1. It should be to help you focus on the teachings of the Dharma, wherin you can concentrate on what you need to do to better your chances of enlightenment in the future. in a way, i guess it could be personal, but on the other hand, one is striving to help others to salvation, so it could be seen as a personal act for the benefit of others.
2. Trance-like state, praying to other gods, cult-like mystcism, rejection of the Christian way of life. Westerners may see meditation as a threat to their known religion, and may even feel that a meditator is part of a terrorist or other cult. it is all in the fear of the unknown and ignorance. Buddha has taught followers to rise above ignorance.
