In order to get started in life, for writing training next year, and for love, in the second half of the year, I took great pains and really made a lot of preparations. Tomorrow, the last treasure "ThinkPad P51" (mobile workstation) will start in JD.COM. I was calm before this purchase. The next few decades will be the era of content publishing, and this treasure just meets all my needs, and interestingly. I've been trying to figure out the lucky number "548". The original price of the notebook is 5288 yuan, and the coupon minus 24 yuan (which will be used tomorrow) is just 548.
What's the special meaning of this number 548?
To talk about this 548, it is a mysterious figure in Journey to the West. The mord of Friar Sand is 5,48 Jin, and the rake of Pig Bajie is 5,48 Jin. The number of days for Tang Priest to learn Buddhist scriptures in the West was originally 5,4 days. In order to make up the number of "one Tibetan", the Tathagata sent eight donkey kong to escort him and returned within eight days, which happened to be 5,48 days. Moreover, the scriptures taken by Tang Priest are also 548 volumes. This number is 548. Why did the author Wu Cheng'en arrange this when he wrote The Journey to the West's book?
According to my understanding of the whole Journey to the West TV series, 548 has the meaning of going through twists and turns, going through hardships, and making a positive result. Is the chance encounter of this number 548 similar to my life in Shanghai in recent years?
anyway, I will keep this number, whether in words or otherwise, and keep it.
It turns out that there is such a secret hidden in Journey to the West, which is interesting. (The following text information is copied on the Internet)
As we all know, the Monkey King, the Tang Priest, and his disciples are shouldering the heavy responsibility of going to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures. They have traveled all the way from the Tang Dynasty in the east to the Lingshan in the West to learn Buddhist scriptures.
There was a flurry of demons along the way, and Tathagata and Guanyin collected eighty-one difficult, so that Tang Priest could get the scriptures smoothly. When the Tang Priest got this scripture, the number of scriptures given to Tang Priest by the Tathagata Buddha was also very particular. One more volume was necessary, and one less volume was not, that is, 548 volumes!
Many people will say, what's strange about this? Tathagata just has 548 volumes of scriptures, all of which were given to the Tang Priest. Actually, it is not. According to the original description, Tathagata Buddha always has 35 scriptures in Lingshan, totaling 15,144 volumes, but Tathagata has to give 548 volumes to Tang Priest. It's really strange!
In addition, the Tang Priest promised that Tang Taizong would hold a land and water conference after he came back from studying the scriptures, so as to truly fulfill his merits and benefit Chang 'an. When Tang Priest the Monkey King and others successfully returned to Chang 'an, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin was overjoyed, and immediately held a grand land and water conference, so that Tang Priest could personally preach and recite the scriptures!
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin made the stage, tables, chairs, incense sticks and other equipment of the land and water conference all short of the east wind. Just as Tang Priest stepped onto the stage, before the microphone was adjusted, suddenly a strong wind blew!
Everyone was shocked, especially the Monkey King, who thought that the Tathagata had sent monsters again. Is it necessary to make up the disaster figures again? Just as everyone all flashed their weapons, I saw the sky flash across the eight donkey kong in Lingshan. Look at what donkey kong said-
Eight donkey kong appeared and shouted, "Put down the scriptures and come back to the west with me." After that, the Tang Priest and his disciples, together with Bai Longma, rose to the sky and left with King Kong.
This change puzzled Li Shimin. What's the name of the Tathagata in Lingshan? Didn't we agree to hold a land and water conference? Why did you suddenly take my host Tang Yan away?
actually, this is really a Tathagata arrangement. It turns out that this change is also related to the number 548. Look at how Guanyin Bodhisattva said to Tathagata-"The disciple who took the gold purport to seek scriptures from the east in those days has succeeded now. * * * For fourteen years, it is 5,4 days, eight days less, which is not in line with the hidden number. I hope you, my Lord, will give the holy monk an early return to the east and turn to the west. Within eight days, you must finish the collection and allow the disciples to return the gold. "
It turned out that it took Guanyin fourteen years to find out that Tang Priest and others had learned the scriptures, and it took more than 5, days. In order to make up 548 days, Tang Priest and others must be allowed to rush back to Lingshan immediately on the 548 th day.
what is the attitude of the Tathagata? When the Tathagata heard that he was overjoyed, he immediately sent eight donkey kong to Chang 'an by plane and let Tang Priest the Monkey King and others return to Lingshan on the 548th day. It is precisely because of this arrangement of Tathagata that Tang Priest was taken away by Eight donkey kong before he took the stage to speak, leaving a startled face of Emperor Taizong.
To sum up, why do Tathagata Buddha and Guanyin have to make up the figure of 548? Recently, Jinbao finally found some clues by reading the original text and reading ancient books. It turns out that in ancient times was pronounced as a circle. The complete reading of 548 is the homonym of my original Sakyamuni. In order to collect 548, Tathagata did not hesitate to make Tang Priest anticlimactic, and finally only completed the scriptures, but did not achieve the effect of passing on the scriptures.
In the end, Emperor Taizong held the land and water conference as scheduled, but with a different host.
