Buddhist spirituality—a compassionate perspective on hospice care
Abstract
The practical, everyday metaphysic of Buddhist philosophy, which is based on notions of compassion and wisdom, a willingness to serve, tolerance, a duty to do no harm, and the significance of death, shares a commonality with hospice discourse. This discussion explores the connection between these two compatible discourses by detailing some of the findings of research recently completed on a Brisbane community-based, Buddhist hospice service (the Karuna Hospice Service).

“Although McGrath (1998) has explored the connections between discourses of Buddhist philosophy and its parallels in hospice ideology at a community-based Buddhist hospice organization, in-depth explorations of Buddhist philosophy vis-à-vis hospice care are just beginning.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
