Spiritual traditions all over the world are built from 3 basic blocks:

1. Spiritual Text (Bible, Koran, Torah, Bhagavad Gita, etc)

2. Concentration(Focus, attention, honing in)

3. Equilibrium (Equanimity)

Buddhist traditions in their practice mainly focus on the last two: Concentration and Equanimity. Hence the endless meditative practices that help you improve both. 

-Focus aspect allows you to identify your inner(and outer) experiences better by focusing on them. 

-Equanimity aspect teaches you to endure uncomfortable sensations.

These explanations are basic generalizations and may not be completely described in words. We encourage to start practicing these skills for yourself and experience it personally.
