"With the symbol of the lotus flower, we can take this moment to cultivate our inner compassion. When we think about Avalokiteshvara, we think of all the images that exist. Still, it comes back to our inner heart, because we do have this heart to hear and to care and to love all other people out there, including ourselves."- Mindfulness Meditation instructor Reverend Doyeon Park.
