Q : The Buddhist scriptures often talk about the shakings of the great earth. Why do earthquakes happen?
A : Earthquakes can also be called people-quakes because people are connected to earthquakes. When people quake, the earth also quakes. If people were not to quake, then the earth would not quake either. Why did the earth quake in six ways when the Buddha entered Nirvana? It is because people panicked and were awfully scared, so their seven emotions and six desires seeped out, causing the earth to quake. ~ Tripitaka Master Hsuan Hua
