________________ SRI THANANGA SUTRA It teaches us the three ways on how to protect the soul. It explains that if we end up in controversy with someone, first we should try and explain, then if the controversy is still on, it is better to keep quiet and finally if that does not help, we should leave that place. The scientific principle behind this is that the heat generated by the friction reduces with distance; therefore, the intensity of the storm will reduce. This is proven by the scientists. Some of the reasons for earthquakes are explained as follows: 1. When the tectonic plates under the earth shift, they create pressure that causes earthquakes. 2. The movement caused by very long reptiles like pythons causes earthquakes. This is an interesting subject for geologists to research. 16
