"Karuna" means compassion in sanskrit, the intention and capacity to relieve and transform suffering. One compassionate word, action, or thought can reduce another being’s sorrow and bring comfort, even open the door to liberation or save a life. With compassion in our heart, every thought, word, and deed can bring about a miracle. Karuna is one of the four qualities of love, the very nature of an enlightened person.
