Buddha statues spared by Tsunami
"It's a miracle" ? residents
(The Island) The Ministry of Buddha Sasana said that 39 Buddhist
temples were destroyed by last Sunday's Tsunami tidal waves in Galle,
Matara and Hambantota districts, but miraculously none of the statues
of Lord Buddha had been damaged or swept into the ocean.
The ministry said there were no reports of any Buddhist monks in
these temples being killed or injured by the monstrous waves.

it's like putting the statue in the middle of a thunderstorm and coming out dry. -
This proves that whatever disasters happens, Dharma and Buddhism will continue to flourish, there will always be dharma protectors protecting Buddhism, the Dharma, and Buddha's relics.

Originally posted by sinweiy:scientific. very good. though how can so many, almost all not get destroy.
we have a theory that it's protected by Dharma Protectors.
/\Originally posted by An Eternal Now:Ya, dharma protectors truely exist, there is a real photograph of a dharma protector at Jen Chen Vihara (not my dharma centre, but it is another Jen Chen centre in Singapore). Other than that, there were stories of people who have yuan with Buddhism, and keep dreaming of dharma protector over and over again telling him that he has affinity with dharma and my master. When met my master, the person described how the dharma protector looked like, and my master knew at once it was the dharma protector. -

hmmm.. all religious artifacts were spared. i tot they were more or less conflicting? so which one is the true religion?
-
that mean all is true, like all fingers go back to the palm and all leaves go back to the root. Chinese saying: Ban Shi Tong Gen Sheng (We all come from the same root). The Only discrimination is us who see it differently.Originally posted by Ito_^:hmmm.. all religious artifacts were spared. i tot they were more or less conflicting? so which one is the true religion?
at the root of all religion, it's teaching people to do good. and it's about compassion and uncondition love. Then how can devas and Dharma protector not protect? Mind that Dharma = All Truth. And Dharma is not selfish, or that only Buddhism is right, all is wrong. Or My Sect is right and other sects are wrong. Dharma is all encompassion.
