GuanyinThe Bodhisattva has always been revered as a holy and noble image, and in Journey to the West, she holds a clean bottle in her hand and steps on itLotus, to be bright and compassionate and compassionate, to helpMonkey KingGot rid of a lot of demons. As the teacher of the Seven Buddhas, she has a very high status in the Buddha realm. However,GuanyinThe Bodhisattva appears in the story in an unexpected way, she transforms into a wolf demon, which is far from her usual image.
GuanyinThe reason for such a change in image can be traced back to the seventeenth chapter in the original bookMonkey KingwithTang SengMet a guy calledElder JinchiThe old monk. The old monk's eyes were redTang Sengrobe, trying to snatch it over. However,Monkey KingSaw through his conspiracy and burned down his monastery. But at this moment,Black Bear Spirittook advantage of the fire to rob and take the robe away. Monkey KingFight against it, but you can't do it, so you have to seekGuanyinhelp.
Rush toBlack Bear SpiritOn the way to the caveGuanyinwithMonkey KingEncounteredBlack Bear SpiritAn old friend of Ling Xuzi. Monkey KingtowardGuanyinSuggest that she become the appearance of Ling Xuzi in order to deceiveBlack Bear Spiritand reclaim the stolen robe. GuanyinI was worried that my image would be damaged, after all, her status is so high, how can she become a wolf demon?
However,GuanyinShe knows people's hearts, she understandsMonkey Kingand recognizeBlack Bear SpiritThere are still good thoughts that can be transformed. She toldMonkey King"Bodhisattva goblin, always a thought." If it is as it is, it is nothing. This sentence contains a profound philosophy and also reveals the multifaceted nature of the character. To judge whether a person is a bodhisattva or a goblin, we should not only look at the appearance and superficial words, but also look at whether the heart is truly good. Some people may look decent on the outside, but in fact they have hidden wolf ambitions;And some people may seem ordinary, but they have good thoughts that can be transformed.
This diversity is also reflected in the changing roles, where different situations and different pressures can trigger different responses. GuanyinThe reason why the Bodhisattva is willing to turn into a wolf demon to subdue itBlack Bear Spirit, that is, he saw the good thoughts in his heart and believed that he had the possibility of transformation. IfBlack Bear SpiritThere is no value of transformation at allMonkey KingHe had already been beaten to death.
This change is not just rightBlack Bear Spiritpersonal change, tooHumanityReflections on pluralism. When a person is faced with different things, he may show different faces, or even turn his face completely and not recognize people. It's likeGuanyinLike a wolf demon, the relationship between the bodhisattva and the goblin is only a change of thought. Sometimes, we will find that a person behaves very well-behaved and filial in the family, but shows a selfish side towards the ordinary people. This phenomenon makes people ponder: what is really what it is?GuanyinThe bodhisattva's change shows that a person's good or evil is judged not by his appearance or status, but by what he really thinks in his heart.
This story sparked my thoughtsHumanityand reflections on the diversity of roles. We often base ourselves on a person's physical appearance, status orSocialEvaluate to judge his good and evil. However,GuanyinThe image of the bodhisattva does not correspond to her actions, proving the inadequacy of this simple method of judging. A person's behavior is often influenced by a lot of factors, including environment, stress, personal experiences, and more. Sometimes, some people may temporarily go against their nature and behave contrary to their image, but this does not mean that they have completely changed their taste.
On the contrary, we should pay more attention to the true wishes and good thoughts of one's heart. Even if a person behaves badly in a particular situation, we should give him the opportunity to correct himself, believing in his potential and plasticity. As suchGuanyinThe Bodhisattva seesBlack Bear SpiritThere are also good thoughts, just like being willing to turn into a wolf demon to subdue him, we should also have a tolerant and changing way of thinking.
In short,GuanyinThe Bodhisattva's changed image is a wake-up call for us not to judge a person's good or evil simply based on their appearance and appearance. HumanityIt is pluralistic, and different situations and circumstances can trigger different behaviors. We should pay more attention to the true wishes and good thoughts of our hearts, believing that everyone has the possibility of improving and becoming better. Such a way of thinking not only helps us to better understand and tolerate others, but also leads us to judge our own and others' actions more correctly.
