
