Prayers at Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai (meditation)

Prayers by the kever (burial site) of the Tanna Shimon Bar Yochai author of Zohar, the seminal book on Kabbala (Cabbalah). Rashbie (as he is known) spent many years in a cave with his son hiding from Roman persecution after the destruction of the Second Temple. That's where he wrote the Zohar. After he was able to get out he had the ability to listen to the birds. He had to scale down his high expectations of the World in order to be at peace with everyone.
