[edit] Karuna . . . Suicide?

There is a Suicide Girl named Dusti who has "karuna" tattooed across her chest. In fact, that's why I searched Wikipedia for the definition. 24.173.57.56 05:05, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

That's...fascinating. The talk page is generally for discussion about the article. --Qmwne235 22:11, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

In the novel Island (novel), by Aldous Huxley, mynah birds are used to bring attention to the present moment: the here and now. Throughout the novel, these mynah birds cry out, "Attention" and "Karuna, Karuna." In reference to the meaning of Karuna in Buddhist context, Huxley uses the mynah birds as a symbolic vehicle for compassionate action and heightened awareness. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.192.22.137 (talk) 16:36, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
