Same translation as before.
*Work without Buddha is work without Krypa.*
I can't find the word *Krypa* in any connection with Buddhism or meditation. Does anyone know this word or could it be a spelling mistake?
Most of the foreign words are kept in English and in German. But at least, I would like to know what it stands for.
Thanks again

krpa
I think the word you're looking for is
krpa
- the author might have used an unorthodox transliteration.
In English the translations offered are something like:
kindness, grace, compassion
which seems to make sense - work without compassion is work without Buddha.

The word krpa, according to the lexicons has the same meaning as karuna (compassion) or anu-kampa (empathy, sympathy, lit. to tremble with someone). The encyclopedic lexicon, Vachaspatya defines it as
Anu-graha-icchayam praty-upa-karanapekshaya
Para-duhkha-harana-icchayam,
With a desire to do a favor (anu-graha), without expectation of a benevolence in return, the wish to remove the pain or discomfort of the other.
Karuna is shown as a synonym of krpa. But in Sanskrit usage, krpa is an act of grace, karuna is compassion.

Comment: "Craig, I hope you are right. I found all the other things mentioned above by different colleagues. I really can't think of any Swedish connection and the person that was mentioned has IMO nothing to do with this. I wrote a little note to the client. Thanks again to everybody for spending the Sunday on these tricky questions. I will not enter this into the glossary as I am not sure about it."

Tat oder Form
Krypa kommt oftmals auch in Hinduismus als Vorgängerreligion von Buddhismus vor. Es könnte entweder "die Tat" oder "die Form" bedeuten, eine weitere Variante wäre auch "die Bitte". Ich habe leider keine Referenzen.
Discussion
I'm fairly sure of my answer, and I'm definitely sure that none of the other answers are relevant here. Many texts about Buddhism leave in some Sanskrit or Tibetan terms, since there is often no easy Western term to translate them with.
