Pain can be vitalising; it gives intensity in the place of vagueness and emptiness. If we don't suffer, how do we know that we live?

The mind is more powerful than anything. So, during the birth I wasn't thinking about the pain. I was in a meditation state. I was concentrating the whole time, thinking, 'Oh my God, it's time. I am going to meet my baby. What is he going to look like?'

I've certainly experienced physical pain in my life.

Pain is an event. It happens to you, and you deal with it in whatever way you can.

For we are born in other's pain, and perish in our own.

I don't feel there's any kind of pain in my life.

There are unwanted emotions and pain that goes along with any birth.

Pain is a beautiful thing. When you feel pain, you know you're alive.

There is a great deal of pain in life and perhaps the only pain that can be avoided is the pain that comes from trying to avoid pain.

There is no birth of consciousness without pain.
