Mahakaruna, Fundación Canaria was founded by Brigitte and Werner Brock and the company Eco Casa La Palma, S.L. with equal shares in 2010, then named "Drukpa, Fundación Canaria". In 2016 the name was changed to "Mahakaruna, Fundación Canaria" as suggested by H.H., the 41st Sakya Trizin.
As our secretary and ex-wife Brigitte Werner Brock died in February 2020, I (Werner Brock) had a hard time taking care of all the rescued animals, household etc. I really appreciate the help received by good friends, but in the end it became obvious that we need someone constantly present at the finca to look after the rescued and adopted dogs and donkeys.
In June 2020 via internet I finally succeeded in finding a qualified woman from Thailand, sharing my philosophy of life as well as the love and dedication for animals. With a session of the foundation's board on June 30th, 2020 Nongluck Kadkasame was nominated and approved as secretary of Mahakaruna, Fundación Canaria. She is doing a great job for the foundation, the animals, the finca and the household ever since.
Mahakaruna is Sanscrit language and means "Great Compassion" which describes very well our motivation, work and philosophy:
Reducing suffering of all beings, working for happiness and well being of all, respecting and helping the environment, nature and a peaceful life among all habitants of our planet.
Buddhist philosophy is reflecting our values, aspirations and activities. Its teachings and practice can help to change our personal values and conduct towards less egoism, more social, compassionate, ecological and peaceful behavior, as well as towards a great respect for all life, nature and environment.
