Meditation is running into reality. It does not insulate you from the pain of life. It allows you to delve so deeply into life and all its aspects that you pierce the pain barrier and go beyond suffering.-Bhante Henepola Gunaratana, "Mindfulness in Plain English"
James's comment: This reminds me of an article that I was refered to by a friend stating that it is easy to use meditation as a crutch or a drug to numb out and avoid pain rather then using it to pierce through that pain barrier to go beyond suffering.
-Peace to all beings-
