The Eight Causes of Earthquakes

The Buddha says there are because he was a list maker, there are eight causes for earthquakes. Each of these events, the enlightenment, the earthquake on the first teaching that came after the death of the Buddha are all earthshaking events. When you think about one or two billion people on the earth who've been affected by this one human being as a teacher over these 2,600 years,. You have a little earthquake happening there in the cosmos in some symbolic way that there's something profound that happens and this is the symbolic way to understanding it.
