How much does Harbin pet small potatoes
Anyone who has read Journey to the West knows that Guanyin Bodhisattva once said after Sun Wukong knocked down the ginseng fruit tree: "You monkey head, you actually caused trouble, Zhen Yuanzi is the ancestor of the earth immortals, I also let him score three points, why did you hurt his tree!".As soon as this statement came out, everyone may think that Zhenyuan Daxian is very powerful, but it is not as good as Guanyin Bodhisattva, after all, Guanyin Bodhisattva just said "let him have three points", more respect than fear, and finally Guanyin also saved the ginseng fruit tree, so the strength of Zhenyuan Daxian is not as good as Guanyin Bodhisattva. So, is this really the case?
In order to understand this problem, we must first know the origin and status of Zhenyuan Daxian. In Journey to the West, it is mentioned that Zhenyuan Daxian is the ancestor of the earth immortals, but as a Taoist patriarch-level figure, he established a dojo in Xiniu Hezhou, a Buddhist territory, which shows his status and strength. Moreover, Zhenyuan Daxian is an innate god, the same generation as the sect leader saints, and they are all guests in Zixiao Palace. The Guanyin Bodhisattva is the second generation of **, which was born from the Taoist teachings, the predecessor was called Cihang Zhenren, and after the gods, he abandoned the Tao and joined the Buddha, which was the Guanyin Bodhisattva. From this point of view, Guanyin Bodhisattva should be called Uncle Zhenyuan Daxian.
As for why Zhenyuan Daxian respected Guanyin Bodhisattva more during the Journey to the West, and then saved the ginseng fruit tree. This is actually a concession made by Zhenyuan Daxian in the face of the general trend of Buddhism, because there are two saints standing behind Buddhism (Jieyin and Zhun Ti), which is as strong as Zhenyuan Daxian has to sell them a face;Moreover, the Zhenyuan Daxian Dojo is located in Xiniu Hezhou, which is the territory of BuddhismAnd make good friends with Buddhism, you can also share some luck, which is conducive to your own and your subordinates' practice. Therefore, Zhenyuan Daxian will wait for Guanyin Bodhisattva to save the ginseng fruit tree, and then worship Sun Wukong.
