Sharon Salzberg, co-founder of the Insight Meditation Society and one of the teachers most responsible for bringing mettā into Western Buddhism, talks with Krista Tippett about the discipline of returning — to attention, to kindness toward oneself and others — when distraction and grief make those returns hard. The conversation draws on her then-recent book Real Change.
