So I was looking up the definition of 'Existential Crisis' on Wikipedia,
and to my surprise I stumbled upon this paragraph:
I thought thats pretty cool, and then I noticed that the information is attributed to no other than Daniel's book ("Daniel Ingram (April, 2007). "Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha". Retrieved November 17, 2009.").
Nice!
and to my surprise I stumbled upon this paragraph:
Wikipedia:
Intense vipassana meditation will usually bring about a set of experiences, referred to as the dark night of the soul by Western spiritual traditions, that resemble the typical symptoms of an existential crisis.During the "dark night", meditators become severely discouraged in regard to practice and life in general, although continuing meditation is the only known form of overcoming this difficult stage.
