karuna
Karuna describes a specific, active form of compassion rooted in Buddhist philosophy. While the English word "compassion" often implies a shared feeling of sorrow or pity, karuna specifically emphasizes the active desire to alleviate the suffering of others. It is viewed not as a passive emotion, but as a cultivated spiritual practice and a virtue essential for achieving enlightenment.
In a spiritual or academic context, this term is used to distinguish between mere empathy and the disciplined, selfless action intended to liberate others from pain. It is typically treated as an abstract concept or a state of being rather than a countable object.
