A Giant Face Emerges from China Earthquake

5 July 2008

It seems when the powerful earthquake in Sichuan on 12th May destroyed existing natrual and man-made formations, it also created new landscape on earth.

About a week ago, a group of Chinese scientists and volunteers voyaged into the quake-hit area to investigate the living conditions of pendas after the disaster. In the morning of 28th June, they descended to the bottom of a canyon and hiked along below the cliffs standing over 200m tall. In the group there was a high school teacher named Shen Ruofei (沈若飞), and when Mr Shen casually looked up at the towering rocky presence, he was at once spellbounded by what his mortal eye perceived: on the cliff face about 10m above the ground there was a giant human face, looked very much like that of celebrity giants on the Easter Island.

Although being stunned speechless, Mr Shen was not rendered immobile, so prized photo evidence was taken.

It is confirmed later on that the giant face was not there before the earthquake.

Gee ...

Ghosts & Spirits Everywhere?

The Buddha told bhiksu: There are ghosts and spirits at every cemetery, on every street, within every house and filled everywhere in the atmosphere.

When ghosts and spirits manifest themselves in this yang world, they have to attach to solid forms to sustain their flimsy existence, which could be a human, an aminal, a village, a town, a nation, a land, a mountain or a river.

The Buddha told bhiksu: Every plantation, from as tiny as a grass, has been crowded with ghosts and spirits. Every human being has a band of ghosts and spirits following him around ever since he was born. When he is dying, the ghosts and spirits would draw his yang qi - the essense of life. After he has lost all his yang essense, he will no longer be able to maintain his presence in this solid yang world. He dies.

佛告比丘: 一切人民所居舍宅, 皆有鬼神无有空者。一切街巷四衢道中, 屠儿市肆及丘冢间, 皆有鬼神无有空者。凡诸鬼神皆随所依即以为名。依人名人; 依村名村; 依城名城; 依国名国; 依土名土; 依山名山; 依河名河。

佛告比丘: 一切树木, 极小如车轴者, 皆有鬼神依止无有空者。一切男子女人初始生时, 皆有鬼神随逐拥护。若其死时, 彼守护鬼摄其精气, 其人则死。

- by Dirghagama Sutra
