First, it is a tragic and sad day for many, many, many Chinese folks and their loved one on May 12th 2008. The day earthquake arrived onto the people in Sichuan, China.
I'm very curious to know about the Number 8 Theory in connections to this event. And this time, the Number is not that Lucky.
a) May 12th = 5 +1+2 = 8 in the Year 2008 at 2.28pm
b) The Chinese lunar date of May 12th is = 4月初8日 , also the Tibetan Lunar Calendar is the Month of 3b, in the Day of 8
(Medicine Buddha Day)
c) Quake happened with just 88 days away from the Beijing Olympics
d) Beijing Olympic officially opens on 8/8/08 at 8.08pm
e) The date of the deadly Tibetan protests 3(March)/23 = 3+2+3 = 8 (Also Medicine Buddha Day)
f) It had been 8 weeks passed since the Tibetan protest
g) Devastating Snow Storm this year 1(Jan)/25/08 (1+2+5 = 8)
