Master Chin Kung - Anger and hatred induce fires, drought, and volcanoes eruption
(English subtitles) Buddhist Master Chin-Kung (淨空法師), 1927-2022, talks dharma. 貪瞋痴慢疑引發的種種災變
Subtitles:
Karma is true. The Buddha told us that in the Shurangama Sutra, floods come from greed. Greedy people induce floods. Seas level rise, glaciers melt. Greed causes floods. Anger and hatred induce fires, volcanoes erupt, and drought weather. Lose temper too much, anger causes fires. Ignorance and obsession induce strong wind. There are hundreds of tornadoes in a month, which has never happened before in history, causing serious disasters. Arrogance induces earthquakes. There's doubt. Greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance, doubt.
The ancient great virtues and patriarchs have spoken greed, anger, ignorance and arrogance a lot and less about doubt. I have now discovered that the disaster led by doubt is even more serious than the previous four.
What's a doubt? Not believe. Doubt is terrific nowadays. Why? It's too common. This is a serious problem.
Not believe self, not believe parents, not believe teachers. Not believe in ethics, not believe in karma. Not believe in buddhas, not believe in gods.

They do not believe anything. What is this disaster of doubt? It is the loosening of the earth. In the "Ksitigarbha Sutra", the God of the Firm Earth. The earth was originally solid and firm, but now the earth is loose and slack, The mountains are prone to collapse, and the earth are prone to sink. What is the cause? It's induced by doubt.
For our body, our body is a microcosm, and the external environment is a macrocosm, and the macrocosm is no different from the microcosm. Treating things with doubt will destroy the human immune system and make you vulnerable to infection from the outside.
So, a person with strong faith will have a strong immune system, the germs cannot harm him. We understand this truth, and truly establish a good attitude in our hearts. If we are not greedy, not angry, not ignorant, not arrogant, and not doubtful, all disasters will naturally be resolved.
