Japan Chapter Monthly Letter No. 40 (July 2024)

Description

The July 2024 issue (No. 40) of the IARF Japan Chapter Monthly Letter. This issue reflects on how ancient Japanese people viewed natural disasters as the work of deities (such as the thunder and wind gods) and kept them in awe. It contrasts this with modern scientific capability, noting that even with advanced technology, humanity cannot prevent such disasters, and suggests viewing them as opportunities for individual spiritual growth.
