Why did Sun Wukong cry many times on the way to learn the scriptures?
Text/Liu Xianluo
Chapter 1 The source of spiritual root nourishment flows out of the mind and practices the great path to be born
How can the Monkey King live happily and innocently for three to five hundred years? One day, during a wedding banquet with a group of monkeys, he suddenly became distressed and shed tears. The monkeys hurriedly bowed and said, "Why is your king troubled?" The monkey king said, "Although I am happy, I am a little far-sighted, so I am troubled." The monkeys laughed again and said, "My king is so dissatisfied! I will wait for the day. Huanhui, in the blessed land of the fairy mountain, in the ancient cave of China, is not ruled by unicorns, not governed by phoenixes, and is not bound by the throne of the world. Being free and at ease is an immeasurable blessing. Why worry about the future? "The monkey king said: "Although I am not bound by the throne of the world, I am free. If you return to the law of the human king, you will not be afraid of the majesty of animals. In the future, when you are old and your blood is weak, you will be secretly controlled by the King of Hell. Once you die, will you be reborn in the world in vain and not be able to live among gods and humans for a long time?" When the monkeys heard this, one by one? Hiding his face and crying in sorrow, he is worried about impermanence. ?
Suddenly, a thong-backed ape jumped out of the group and shouted loudly: "If the king is so far-sighted, what is the so-called development of the Taoist heart! Now among the five insects, there are only third-level ones. Name and form are not under the control of Lord Yama." The Monkey King said, "Do you know those three classes of people?" The Monkey said, "They are the Buddha, the Immortal, and the Divine. The monkey king asked: "Where do these three live?" The monkey said: "They are only in the world of Jambu, in the ancient cave fairy mountain." When the monkey king heard this, he was filled with joy and said, "I will leave you and go down the mountain tomorrow." From the corners of the sea to the ends of the earth, you must visit these three places to learn how to live forever and avoid the troubles of the Lord of Hell."
This is Sun Wukong's first cry. He and the monkey Sun are playing around every day without any trouble. After playing carefree for three to five hundred years, I have reached old age. Suddenly, a sense of crisis arises from the bottom of my heart. I feel that this life should not be spent in such a muddle. How can I live happily forever? He then developed a lingering sense of powerlessness.
Chapter 2: Understanding the true and wonderful principles of Bodhi, severing demons and returning to the origin to unite with the soul
The Patriarch said: "Wait and get up." He called: "Wukong, come here! I ask you to do it What kind of spirit can you show off in front of others? If you see others have it, they will definitely ask you. If you are afraid of disaster, you will tell them. It will definitely harm you: your life is not guaranteed." Wukong kowtowed, "I just hope Master will forgive me!" The Patriarch said, "I don't blame you, but just go ahead." Hearing this, Wukong said with tears in his eyes. "Master, where do you teach me to go?" The Patriarch said, "Wherever you come from, just go there." Wukong suddenly realized, "I came from the Water Curtain Cave in Guohuaguo Mountain from Dongsheng Shenzhou Aolai." The Patriarch said: "You go back quickly, I will save your life. If you stay here, you can't do it!" Wukong accepted the blame and said, "I am suing your esteemed master, I have been away from home for twenty years. Although I look back on my children and grandchildren in the past, I still remember my master's kindness." I don’t dare to go without retribution.” The Patriarch said, “What kind of kindness is there? You just don’t cause trouble and don’t involve me!”?
Wukong had no choice but to say goodbye and say goodbye. The Patriarch said: "If you go here, you will be destined to be bad. No matter how much trouble you cause and commit crimes, you are not allowed to say that you are my disciple. If you say even half a word, I will know it. I will skin you hozen, file the bones, and banish your soul to this place." In the Nine Netherworld, you will never be able to stand up again!" Wukong said: "I will never mention the word master, just say it is my own skill."
Sun Wukong cried this time because of it. He had no sense of humility and showed off in front of everyone, so he was reprimanded and dismissed by Patriarch Bodhi. He cried when he thought that everything he had asked for had been granted, but he had not yet repaid the Master's kindness.
Patriarch Bodhi is indeed wise. People are "not worried about the scarcity but the inequality" and "laugh at others when they hate others". Failure to love often leads to distorted psychology, thus harming others and ourselves. The ancients said, "Great wisdom is like foolishness, great skill is like clumsiness." "If you don't see yourself, you will be wise; if you don't know yourself, you will be enlightened; if you don't cut yourself off, you will be successful; if you are not proud of yourself, you will be strong. You don't fight, so no one in the world can fight with you. "It's not unreasonable, because only in this way can you protect yourself. As the saying goes, "You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others."
Chapter 27 The Three Plays of the Corpse Demon by Tang Sanzang. Hate Chases the Monkey King
The Great Sage jumped up, shook his body, and collected his hair, then ordered Sha Monk: "Xian brother, you are a good person, but as long as you are careful to guard against Bajie's words, You have to be more careful on the way. If a goblin catches the master, you can say that Lao Sun is his great disciple. If you hear my tricks, you will not dare to hurt my master. "Tang Monk said: "I am a good monk, so I don't care. You have such a bad name, just go back." Seeing the elder's repeated replies, the great sage refused to change his mind, so he had no choice but to go. Look at him: he kowtows with tears and bids farewell to the elders, and pays careful attention to Sha Monk with sadness. ?
One head wipes the grass in front of the slope, and two feet kicks over the vines on the ground. The sky above and below the earth rotate like a wheel, and he is the best in flying across seas and mountains. In an instant, the shadow disappeared, and in an instant, he quickly returned to his old journey. You see, he couldn't bear to say goodbye to his master, somersaulted, and went back to the Water Curtain Cave in Huaguo Mountain. I was alone and miserable, and suddenly I heard the sound of water. When the great sage looked up in the air, it turned out to be the sound of the tide of the East Ocean. As soon as I saw him, I thought of Tang Seng again. I couldn't help but shed tears on my cheeks. I stopped in my tracks for a long time before leaving. ?
In this chapter, Sun Wukong cried twice. For the first time, Sun Wukong was enlightened by Guanyin and helped Tang Monk go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. He conquered demons along the way and made great achievements.
The argument is that Tang Monk should praise him instead of chanting curses and scolding him to go away from time to time. But as the master and apprentice got along for a long time, his demonic nature was gradually eliminated, and he developed real emotions and dependence on the master. However, the master did not distinguish between true and false, and did not know good and evil. He repaid kindness with hatred and wanted to expel him, a person who had made meritorious deeds.
The second time, because he saw the East China Sea and thought of what happened last time.
Chapter 14 of "Journey to the West", "The Monkey Returns and the Six Thieves Without a Trace" writes:
The traveler reached out and pulled out an embroidery needle from his ear, and waved it into the wind. But it was an iron rod, as thick as a bowl. He held it in his hand and said, "Don't go! Let Lao Sun try his hand at hitting it with a stick!" This frightened the six thieves into fleeing, but he dragged them away and clapped around them. If they catch up, they will all be killed. He stripped him of his clothes, took away his money, walked away with a smile and said: "Master, please come, the thief has been killed by Old Sun." Sanzang said: "You are in trouble! Although he is a gangster who cuts paths, Even if you get a lawsuit, you won't be punished. Even if you have the means, you can only retreat. Why do you kill them all for no reason? How can you be a monk and sweep the floor without hurting the lives of ants? Why do you care about moths and beat them to death indiscriminately? There is no one in the mountains to check. If someone rushes into you in the city, you will do it with a stick. How can I get away if I'm a free man and hurt someone randomly?" Wukong said, "Master, if I don't kill him, he will kill you." Sanzang said, "As a monk, I would rather die. I will never dare to commit murder. Even if I die, I will only die, but you killed six of them. How can you explain this? If this matter is brought to the official, even if you are an official, you will not be able to explain it."
Xingzhe. Said: "To tell you the truth, Master, five hundred years ago, when I was called the king of Huaguoshan and called the monster, I didn't know how many people were killed. If you were to reach an official position like this, you would have to be sued. "Sanzang said: "It is only because you confiscated and neglected me, acted violently on the world, and deceived heaven and deceived others that you suffered the hardships you suffered five hundred years ago. Now that you have entered the Samana, if you still act like you did at that time and just hurt people, you will not be able to leave. Xitian, you can't be a monk! It's so evil! It turns out that this monkey can't stand being popular in his life. He couldn't hold back his anger when he saw that Sanzang was talking about it. Don't punish me for being evil, I'll just go back!" But Sanzang didn't agree, so he lost his temper and said, "Old Sun, go away!" Sanzang looked up hurriedly, but he was already gone. He only heard a cry and went back to the east. Leaving the elder alone, he nodded and sighed to himself, full of sorrow and resentment, and said: "This guy! This guy doesn't want to be taught! I just said a few words to him, but why did he just go back without a trace? Come on! Come on!" Come on! It’s my destiny not to recruit a disciple! Now I can’t find him, but I can’t tell him to come!” Go back to the West at your own risk, and don’t rely on others to make your own decision.
……
After tea, the traveler looked back and saw a painting of a bridge crossing hanging on the back wall. The traveler asked: "What kind of scenery is this?" The Dragon King said: "The great sage comes first, and this matter comes later, so you don't recognize it. This is called the three steps of walking on the bridge." The traveler said: "Why is it called the three steps?" ?
The Dragon King said: "This immortal is Huang Shigong, and this son is Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty. Shigong was sitting on the bridge and suddenly lost his shoes under the bridge, so he called Zhang Liang to get them." The boy hurriedly fetched it and knelt before him. After doing this three times, Zhang Liang showed no sign of arrogance or neglect. Therefore, Duke Shi loved his diligence and taught him the Book of Heaven at night. As a result, he was able to strategize and win the battle thousands of miles away. After the peace, he abandoned his job and returned to the mountains, wandered around the red pine tree, and realized the path of immortality. "Great Sage, if you don't protect Tang Monk, don't work hard, and don't receive instruction, you will be a monster after all, and you can't even hope to achieve enlightenment." Wukong heard the words and pondered. He was silent for a long time. The Dragon King said: "The great sage is in charge of his own affairs. He can't take it easy and miss his future." Wukong said: "Don't talk too much, and Lao Sun will protect him."
In Chapter 14, it is Sun Wukong himself was distracted and hurt the lives of six thieves: "eyes see joy, ears hear anger, nose smells love, tongue tastes thought, opinions are lustful, and body is worried". After being enlightened by the Dragon King of the East China Sea, Sun Wukong realized that he was arrogant and neglectful. After being criticized and nagged by his master, he showed no regrets and left angrily. In Chapter 27, he was driven away by his master and returned to Huaguo Mountain. When he passed through the East China Sea again, he thought of what happened last time. Thinking about my own experience, I went to Ningbo with great joy, but instead of humbly accepting Master's teachings, I was always arrogant and indifferent. After being criticized by the master, I felt dissatisfied and even wanted to leave. Now watching "Journey to the West", I really cannot control my "heart ape" and "imagination horse".
Chapter 33 Heretics are obsessed with the true nature of the soul to help the original mind
But it is said that the great sage was suppressed by the magic of the devil under the root of the mountain. He shouted sternly: "Master! I thought that when you went to Liangjie Mountain and uncovered the seal, Lao Sun escaped from the great disaster, taught the ascetics, and thanked the Bodhisattva for the decree. I live with you and practice together, and we share the same fate. We both saw and understood, but when we encountered a demonic obstacle, we were crushed by him again. Poor! Poor! You deserved to die. It was hard for Sha Seng Bajie and the little dragon to turn into a horse! Tree, people with high reputations mourn people!" After sighing, the tears were like rain.
...
When the traveler heard the word "duty", he was frightened. He turned his head to the sky and shouted loudly: "Heaven! Sky! Since the beginning of chaos, the sky has opened. At the beginning of the earth, I was born in the Huaguo Mountain. I have also visited Masters everywhere to teach them the secret of immortality.
Think of me who changes with the wind, subdues tigers and subdues dragons, makes trouble in the heavenly palace, is called a great sage, and has never deceived the mountain gods and the land. How dare this shapeless monster today call the mountain god and the land as his slaves and take turns to be on duty for him? Oh my God! Since I gave birth to an old grandson, why did I give birth to this generation again? ”
In this chapter, Sun Wukong cried because he thought about the five hundred years he was trapped under the mountain by the Tathagata Buddha. Thanks to his master, he rescued him and received Guanyin’s guidance to help Tang Monk obtain the scriptures. Unexpectedly, he encountered I saw a powerful monster and was trapped under the mountain again. Who can save me this time? Where is the majesty that once went to heaven and earth? When I heard the monster summoning the mountain god and the land as a slave, I screamed in the sky and cried. The sigh of "How can you be so beautiful"!
Chapter 34 The Demon King cleverly plotted to trick the Monkey King into deceiving the baby
When Sun Dasheng saw it, he did not dare to go in and only stood outside the second door. With a face on his face, he burst into tears. Why was he crying? Was he afraid of him? Even if he was afraid, he would not cry. Kuang first coaxed his baby and then killed his little demon, but why was he crying? At that time, he was in the Jiuding oil pan, and even after seven or eight days, he did not shed a single tear. Just thinking of Tang Monk's troubles in seeking scriptures, he burst into tears and cried as soon as he looked at it, but he thought in his heart: "Old Sun has shown his strength." The trick is to turn into a little demon and invite this old monster. He has no reason to stand up straight and speak, so he must kowtow to him. I did a good job for others and worshiped only three people: Buddha in the West Heaven, Guanyin in the South China Sea, Master Liangjieshan saved me, and I worshiped him four times. For him, cut six leaves into pieces, connect the liver and lungs, and use up the three hairs and seven holes of the heart. How much is a scroll worth? Today I was taught to worship this monster. If you don't kneel down and worship, Fengxun will definitely go away. Bitter! In the end, I was only in trouble because of Master, so I was humiliated by others! "At this moment, there was nothing I could do. He rushed in, knelt down and said, "Grandma, kowtow. The strange man said: "My son, get up." "The traveler secretly said: "Okay! good! good! Call it solid! ”
This time, Sun Wukong cried because when he transformed into a little demon to defraud the golden ropes from the mothers of King Golden Horn and King Silver Horn, he thought that he was once arrogant, arrogant in the world, and only worshiped three people. Now, in order to protect Tang Monk and obtain scriptures, I have to worship an old witch. How shameless?
Chapter 51? Xin Yuankong uses all kinds of tricks to refine the demon
It is said that the Great Sage Qitian, defeated with nothing, came and sat behind Jingao Mountain. With tears in his eyes, he shouted: "Master! I hope to be with you: Buddha, kindness, virtue, harmony, and youth. There is no shortage of business with colleagues. Living together, cultivating together for liberation, having the same compassion and thoughts, manifesting the spiritual power. We have the same fate, the same heart, and the same understanding. Unexpectedly, now that there is no main staff, how can we prosper with empty fists and bare feet! The great sage was miserable for a long time, and thought to himself: "That goblin recognizes me." I remember him praising in the battle: ‘It’s really like making trouble in heaven! ’ This kind of thing is definitely not a monster in the world, it must be an evil star in the sky. Thinking about the lower world. I don't know where the demon has descended, and I have to go to the next world to investigate. ”
Sun Wukong finally knew that “there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world”, and he knew that his own power was limited. In fact, this is also what a person must experience in the process of growing up.
Fifth Chapter 17: True Monk Luojia Mountain Complains about the Fake Monkey King Shuiliandong Transcript
But it is said that Sun Dasheng was so upset that he got up in the air and wanted to go back to Shuiliandong in Huaguo Mountain. He was afraid that the cave was too small. The demon laughs at me, and laughs at me for going against my will and not being a real man. I want to go to the Heavenly Palace, but I am afraid that I will not be able to live there for a long time. I want to go to the island, but I am ashamed to see the immortals on the three islands. I want to go to the Heavenly Palace. He ran to the Dragon Palace, but he didn't lose his temper and asked the Dragon King. He was really helpless, and he thought to himself: "Let's go, let's go, let's go! I will go see my master, and I will still achieve the right result." "
When the traveler saw the Bodhisattva, he fell down and worshiped. Unable to stop the tears welling up, he burst into tears. The Bodhisattva taught Mu Cha and Shancai to help him up and said: "Wukong, there is something very sad, obviously. Come on. Don't cry, don't cry, I will help you and eliminate disasters. The traveler shed tears and worshiped again: "When you were a disciple, what kind of energy did you receive? The Bodhisattva freed you from natural disasters, taught ascetics, and protected Monk Tang from going to the west to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. My disciple sacrificed his life and fought hard to rescue him from the evil obstacles, just like The tiger snatches the brittle bones from its mouth, and the dragon's back uncovers scales. He only hoped to return to the true fruit, cleanse his karma and eliminate evil spirits. How could he know that the elder was ungrateful and ungrateful, and he was obsessed with a good destiny, not to mention the unjust suffering! "The Bodhisattva said: "Let me hear the innocent reason. "The traveler recounted the story of how he killed the bandits in detail. However, he said that Tang Monk was resentful because he killed many people, and he was indiscriminate, so he recited the Tightening Curse and chased him away several times. There was no way to go to heaven, and to the earth. No way, I came here to tell Bodhisattva.
Why did Sun Wukong cry the most when he met Bodhisattva? None. So he felt aggrieved and retreated again. The Bodhisattva said that it was your merit to kill demons and monsters, but it was your bad deeds to kill ordinary people. Although Sun Wukong sincerely protected Tang Monk, he did not completely eliminate it. Because of his demonic nature, he did not abstain from killing animals. Also, I think that after Sun Wukong developed his skills, he had nothing to fear except the Buddha, Guanyin and the Master. However, only Guanyin and the Master were afraid of him. Emotionally, he was the closest to him. Now the master had really wronged him by driving him away because of a trivial matter. So, the strong man cried like a child in front of the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva.
From this, if an employee makes a mistake, how should the leader handle it? When a child makes a mistake, how do parents deal with it?
When I watched "Journey to the West" before, I only liked watching Sun Wukong undergo seventy-two transformations, soar into the clouds, ride on the mist, and subdue demons.
Now when I watch "Journey to the West", I see the various aspects of life, personal growth, the way of the world and people's hearts, the society of the weak and the strong, corporate management, how to educate children, and Buddhism. , Tao, Yi...
