The title of the first chapter of the Journey to the West is the outflow of spiritual roots and conception, and the birth of the spiritual cultivation path. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info read the introduction of the last time, this sentence is easier to understand now, but pay attention, this spiritual root, refers to the spiritual root of heaven and earth that Taoists think, or several spiritual fruits produced by heaven and earth, such as peach ginseng fruit tree or something, which can be seen and even eaten in kind. And the spiritual root in Buddhist language is actually the wisdom root, which is virtual and invisible, and if you want to become holy or something, you have to have the wisdom root, that is, the understanding. Taoism does not agree with this, it doesn't matter if you have understanding or not, just eat a ginseng fruit and peach, and you will be immortal at once, not to mention people, as long as there are nine orifices and eight holes, you can practice first, and you can turn into a human form after a long time, and then you can become an immortal after continuing to practice (look at the old turtle in the book Tongtianhe, let Tang Seng see the Buddha, help to inquire, when he can cultivate into a human form, and it will be understood).

The Buddhists do not agree with Taoism, and it is also said in the last book that in the earliest days of Shamen, Siddhartha Gautama did not recognize reincarnation. Obviously, isn't this nonsense? He advocates that you practice in order to be liberated and no longer trapped and suffering. Reincarnation was originally a Brahmanical saying, but the temptation of this is too great, who doesn't want to live forever, and have a good life in the next life, so Siddhartha Gautama had to compromise and accept this view to enrich Buddhism.

Siddhartha Gautama started out according to the Brahmanical point of view - asceticism, and it turned out not to be like that. Why, first of all, Siddhartha Gautama also practiced penance, but he was so self-defeating that he was malnourished, and he almost died, but he still wanted to live and didn't plan to reincarnate, so he ate the goat's milk rice porridge given by a local sheep herding girl, which is the fate of our Laba porridge now, and took a bath, this Brahmanism has very strict requirements for bathing, and general bathing is not approved.

Then later, Siddhartha Gautama raised it like this for a month, recovered mentally and physically, and figured it out for seven days under the Bodhi tree, and founded his own doctrine, in which the theory was first that asceticism was not recommended and did not believe in reincarnation, and then he had no choice but to accept the idea of reincarnation.

Devadatta was the cousin of Siddhartha Gautama, and his influence was not small, but he believed in asceticism but opposed the theory of reincarnation, so he took more than a thousand disciples and ran away to set up another door, of course, he was persuaded by Ananda-Buddha's most faithful disciple and cousin who was also Devadatta's own brother to come back five or six hundred.

At first, Taoism did not recognize reincarnation, it was mainly divided into two schools, advocating that you either practice or take medicine to achieve immortality, why should you still be reincarnated if you can't die? But later, some Taoist sects could not also accept the improved Buddhist idea of reincarnation, and those who were reincarnated because it was basically impossible to practice and take medicine, at least it was too difficult, so where to find the ginseng fruit or something? The Qin Emperor sent Xu Fu overseas to seek a prescription or something, just to find the medicine of immortality, did you find it? No? You see, the later emperors also had many believers, but when they patronized national affairs, they lived and died in the harem and indulged in desires, so they didn't have time to cultivate, so they ate mercury sulfide refined by the Taoist Waidan sect or something, and wanted to live for a while. Some Taoist believers know that it is also nonsense, and it is a great fortune to not die after eating mercury sulfide, so how to live forever, so they advocate the cultivation of yin and yang in the body.

This old man Wu, let's analyze it carefully, he is very unaccustomed to Taoist Buddhism about longevity, the first title adopts the comprehensive statement of Taoism and Buddhism, Linggen is Taoist, and the latter is Buddhist, but Lao Wu actually doesn't believe it, just learn to use it to serve the book Journey to the West. According to Taoism, the dual cultivation of life can be done, and the old man Wu hates and hates the emperor the most, believing that this life must be immortal, so he only mentions the cultivation of the heart and the great way of life. So what is the source, in fact, it refers to the mind, the simple mind, the most simple and natural mind, that is, the original mind of life. Only then can you practice the nature of the mind, and if you practice it well, you will get the Great Dao. This life is life, and it is definitely not the life of immortality that Taoism says.

But the problem comes out, Confucianism believes that human nature is inherently good, and Lao Wu also recognizes it, but the vast majority of the world, especially the emperor, so as they grow older, how many of them have the spiritual cultivation avenue? Otherwise, if you write it truthfully, then this monkey is just an ordinary monkey, troublesome, isn't it bad if you are born and starve? Even if you don't starve to death and grow up slowly, when will you be able to show the spirit of a king? The old man doesn't write a record, nor does he write about the growth process of a person, and one of the focuses is on the cultivation of the mind. Journey to the West This is a long novel, not a super long soapy water drama. Take a closer look, this Journey to the West meets the requirements of the novella, the beginning is eye-catching, and the description in the middle is very good but a bit complicated, but it seems to be unfinished in the end. Hehe, but Mr. Wu's true thoughts are probably obscure in order to express his central idea, and there are layers of illusions wrapped outside, which need us to uncover in depth.

At the end of the first episode, Hongmeng opened up the original surname and broke the stubborn void Wukong. Strictly speaking, this is the central idea of the whole text, when this person is just born, there is nothing outside the body, there is only instinct, so if you want to change the stubborn emptiness in the world, you need to understand what emptiness is. Stubborn emptiness, the mystery is very deep, including the complexity of life in Vientiane society, it is difficult to express in words, Mr. Wu reluctantly used the word stubborn emptiness. Just like the Tao that Lao Dan said, he reluctantly replaced it with the word Tao, and Siddhartha Gautama said about emptiness, all three of which are the same truth to some extent, but Tao and emptiness both refer to the pure natural way, which is the ideal of simple dialectical materialism, passive objectivity, maintenance of everything, and excessive idealism, which emphasizes subjectivity to change everything. Stubborn emptiness, on the other hand, is left to its own devices, but it arises spontaneously, but it is the opposite of the ideal form of Buddhism.

This also shows that Old Man Wu, although there is still a big gap between him and Lao Kong Shiye and others, is more pragmatic. is a great figure of the Ming Dynasty, and he thinks that his realm is significantly higher than that of Wang Shouren of the same era, but his fate is much more bumpy and helpless than that of Wang Yangming, and he can't even compare.

These two people have a lot in common, they are very rich in knowledge in Confucius, Meng, Lu Zhu, Huang Lao, Xuanxue, Junshi, Taoism, Confucianism, and so on, especially in the practice of the mind. The difference is that Wang Yangming admires Confucianism, and Lao Wu is sad and values Confucianism over Confucianism.

Then watch the second episode of Journey to the West, understand the true truth of Bodhi, and return to the original spirit of the demons.

apprenticeship, the teacher first let people teach him to sprinkle and sweep to deal with it, and the festival of advancing and retreating is seven years. One day, the patriarch ascended the altar to preach the avenue. It's really true, the sky is falling, and the ground is surging with golden lotus. Wonderful performance of the three teachings, subtle and perfect. Slowly shake the tail and spray pearls, and the thunder and thunder move for nine days. Talk about the Tao for a while, talk about Zen for a while, and the three families cooperate with this as it is. The word of enlightenment converts sincerity and reason, and guides the non-birth of sexual mysteries. This pile of descriptions must be about the commonalities of Confucianism, Taoism and the three saints, what commonalities everyone knows, don't say it, just say it, the sky is falling or something, hehe, it's very euphemistic, it's almost a nonsense to describe it, it's obviously a sand gate, and it wants to mix Confucianism and Taoism.

The monkey was so happy to hear it that it caught the attention of the patriarch and asked how long it had been, and he was able to understand the nonsense. Wukong said that he didn't know the season, but he had eaten peaches for seven years. But as I said later, we have never known the years. Teacher Bodhi said that it was a rotten peach mountain, what kind of way do you want to learn? Hehe, isn't this an allusion to the real Master Xuanzang in history when he was in Nalanda Monastery in ancient India for almost seven years. However, it seems to be a coincidence that Sun Wukong has been with Su Bodhi Patriarch for more than seven years, and Zhu Yuanzhang has indeed been a monk for eight years when he was young.

The master and apprentice will work in vain, this one doesn't learn and that one doesn't learn, the patriarch chooses those things that deceive children to fool the emperor and even hurt heaven and reason to tease Sun Wukong. The monkey is now an honest man who wants to live forever, so how can he care. The patriarch set up a fan in the plate and deliberately left ignoring the disciples. It's interesting here, just a monkey who understands the true intentions of the ancestor, it's really a good listener to see the appearance and distinguish the color, here Caesar quoted the words of the ninety-third Monkey King.

Then Su Bodhi and Sun Wukong also played a scene, Wukong said, "There are no six ears here, only one disciple", the master promised to pass on the way of immortality, it should be noted here that Sun Wukong This is the second time in the book that Sun Wukong deliberately described kneeling and kowtowing to Su Bodhi.

Here Mr. Wu has already told you that the six-eared macaque did not exist later, or that the Lingming stone monkey and the six-eared macaque were actually the same monkey. It is even expressed that maybe Su Bodhi does not exist, or Su Bodhi and Rulai are one person, and there is an even more sensational possibility, that is, Sun Wukong and Su Bodhi may also be one person.

The last point of view is the most absurd, but what is Subodhi known for, how can he solve emptiness if he doesn't Wukong? If he is good at solving emptiness, he will let a monkey make his family Wukong? The real Subodhi more than 2,000 years ago was the son of a Brahmin clan, and he was quite intelligent, but he had a bad personality, and he complained too much and resented it, which made others hate. He left home and hid in the forest. Said that he met the mountain god to tell the Buddha where to preach, after meeting, the Buddha said that you are too hateful, Su Bodhi knelt down to repent and confess and left, by chance, he obtained the fruit of Suda Huan, re-proved the Arhat fruit, and later saw the Buddha, the Buddha was overjoyed, and also let Su Bodhi come to his room, asked his parents to agree if they agreed, people are very smart, and finally became a disciple of the Buddha. Later, when the two of them asked and answered in front of the other disciples, no one else could understand emptiness, and only the Buddha and Subodhi could understand each other. Isn't this Sudra Huan fruit and arhat fruit corresponding to the peach fruit and the ginseng fruit? But the first two fruits and the last two fruits are actually two different things, and the wind and horses and cows are not related. Hehe, let's continue to talk about this fruit problem in the third time.

Besides, Sun Wukong also said that there are only four ears and one person here. That's right, the original book reads, "There are no six ears here, only one disciple, I hope that the master will be merciful and pass on the way of immortality to me, and I will never be ungrateful." "There are no six ears" is easy to explain, but "only one disciple" (Master, not counted) is difficult to understand, and there are quite a lot of mysteries in it.

This is to break the stubborn emptiness and Wukong, and to become a Buddha must be Bodhi. What is the essence of the Bodha, the mind, the mind that makes people enlightened. Let's not discuss it for now, but in general, the saying that Subodhi and Buddha Nyolai are the same person best explains everything that follows.

Then Su Bodhi passed on the true secret of the secret circle, regretting the cultivation of life without him, the Tao and the Buddha are one, the core is to screen the evil desire to be cool, if this is practiced, you want to become a Buddha and become an immortal casually. At this time, let's talk about the root cause, and this root cause is the essence and spiritual cultivation life.

The monkey spent three years cultivating the magic tricks taught by the teacher, so the Dharma was quite common, the root gradually solidified, and he had been injected into the divine body, but he still could not effectively avoid the three calamities. It's interesting here, the patriarch said that you are not a human being, and you can't pass on the disaster avoidance method. Why, I look like a human, why can't I learn it? Wukong, you have less cheeks. The monkey smiled, Patriarch, you are gone, a certain little cheek but a vegetarian bag is allowed to fold.

It's a joke here, and Caesar has seen it several times before he seems to understand what a vegetarian bag is, that is, macaques and some squirrels have cheek pouches, and a small amount of food is temporarily stored, which grows in the gills. And apes, horses, monkeys and so on, there are no cheek pouches, only laryngeal pouches, which are near the throat and eyes, and the big ones can hang down to the chest.

But what does this mean, it tells us that this Monkey King is a macaque, and he is extremely smart. Good at observing people's expressions, listening to your words, and perceiving your thoughts, can break the mystery in the plate, and so many disciples next to him can't guess the ancestor's intentions.

Understand, this Lingming stone monkey plus the so-called six-eared macaque is actually a monkey of Sun Wukong. As the joke goes, one monkey rides in the tree, not seven. Later, Rulai was vague, saving face for Sun Wukong, and playing Tang Seng, Bajie, Sha Seng and the Bodhisattva immortals in the sky and on the ground. Of course, the beast can hear it, not see it, and this beast can see the good and the evil. So it knew that it was actually a monkey, but the good and evil, the virtuous and the foolish were acting there, and they were acting a lot, so they didn't dare to say it, for fear that Sun Wukong would be angry and take him away. Even if this matter is exposed, it will not be the turn of a low-status demon beast to lift the lid. Guanyin said that demons can be killed by finding a reason, and it is a merit. Therefore, listening to the truth is just a reminder that the Dharma is boundless. Monkey King is also likely to be Su Bodhi's apprentice at the same time, can he not protect his shortcomings? Besides, Buddhism pays attention to self-interest and altruism, and it is absolutely impossible to do things that harm others and are not beneficial to oneself.

There is also a book that says that after Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, when he fought with Erlang God, he also changed back and forth. Rao is Erlang God will also change seventy-two times, and he can't see the clues. It's all judged and analyzed by the monkeys, not to mention that there is a thin dog, and it may be impossible to smell it. Jade Emperor Guanyin and they all use various methods to see, so what can these fools see? Shunfeng Ear and Clairvoyance are the same, what they hear and see is a superficial phenomenon, which is nothing more than magnifying and pulling closer. It's not good to look in the demon mirror, it's okay to deal with the physically and mentally exhausted Bull Demon King, not to mention that the essence of the monkey is not actually a demon.

But does this Monkey King dare to find such a smart master as Erlang God to identify? Don't dare, I'm afraid that people will analyze it. However, Erlang God is also too smart and loves to tell the truth, so Heavenly Court doesn't want him to serve in heaven, and he doesn't need to be straightforward and smart. You see what the Jade Emperor promised, catch the monkey, and let Erlang God ascend to the sky, but later, he still didn't fulfill his promise.

Do you think that Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng made mistakes and drove them out of the lower realm? Both of them have a characteristic, either they don't say it, or they tell the truth. But after the Nether, after reflection, oh, I understand, if you are too honest and kind, you will end up with no good future, so they all eat people, and their personalities have changed dramatically.

Su Bodhi Patriarch taught Sun Wukong the seventy-two changes of the earth, and later taught the somersault cloud, that mantra is a good guy, it's so interesting, it's a somersault cloud? It's almost like a monkey. At this time, Lao Wu teased through the mouths of other disciples, hehe, the creation of monkeys, after learning this, you can be a super courier waiter.

What are the disciples of Nasu Bodhi, all of them are heroic and strange-looking, that is, they are separated from each other in appearance and body, and their hearts are empty, but how can they say that they are one by one? Of course, those high-ranking monks in the book, including Rulai Guanyin, are also a bit like this, and they speak without a door.

I don't want this monkey to like to show his ability in front of people, this Su Bodhi Patriarch is also scolding him, and the cultivators are open-mouthed and distracted, and their tongues move right and wrong, hehe, Old Man Wu is talented, who is this talking about? Su Bodhi talked about a lot of life truths. "Hurry up, go back and cultivate your life, you can't show it here. ”

In fact, this Su Bodhi Patriarch, there are too many other things for others, and I can't just accompany you monkeys to play here, you go and everyone scatters. He also said that he was not gracious, so don't cause trouble and affect the patriarch. Why, if this monkey doesn't cause trouble, he is still called a monkey, and he is looking forward to Sun Wukong going elsewhere to cause trouble. At the same time, this statement is similar to the later Rulai's rhetoric, and he is afraid that Sun Wukong will not be able to control his mouth and talk nonsense to Qingniu, not that he is afraid of Qingniu, the key is that Taishang Laojun can't make trouble for himself.

Patriarch Su Bodhi finally confessed to ask Sun Wukong not to say that he was his apprentice, and he was scared and drove away the monkey.

Sun Wukong drove the somersault cloud and returned to Huaguo Mountain in less than two hours, with a speed of about 15 km/s, which is about the same as the speed of the third universe. Bajie and Sha Seng are not good, the speed of these two brothers is estimated to be 1 km/s, not even yet.

As soon as the monkey returned, he heard his children crying, so he quickly asked what was going on, it turned out that there was a demon king who came to make trouble while he was away. Sun Wukong couldn't help but be furious and went straight to some dirty hole.

The two of them are going to fight without speculation, one is three feet tall, the other is less than four feet, yes, the height of the Monkey King in the book is only about one meter three. Sun Wukong plucked his hair and turned into hundreds of little monkeys to clean up the demon king, snatched the knife in a few clicks, and cut it into two pieces, by the way, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and also saved dozens of captured little monkeys on his side.

(In February 1352, Guo Zixing, Sun Deya, Yu, Lu, Pan and others from Dingyuan proclaimed themselves marshals, launched an uprising, and occupied Haozhou.) Huangjue Temple was burned down by the rebels, and the monks scattered and fled. Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to leave, and soon there was an old man who wrote to persuade him to join the army, but it was difficult to verify who it was. Lao Zhu was helpless later, so he had to go to Haozhou in March. was caught as a spy by the Red Turban Army, but was favored by Guo Zixing, so he stayed in the army, and later married the third daughter of Ma Gong, who was a friend of the neck, to Zhu Yuanzhang. In the winter of that year, the Yuan generals Jia Lu and Yue Ge Cha'er besieged Haocheng. In the spring of the following year, Jialu fell ill and died, and Yuegechaer withdrew his army. ）

The monkey used his magic power to return to Huaguo Mountain together, and told the general experience, in addition to the teacher's name and the exercises, he did not speak, and told everyone that he had a surname, all surnamed Sun, a litter of grandchildren or something, and they were very happy.

After reading it in the book, I understood that in fact, Patriarch Subodhi did not teach any too advanced spells, nor did he give some magic weapons and weapons. Of course, one reason is to keep it secret, so that others can't judge the origin of the monkey's teacher, and the most important thing is that the fundamental purpose of Su Bodhi is just to let Sun Wukong have a certain combat power, he is a demon with great powers, and he is a super thug who can cause trouble.

In the eighth chapter of Journey to the West, if you give Guanyin three tight hoops, you can prove it. If Patriarch Su Bodhi really taught the monkey some infinite supernatural powers, it would be troublesome, this tight spell can't cure Wukong, then it will be repaid, and Tang Seng will have to finish playing with a stick.

So Sun Dasheng encountered a demon with real skills, but he couldn't do it at all, and he was still in tears many times, and he was infinitely aggrieved in his heart.

However, the monkey is still very powerful, and the real Patriarch Su Bodhi has only learned the basic skills for three years, and the seventy-two changes and the ability of the muscles and clouds add up to less than two days, and the rest is the grasp of skillful use.

Then Su Bodhi probably didn't expect it, this monkey is too good to learn, and he can't stay any longer. Otherwise, ink and ink yourself. A soft-hearted person who teaches some of his great magical powers is bad, and generally the size of this ability is directly proportional to the degree of ambition expansion.

If Sun Wukong had the same skills as the later nine-headed Yuan Sage, it would be too simple to go all the way to the West Heaven, and if he opened the road and met the water to build a bridge in the mountains, then it would become a passing scene, but it would become a great sage to test the Buddhist Dao Immortals. However, Patriarch Subodhi also had to teach some practical skills, such as the seventy-two changes and somersault clouds. What are the seventy-two changes of the earth's evil, if you look closely, you will understand, it is not at all the so-called "three calamities" to avoid what Su Bodhi scares the monkeys, the thunderstorms, the yin fires, and the wind disasters from the sky, and none of them appeared later. So it's actually an opportunistic skill, which is used to deceive people, fairies and monsters, and take advantage of your inattention, steal your treasure or catch you off guard. However, Sun Wukong is really a heavenly and earthly show, not only learned this skill, but also invented a new "hairy change", and even Guanyin was greatly inspired and gave the monkey three willow leaves "life-saving hair". So the biggest advantage of somersault cloud's ability is actually to greatly shorten the time for Tang Seng to ask for food, and he can't starve the holy monk to death.

Therefore, after a comprehensive analysis, we will find that it is definitely not so simple to go west to learn scriptures, it is the Buddhism that has carefully designed a bureau, and Taoism has also followed in, and the two families have a common purpose. This game is quite clever, and it is worthy of "the chessboard is the earth and the sky, and the color is created according to yin and yang." went down to the Xuanwei Change, and laughed at the rotten Ke Xian that day."

Lao Wu said at the beginning of the book that if you want to know the Yuan Gong of the Creation Society, you must see the Legend of Journey to the West. This creation is not natural, it is artificial, and this primordial merit is nothing more than fame and fortune. The fame and fortune that does not show the dew of the mountains is the Yuan Gong, and those who are destroyed can only blame you for the low creation, and the big one can return to the Buddha and become a Buddha. "Rather than love a son to survive, it is better to abandon it and win", such as the eighty-fourth and fifth chapters of Journey to the West, "Destroy France" to "Chin France", that is really called a monk who has given up and gained, and gave up 9996 monks with low cultivation, and has made due contributions to this Western Heaven learning from the scriptures.

At the end of the second chapter of Journey to the West, he said, hey, through the surname and return to the original, just wait for the name of the immortal to be moved. If you want to know how this Huaguo Mountain turned out, please listen to the next nonsense.
