Everyone should be no stranger to the ghost and animal drama "Journey to the West" in the classic gods and demons** "Journey to the West", especially the post-90s. In this drama, the Heavenless Buddha has boundless mana and vast magical powers, and in the face of a five-hundred-year catastrophe, Moluo Wutian descended on Lingshan and unified the Three Realms. However, in the plot, after Wutian just got out of trouble, the first thing he saw when he came to Lingshan was not the Buddha, but the ancient Buddha who burned the lamp, known as the ancestor of ten thousand Buddhas. This raises a profound question: what is the relationship between the Ancient Buddha and the Buddha?How is the status calculated?
The beginning of the mystery. 
The term "Journey to the West" naturally reminds us of Mr. Wu Chengen's gods and demons** "Journey to the West". In order to understand the origin of Moro Wutian's call of the Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Buddhas, we need to trace back to the source. In the original work "Journey to the West", the ancient Buddha of the lamp appeared twice, especially in the plot of Sun Wukong's peach feast, his figure is particularly crucial.
Unexpected encounters. 
After Brother Monkey drank the immortal brew by mistake, he actually broke into the Tushi Palace of Daozu Taishang Laojun, and successfully stole the nine-turn golden pill that Laojun refined for the Jade Emperor. Considering Dao Ancestor's strength, this incident could not have happened. However, the accident happened precisely because the ancient Buddha came to visit Taishang Laojun, creating an opportunity for Sun Wukong to escape.
The way to learn from the scriptures. 
In the process of learning scriptures from Tang monks and apprentices in the west, the ancient Buddha of the lamp appeared again. When Tang Seng and others did not get guidance in Lingshan Da Lei Yin Temple, the ancient Buddha sent the Venerable Daxiong to incarnate as an eagle to solve the mystery of the wordless, so that the Tang monks and apprentices would not make this trip in vain.
Echo of the Romance of the Gods.
Although it is not mentioned in the original book of "Journey to the West" that the ancient Buddha is the ancestor of all Buddhas, in "Journey to the West", Wutian gave him this honorific title. The reason for this is that we set our sights on Mr. Xu Zhonglin's other gods and demons** "Romance of the Gods".
The figure of the lantern man.
In the romance, do we still remember the figure of the deputy sect leader of the Illumination Lamp?His status is second only to the Sect Master Yuan Shi Tianzun, and he is called a teacher by the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Sect. This immortal is praised in **"The head of the Ten Thousand Buddhas, the source of the ancestral Buddha"。It is worth mentioning that "Romance of the Gods" was written after "Journey to the West".
Wheel of Fortune. 
The prototype of the Burning Lamp Dao Man is believed to be the Ancient Buddha of Burning Lamp. In the story, he was taken to the West by Lao Tzu along with the Jin Xian of the Teachings and transformed into Shakyamuni Buddha. The legend of this point may be the myth and legend of Lao Tzu riding a green ox out of Guguan in Taoist culture.
A battle of power schemes. 
Back to "Journey to the West", in this drama, the relationship between the ancient Buddha and the Buddha has become confusing. Considering the plot in the romance, the ancient Buddha of the burning lamp is the deputy leader of the teaching, and the Buddha is actually the chief of the sect leader of the Tongtian sect. The power struggle between the two is undoubtedly incredible.
East meets West. 
However, under the harmony of Hongjun Taoists, the three religions are one. In the East, the status of the people of the Burning Lamp Dao is equal to that of the Duobao Dao people;In the West, due to the existence of the Golden Immortals of Exposition and Interception, a power struggle was formed. However, calculated by generation, the people of the Burning Lamp Dao have a higher status among the Golden Immortals of the Teachings and are known as teachers.
Interpretation of Buddhist culture.
From the perspective of Buddhist culture, the ancient Buddha is the Buddha of the past, the Buddha of the present is the Buddha, and the Maitreya Buddha is the Buddha of the future. According to the Diamond Sutra, the Ancient Buddha is believed to be a prophet who predicted that the Buddha would become a Buddha, and can be regarded as the teacher of the Buddha.
Epilogue. In this article, we reveal the ins and outs of the mysterious relationship between the ancient Buddha of the lamp and the Buddha of Rulai in "Journey to the West". From gods and demons to myths and legends, from the East to the West, the identities and status of these two Buddhas are intertwined, which is breathtaking. Perhaps, just like the harmony of Hongjun Dao people, everything in the universe will eventually usher in peace and unity.
