About this listen

Teachings to Cultivate the Practice of Faith

We tend to think of faith as a commodity you either have or you don't. But in many of the world's wisdom traditions, faith isn't something you possess; it's something you do. "Faith is a willingness to take the next step, to see the unknown as an adventure, to launch a journey," teaches Sharon Salzberg. Now this beloved meditation teacher and author shares her unique understanding of faith, distinguishing it from belief and dogma, to help you cultivate this profound force in your life.

In this four-hour program, Salzberg dispels the negative concepts that label faith as either "blind" or "ignorant" and reveals something much deeper: an intelligence and common sense rooted in your deepest experience. With discerning wisdom, she invites you to explore:

  • The crucial first step in the faith journey: embracing impermanence - the ever-changing nature of the world
  • The surprising relationship between doubt and faith
  • How to move forward when you feel lost in the mire of resignation and despair
  • Faith as a refuge for even our hardest times
  • The ingredients of true faith: love and respect for ourselves and others

Faith is the ability to offer your heart to the truth of what is happening, the present expression of possibility, and the conduit connecting you to a bigger reality. With Faith, you gain a powerful tool for cultivating the peace of mind and ease to carry you through any situation.

I loved this book, and in ways beyond anything Sharon’s ever written. There were times I paused in awe of the depth of emotion and effort she took to tell her personal stories in ways I, we her readers, could benefit. I also paused a few times from listening to her voice, and noticing how much she embodies the loving kindness she practices and teaches. I highly recommend “Faith,” and for anyone, from any faith-tradition. Yes, Sharon references Buddhism, but in her ever-best-signature inclusive and considerate way.

When we accomplish faith in our loving nature, we won't need of vanishing words of approval from others to be complete.

Reassuring

Sharon Salzberg speaks in a very monotone voice -- which works very well for her guided meditations but made listening to this book very tedious and, ultimately, made it UNlistenable for me. The content of the book is wonderful, inspiring, and thought-provoking, but I would definitely recommend reading the actual book over listening to the audio book.

Great content; Difficult to listen to narration

Short reflections on faith from a non-sectarian perspective, emphasizing Buddhist principles. Sharon Salzberg effectively shares her own life experiences as examples of how we can have faith in ourselves and our fellow humans despite profoundly hurtful events.

[I listened to this as an audio book read by the author. While I love listening to Ms. Salzberg being interviewed, I felt like her narration of this book was strangely flat.]

Beautifully written and read by its author, this book takes us beyond the extremes of unexamined belief and doubt to look at something deeply human: our ability to use our own agency to connect to the beauty, pain, and mystery of life. I recommend this for all humans!
