Today the ladies talk about meta meditation, cultivating compassion and Kim introduces Kwan Yin. 

Meta is a Buddhist concept that stands for loving kindness and goes along with the yoga word samsara which is the cycle of ignorance and suffering.

Kwan Yin is probably 2500 years ago and originated before Buddhism but is known as a goddess in China. She is a metaphorical figure that is about mercy and solace, charity and friendship, compassion and empathy these are all characteristics used to describe her and a meta meditation.

Samsara is a thinking error it is informative and forever going around in circles. Have you ever pined for one thing and resented another. Reality collides with our desires and expectations and we run into the same walls time and again. This is where the meta or compassion is found where the flowers of mercy, solace, charity, friendship, compassion and empathy can bloom in our souls. Compassion is like a muscle you train it needs training in order to grow strong.
