Embracing Kindness

Kindness was the theme for His Holiness’ visit and Karuna created Kindness Week to give as many people as possible throughout Queensland an opportunity to participate in the visit.

Over 10,000 students from 13 schools participated in Kindness Week. 500 students from these schools attended the public talk at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre and 50 student representatives were given the opportunity to meet His Holiness prior to the talk.

Another major activity during Kindness Week was the sale of Prayer Flags through all Loot Homewares stores throughout Australia. This campaign raised in excess of $10,000 for Karuna Hospice Services and we are very grateful to Loot Homewares for this wonderful support.

We would like to extend our most sincere thanks to everyone who was involved in Kindness Week and everyone who helped us host His Holiness while he was in Brisbane.

Tibetan Prayer Flags for Sale

Specially commissioned Tibetan Prayer Flags will be the symbol of Karuna’s inaugural Kindness Week which will be launched during the Dalai Lama’s visit to Brisbane. The flags carry the blessings of the prayers and sacred symbols printed on them across the world. Seeing the flags (they come in sets of five, one in each of the five primary colours) rekindles our intention to be of service to others.

The flags will be available from participating LOOT stores or Mandala Books in April.
