The Meaning of Karuna:
Karuna is a Sanskrit word and is used
in Hinduism and Buddhism. It is translated to mean
any action that is taken to diminish the suffering
of others and could also be translated as
"compassionate action."
When individuals experience
enlightenment, they report that all beings are known
as one. Therefore, it is natural to extend
compassionate action or Karuna to everyone without
distinction because we are all one.
As we help
others and aid them in their healing process, all
beings benefit. Because of the oneness of all
beings, it is understood that Karuna is not only
extended to others out of love, but also because it
is an entirely logical thing to do. In the same way
that you would want to heal your own wounds, you
would also want the wounds of others to heal. It is
also stated in the Buddhist literature that Karuna
must be accompanied by parjna or wisdom in order to
have the right effect.
Karuna is the motivating quality of
all enlightened beings who are working to end
suffering on Earth. They continually send an
unlimited amount of healing energy and guidance to
us, but not all are receptive to it. As you develop
Karuna in yourself, not only are you helping others,
but you also become more receptive to the Karuna
that is being sent by all enlightened beings. Thus
your healing is quickened as well.
Karuna Reiki® opens you to work more closely with
all enlightened beings. This includes those
enlightened ones who are physically present as well
as those in spirit.
