[Buddha-l] Earthquake

[Ngawang Dorje]

Hi
   
  The Buddha said:
   
   “This great earth is supported by water which is supported by air which is in turn supported by space. When a great wind blows, this stirs up the water and because of the stirring-up of the water the earth quakes” (D.II,107)
   
  Wasn't the Buddha mistaken?

  Rahula
