A student went to his meditation teacher and said,  "My meditation is horrible! I feel so distracted, or my legs ache, or I'm constantly falling asleep. It's just horrible!"

"It will pass," the teacher said matter-of-factly.

"It will pass," the teacher replied matter-of-factly.


Moral of the Story: All bad things pass, but then again, so do all good things.
