Wordsmith.org Word of the Day March 21:

karuna (KUH-roo-na) noun

Loving compassion.

[From Sanskrit karuna (compassion).]

"Once we experience and feel this inter-dependence of all living
beings,
we will cease to hurt, humiliate, exploit and kill another. We will
want
to free all sentient beings from suffering. This is karuna,
compassion,
which in turn gives rise to the responsibility to create happiness
and
its causes for all."
