Meditating on subject or object, is that not thinking? How does one go about meditating on a subject say compassion for instance or visualizing an object?

Sitting meditation or za-zen do not use any kind of object or subject. We do not consider this as meditation because is a way of absorption which drives away form the observation of thoughts which is a way to recognize their impermanent nature which is fundamental to see it in daily life so not to be attached to them.
