Buddha survived in Tsunami

[senator]

anna arahe nathi miracle mavanna hadanava......mehe buddhistslama ekathuwela miracle ekak thibboth eekath maranna hadanava..... (A clear difference)
dear senator,,,i don't mind whether this is a miracle or not because buddhism is not based upon miracles(even though buddha had done lot of miracles,he told his followers that buddhism is not about miracles) and buddhists don't need miracles to keep his/her "sheelaya" going,,because they are not believers and they are not keeping faith upon anybody but only upon themselves......

BUT,,i have seen a similar incident as which smallvilleclerk50 described above,,,that is in "aarugam bay".....oya LTTE prashna thibba kaaleth mama oya thanata gihilla thiyenava.....there's a navy camp there...othana bridge ekath ekkama budu pilimayak thiyenava veeduru valin issaraha vata karala...navy camp eka kandak uda thiyenne..eeka budu pilimeta vada godak usin thiyenne......sunami aava,,,ara kanda uda thibba navy camp ekatath vathura avilla eekata alaabahaani vuna,,,budu pilimeth ekkama thibunu bridge eka sampuurnayenma venaasa wela giya....................eeth budu pilime,,,,,,,,,,,,budu pilime veeduruwa pitinma ehemmama thibba.......eeke athulata eka vali katayak vath gihilla thibbe naha.......oya paththe muslim minissu innava....meeka dakapu eka muslim minihek ee budu pilimeta gihilla vandala.......

onna ookai aththa kathaawa....mama eeka gana hondata danna nisai mehema kivve.....

mata kiyanna oone naha eeka haaskamakda nadda kiyala......eeth mama ethana situation eka danna kenek hatiyata ehema deyak vuna eka pudumai....
eevunaata mama hithanne kavuruwath oya miracles kiyana deeval valata oonaawata vada passen gihilla eevalata alenna narakai....anith eka,,mama kavadaavath oya miracles kiyana eeva "sarva baladaarii deviyan vahanse" visin karanava kiyala vishwasa karanneth naha....because then he will not send the sunami in the first place....only one thing i believe in,,,that's "dharmayehi hasirennaa dharmaya visinma aarakshaa karai".....eeka kavadath ehemmamai..........

pudumai? That means you think it is a miracle, haskamak? You can have your own opinion as you please.

I don't wish to argue on this matter with anyone.

I was only explaining it to smallville because he asked it from me personally. He mentioned my name and inquired.

Another question, i saw the vedio footages of Tsunami in galle, There the Budhu ge , or even the glass window of da Budhu ge were not damaged. In that vedio i saw a bus hit the budhuge. But no damage 2 it. how can that happen?

My explanation is this. Suraj may disagree.

'even the glass window of da Budhu ge were not damaged' not because it was budhuge. There are so many other places which were not damaged. Those places have nothing to do with buddhist places.

If you think it is a miracle, OK, that is your choice, your opinion.

But I do not wish to compete with any other religion and win somehow or other. I am not concerned about such victory. I am only concerned about truth and true facts.

are they glass windows, of course glasses of furniture and vehicles are less vulnerable since the ජලයේ උඩුකුරු තෙරපුම.

however, the glasses of windows, which are aligned with non-reinforced walls are highly likely to be destroyed.

"pudumai" means something which you can't explain..."miracle" or "haskamak" means something which you are kind of sure which is done by an unseen super power..(in other words,,"God")....if i wanted to tell people that this was done by some super power,i would have clearly used the word "miracle"..but i used "pudumai" instead because i don't want to draw any conclusions or believe in anything....

if you have read my post carefully,i have mentioned there that i don't care whether this is a miracle or not because unlike some other religions,buddhism is not about miracles,and don't even promote them.........

i also don't wish to argue on any topic with anybody,,especially in the internet.....i just give my opinion and things that i see,and leave....so you can have your own opinion as you please too.....

If you think it is a miracle, OK, that is your choice, your opinion.

hey,,who's not concerned about truth and true facts....i'm always very much concerned about truth and true facts....what i meant by saying "a clear difference" in my above post is that "a clear difference between the followers of those two religions" and i like it because it shows how independent the buddhists are....islam vala mokak hari miracle ekak kiyala kavuru hari ekek post ekak dammama okkoma muslim minissu ethanata gihilla eekata "maashallah" gaanava...eka muslim ekek eekata viruddava katha karanne naha..(mama dakka langadi youtube eke kaakkek "Allah" kiyanava).....eeth buddhagame mokak hari vunaama buddhagamema aya eeka gana prashna karanava....i like it alot..because that's the independence given by the religion..so that's what i was talking about there..."islam aagame vahal bhavaya saha bududahame chinthana nidahasa"...i saw a thread like that in this religious section also....

there may be so many other places where the glass window had not damaged...but mind you in my incident,,the bridge which was just next to the statue was completely destroyed...steel walin hadapu bridge eka glass valata vada shakthimath nathi venna bahaneda??? And the sea waves were many meters higher than both the statue and the bridge (kanda uda thibba navy camp ekatath vathura avilla thibba) as these were situated just along the sea shore......
(i just explained the situation here....and don't wish anybody to draw any conclusions)....

[senator]

Ane ane,

1)Can someone confirm with me how many statues survived and how many didn't? I saw a photo of a large statue and several other smaller ones around it completely obliterated

2)How many Hindu statues survived

3)Which part of the Buddhist doctrine allowed for such miracles. I'd love to know what these have to do with core teachings of buddha?

I dont know about 1st and 2nd questions. But about third one, Miracles aint associated with core teachings of buddhism, although Lord buddha and other monks did some miracles. Actually those aint miracles, but some things that can be done by anyone by increasing mental power.
Eg- walking on the water , floating in da air

And there is a good answer given by Lord buddha 2 those who seek miracles and 2 those who do miracles 2 gather followers.
Once Ananda thero and Lord Buddha were at a River, waiting till
a boat 2 come, 2 cross the river, then another clergyman came there and walked on the water and crossed the river. Ananda thero asked why dont you cross the river like that. Lord buddha replyed 2 cross the river by boat, it would cost only 5 kahawanu. Therefore the value of that miracle is only 5 kahawanu.

Follow da Dharma, you will be able 2 do some miracles too.

And do not ignore the buddhist concept about other living beings 2. If they exist, they can do what we cant do
