How can the monkeys of Huaguo Mountain enter the Heavenly Palace?
On the distant and sacred continent of Dongsheng, there is a Huaguo Mountain, which is densely forested and full of monkeys. Whenever the spring breeze turns rain, the mountain is full of life and green grass. One day, the fairy stone on the mountain was struck by a lightning bolt, and a cute monkey came out of the crack. This is the Monkey King, the Monkey King, who later conquered Huaguo Mountain and ruled the Water Curtain Cave.
The little monkey was born with great strength and soon became the queen of the jungle. But her tenacious and rebellious nature makes it difficult for her to be content to navigate this small world forever. So one day, Sun Wukong decided to leave the familiar mountain and go to the outside world to find the elixir of life.
The walker practiced from afar, seventy-two incarnation spells and skills, and finally got the help of the gods. When he triumphantly ascended Huaguo Mountain, he was surprised to find that he had left the light, and the forest had changed several groups of monkey kings. Sun Wukong watched the tragic fate of these monkeys fighting for power and profit in the jungle, and his heart was boiling: he wanted to become the ruler of the monkey group and build a carefree and forever happy world!
One by one, the monkeys looked at the golden light emitted by Sun Wukong and marveled that he was a real god. With his superhuman strength and majestic body, Sun Wukong quickly defeated all the monkey generals, conquered Huaguo Mountain, and became the Monkey King. He ordered the monkeys to dig a water curtain cave and built a water curtain cave consisting of seventy-two holes in the cave. Here, he became the Monkey King in the hearts of all the monkeys, and the seventy-two changes and the wishful golden hoop stick are all his credits. They all rejoiced, no longer worried about birth, old age, sickness and death, and regained their cheerful personalities.
When the monkeys are enlightened, all the monkeys look up to the sky.
Sun Wukong is self-taught and has a happy life every day. However, the ignorance of the monkeys ends up causing him problems. In the spring of that year, the monkeys followed Monkey King for a walk in a waterfall cave. Suddenly, a little monkey got hungry and started looking for fruit to eat on the side of the road. It looked up and saw a large, fresh fruit growing on a tree. He was about to climb the tree to take a look, when an old woman stopped him and told him that it was a Ganoderma lucidum fruit and that he could not eat it.
But the little monkey didn't know what the Ganoderma lucidum fruit was, thinking that the old lady was making fun of her. The little monkey chased her frantically and climbed the tree to pick fruit to eat. Sun Wukong hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, but it was too late. The old woman suddenly turned into a tall god-man and pushed the little monkey off the cliff. Sun Wukong was furious and raised the golden hoop stick to hit her. Who knew that the gods were infinitely powerful, and grabbed the golden hoop stick of Monkey King and knocked him to the ground.
It turned out that this immortal was the depressed true immortal Laojun, who repeatedly missed the peach feast and couldn't eat the peach. At that time, he went to collect medicine and was furious at Sun Wukong's rude behavior. After some struggle, Sun Wukong finally recognized Lao Jun's identity and hurriedly knelt down to admit his mistake. Only then did Lao Jun put down his mana and magnified the Holy Return to Huaguo Mountain. However, he already had a grudge against Sun Wukong in his heart, and decided to report Monkey King to the Jade Emperor.
Sun Wukong entered the Dragon Palace and committed the Heavenly Palace.
Lao Jun went to the Heavenly Palace to complain, which made it difficult for Sun Wukong to give up. He refused to admit defeat and wanted to go to the Heavenly Palace to see what was going on. So, he called all the monkeys for a banquet and said that he was going to visit his relatives in the heavenly palace. In fact, the crooked-mouthed great wise man stumbled upon the reason why he was born in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall in the crack of the stone - a fairy stone, a fairy stone that fell from the sky to the world, collided with the aura in front of the Huaguang Cave, and turned into a macaque that can speak human words, which makes it different from ordinary monkeys and can travel the world.
The Jade Emperor was overjoyed when he learned that the Monkey King was a spirit monkey that he had not met for thousands of years. He arranged an empty and boring cavalry officer position for Sun Wukong and planned to put him under house arrest. How could Monkey King obey orders? He immediately resigned from his official position and flew back to Huaguo Mountain in the clouds. The Jade Emperor was furious at the moment and sent heavenly soldiers and generals to arrest Sun Wukong. Who knows that Monkey King is very different from ordinary monkeys, and a somersault can turn over tens of thousands of miles. It's very difficult to catch him.
In desperation, the Jade Emperor had no choice but to attack the Dragon King of the East China Sea. He knew that the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea had a legendary artifact, the Golden Waist Stick, and as long as he had this thing, he would be able to hold this great ape up in the sky. So, he repeatedly coerced and lured the dragon king, and asked him to pull out the golden hoop stick to help the heavenly court.
Although the Dragon King forbears, the Jade Emperor is his master, and only the Jade Emperor can order to go to Huaguo Mountain to find the Monkey King. He lied to Monkey King that there was an immortal fate in the Heavenly Palace, and asked him to go again. Sun Wukong didn't want to be deceived. Without saying a word, he snatched the valuable things on the Dragon King, took the Heavenly Sword and Fengyun, and happily returned to the Water Curtain Cave. The Dragon King wanted to cry without tears, so he had to go to the Jade Emperor again to sue Sun Wukong.
The Buddha took in the Great Sage and imprisoned him at the foot of the Five Fingers Mountain for 500 years.
A big war is inevitable. This time, the Jade Emperor directly sent his entire army to capture Sun Wukong. Just outside the Water Curtain Cave, 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals came to forcibly enchant the boundary. Sun Wukong did not show weakness, and climbed all the way to the clouds, showing his ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth. Just as the two armies were facing each other, a force to be reckoned with rose - the Dragon King of the South China Sea was furious and ordered his sons and nephews to avenge him. Disguised as hunters, they took the opportunity to capture a large number of monkeys in the Water Curtain Cave and brought Monkey King out of the Water Curtain Cave.
At this time, the Great Sage was really moved, and he endured the pain to confront the nephew of the Dragon King of the South China Sea. The two sides fought for several days, and it was difficult to tell the winner. The Jade Emperor made a killing move in time and summoned the great god of Buddhism, the first generation of power in Wanqi Mountain, the Buddha. If the mana is boundless, in just a few words, the two dragons of the Dragon King of the South China Sea will go down the mountain. Suddenly, a huge golden peach appeared in his hand, and he was playing a game with the Great Sage.
The content of the bet is very simple: if the Great Sage jumps out of Ruraj's heart, Ruraj will allow him to go back to the mountain and rebuild the waterfall cave; If he couldn't jump out, he would have been crushed to death for five hundred years. The great sage was full of confidence. He tried his best, but the power of Nyorai's spell was too great, and in the end he couldn't jump out of the palm of Nyorai's palm. The Buddha tied his hands, waved his five fingers, turned into a mountain, knocked the great sage from a high place, and pressed him under the mountain with his five fingers.
In order to prevent the Great Sage from getting into trouble again, Rulai placed a spell on the mountain: after five hundred years, the Great Sage will not be able to escape the captivity of this mountain. If you come to see that the great sage is angry and corrupt at the foot of the mountain, but there is nothing to do, you can rest assured to go to the Jade Emperor. At this point, Sun Wukong finally paid a terrible price for his temporary sobriety and was imprisoned at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain for 500 years.
Why didn't Krishna kill the Great Sage?The reason is surprising.
Even the Buddha, in the name of the Heavenly Palace, was very happy to get rid of this monkey who did not know the height of the sky. After all, Monkey King has been in chaos in the Heavenly Palace for a long time, and he has injured many Heavenly Palace soldiers, and he deserves death. Lula's move was undoubtedly to eliminate the harm to living beings and remove a breath of evil for the Heavenly Palace.
Surprisingly, Rulai did not choose the most direct and powerful way - to kill the Great Sage directly. He just used his mana to bring the Great Sage to the foot of Wuzhi Mountain and restrict his freedom for five hundred years. This is undoubtedly a kind of leniency for the demon monkey who caused an uproar in the heavenly court.
Why did Jizo make such a decision?Why didn't he simply take the life of the Great Sage and suppress him for 500 years?There must be reasons for this that we don't know. Perhaps the value of the Great Sage was far more important than his sins, and that was the true purpose of Krishna in keeping him on earth.
It is not difficult to see that the founder of Buddhism, Buddha Nyolai, has always adhered to the basic ideas of forgiveness and compassion in Buddhism. When the Jade Emperor and the countless immortals of the Heavenly Court were furious and wanted to kill the Monkey King, Rulai did not give in, but gave him a chance to atone for his sins.
This is in contrast to Buddhism"The universality of life"The ideas coincide. Perhaps in the eyes of the Buddha, Monkey King was just a disoriented monkey who must be forgiven even if his actions were stupid. Moreover, he has extraordinary abilities, and if he can correct his behavior, he will be of great use in the future.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand the choice of King Jizo. Instead of killing the Great Sage, he restricted his freedom. Five hundred years is enough time for the Great Sage to reflect on the past and be a new man. Lula's decision undoubtedly gave the Great Sage a chance to be on the verge of extinction, and it also foreshadowed that he could rebuild the Western Heaven for the benefit of the future of the Heavenly Palace.
Of course, according to the wisdom of the Buddha, there must be a deep meaning in this that we do not know. Maybe all this is his calculation, and the Great Sage is just a pawn in his plan. We don't know that Rulai holds the future of the Heavenly Palace in his hands, and we don't know that he can obtain the scriptures for all this. That's why the Buddha magnified his life path and gave him a chance to atone for his sins.
Five hundred years have passed, and the Great Sage awaits the day when his promise to Nyolai will be fulfilled. When the monk Rulai passed by Wuzhi Mountain after taking scriptures, he ignited the great sage and opened the seal on the great sage's body. At this time, the Great Sage was already remorseful of his past mistakes and was determined to make amends and atone for his sins.
In this way, under the guidance of the Buddha, the Monkey King gradually changed from a monkey who could only scatter wild to a great hero who protected the western sky, and had unparalleled combat effectiveness. Perhaps all this was expected by the Buddha. The reason why he didn't choose to kill Monkey King was because he knew that the monkey's nature was unchangeable, and he also understood the great value of Monkey King's merits to the future.
Life is like a game, everything depends on interpretation. After 500 years of suffering and experience, the Great Sage finally realized the true meaning of life. Krishna's forgiveness and compassion allowed him to be reborn as a new self, and this is the true meaning of the departure of the Great Sage.
