All those supernatural manifestations that escape scientific understanding are called miracles. Also, it can be an extraordinary event, of strange qualities. The word comes from the Latin “miraculum”, a derivation of “mirai”, which translates as “to contemplate or observe something with amazement”; the ancients used this word to describe everything they could not understand, such as eclipses, storms, and seasonal changes during the year. In religions, manifestations are considered miracles, by a deity, with respect to human beings, benefiting them in some way.
In Buddhism, there are several accounts of miracles. Among them is the one about Beopheung de Silla, a king, whose will was to make Buddhism the predominant religion of his nation. One of his secretaries, named Ichadon, conceived an elaborate plan, which consisted of sending a series of letters to the men who opposed such a decision, in which it would be explained that the doctrine would now be mandatory. When they found out this was false, Ichadon would take the blame and be sentenced to death; this, before his execution, told the king that a miracle would occur. By cutting off the man's head, it was thrown towards the mountains, propelled by a milk that replaced the expulsion of blood. With this, Buddhism was finally accepted.
In Islam there are also a series of miracles performed by Muhammad. One of these was the multiplication of food, which occurs in various sections of the story told in the Qur'an. In Christianity, the Old Testament describes various situations in which God helps human beings, giving them some kind of benefit; In the New Testament, for its part, you can find all the miracles carried out by Jesus, which are similar to those of Muhammad.
