People associate meditation with calm, peace and tranquillity. What we don't, however, associate it with is
pain. The spiritual wisdom gained through meditation is, nevertheless, all about pain - deep emotional pain. Not removing it but truly feeling it. Sound scary? Well, the truth is that there is no human on Earth who has lived a life free of suffering. This is so universal a fact that the Buddha virtually crafted it into a definition of existence; "life is suffering".
