Karuna Hospice is a non-profit community organisation based in Brisbane, Australia. It aims to provide home-based palliative care and life education courses for Brisbane families who are facing death and dying. The service opened in 1992 with a small team of health care practitioners. Karuna is a Sanskrit word which means "compassion", and Buddhist principles underpin the holistic approach used. The organisation is a member of the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition, and the Dalai Lama is Karuna's spiritual patron.[1][2][3]
For the past 15 years, Ven. Yeshe Khadro, a trained nurse and ordained nun, has been the director of Karuna Hospice. She has overseen Karuna's expansion into a vibrant organization with a staff of 32 and more than 170 volunteers, serving over 2000 clients annually. Yeshe Khadro has worked in management and teaching roles for many centres on the world. In 2012, Yeshe Khadro was named a Paul Harris Fellow by Rotary International "in appreciation of tangible and significant assistance given for the furtherance of better understanding and friendly relations among peoples of the world".[1]
