God and Heaven
The most fundamental difference of the western God and the eastern Heaven is, the one imagined in a brain (modeled from such as the Gilgamesh Myth) or the one observed as the natural phenomenon. So that there could be a complaint to someone who created the idea of western God, why the Evil was also created ? And there, the matter is whether you believe its story or not. Unless you believe it, it doesn’t exists.
In contrast, as everybody in the east can see, the Heaven or the Nature is existing even before the human being or the universe was created. Whether it was believed or not, it is a real existance to anybody. Therefore, they knew the utterly evil earthquake, tsunami, volcano etc are a part of the nature. (If the people has ever encountered those utmost power of the nature, they become aware, they have to live with this without making useless complaint. ) So, that is how those evil were accepted as their part of the destiny. The system or the existence of those phenomena all together IS the existence of which the Buddhists calles the Dharma, or the Taoist calles Heaven. The strange phenomenon is, some profound Zennists are able to communicate with this Heaven or Dharma. (save, other than a nuts) 😀
