Why do innocent people die in earthquakes and tsunamis? 【True Stories from the Spiritual World】

Q. Why do innocent people die in earthquakes and tsunamis?

A. Natural disasters occur due to the "accumulation of collective thoughts."

When the overall mindset is wrong, natural disasters occur.

There are things that cannot be changed by individual efforts, such as major earthquakes. In disasters, thousands or tens of thousands of people may lose their lives. At that time, earthquakes cannot skillfully say, "This person is good, so let's avoid this place and strike over there." Unfortunately, when such major disasters occur, both good and bad people, to varying degrees, cannot avoid misfortune with a certain probability.
The truth is that such natural disasters also occur due to the "accumulation of common thoughts of humanity." In Buddhism, this is called "shared karma" (gugou). Shared karma essentially refers to collective responsibility. For example, it is the responsibility of the entire group of Japanese people. In other words, "You may have been a good person, but the vast majority of Japanese people have been engaging in such wrong thoughts and actions. As a nation, this kind of backlash will come. As long as you are Japanese, you cannot escape this fate."

The message from the gods and Buddhas is to "change your thinking."

In Happy Science, we investigate the spiritual background of earthquakes and disasters and publish those facts in videos and printed materials. The messages from the spirits that exist in the invisible world and protect and guide Japan and the world are common. They clearly indicate "NO" to the trend of forgetting that the essence of humanity is spiritual, not believing in gods and Buddhas, and to the politics that repeat falsehoods and deceptions leading to incorrect judgments. It is truly sad that there are people who suffer from disasters, and while practical relief is needed, it is also a fact that earthquakes and natural disasters serve as warnings from the gods and Buddhas. We can accept this fact and each individual can correct their own heart. When that flow spreads to the whole, it can change the fate of the entire group.
