It would be more accurate to say that prejudice and discrimination are forms of intolerance. The cause is generally xenophobia (which is to say, the fear of people who are different than yourself).

What does encountering prejudice and discrimination mean?

Out of the many definitions of discrimination, the one you are probably thinking of is the treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against, a person or thing based on the group, class, or category to which that person or thing belongs rather than on individual merit: racial and religious intolerance and discrimination. The kind of prejudice you are thinking about is the kind where people make assumptions about other people based on superficial characteristics and then proceed on the basis of those assumptions without ever reconsidering them. Encountering prejudice or discrimination is running into people who think in this way.
