Why didn't Sun Wukong escape from the palm of Rulai? What did Bodhi say to him?
Because of Sun Wukong's master, Sun Wukong will say the ranking in the sect, which is also the reason why he chose.
So, what exactly made Sun Wukong succumb to Rulai?
Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the heavenly court, and the Bodhisattva was very kind, so he talked to him and asked about the origin of this mischievous monkey.
During the conversation, the Buddha made a unique bet with the Monkey King: if the Monkey King could fly through the palm of his right hand, the palace would belong to him.
When Sun Wukong heard this, he was also excited, driving a somersault cloud and rising to the sky. However, Sun Wukong can't escape from Rulai's hands, which is very weird.
Some people also say that this is because Rulai's hand can contract freely, making Sun Wukong unable to fly. Is that really the case? Sun Wukong has a clear record in the original text, how strong Sun Wukong is, Rulai knows.
This means that the speed at which the Buddha's palm extends and extends may not be able to keep up with Sun Wukong. Why didn't Sun Wukong move when he got to five fingers?
In fact, Sun Wukong's ** is his**, and he is likely to be of the same sect as Rulai. Therefore, when Sun Wukong talked to Rulai, he may also have some understanding, so he has a special trust and love for him.
Before the bet began, the Buddha warned Sun Wukong not to mess around, otherwise he would suffer a big loss. Sun Wukong accepted the advice of the Buddha and understood that there is a heaven outside the sky, there are people outside the sky, there are heavens outside the sky, and there are people outside the people.
However, he can be regarded as picking up a life.
Sun Wukong is willing to lose in the hands of Rulai instead of escaping from the palm of the Buddha, that is because the relationship between the two is too good.
Sun Wukong's generation is "enlightenment", and the generation of the Buddha is "such as", so these two people should be from the same sect.
Sun Wukong's master, Bodhi had already told him, and he also understood that with the strength of the Buddha, he should be one of them.
Sun Wukong also had a sense of closeness when he talked to the Bodhisattva, which made him more and more sure of his guesses.
Sun Wukong worshiped under the Bodhi Ancestor, saw the extraordinaryness of these senior brothers, and knew that although his cultivation was profound, he was still a little unsightly compared to Rulai, who ranked sixth in seniority.
Therefore, when Rulai made a bet, Sun Wukong originally wanted to make a big fuss, but he knew how different his strength was from Rulai, so he took the initiative to stop and surrender.
Sun Wukong is indeed very arrogant, he is also invincible in the heavenly realm, although he has never been soft on these immortals and demons, but he cares about his fellow disciples very much in his heart.
Even if the master doesn't recognize him, he has to respect the master, not to mention that if he cultivates a step higher than him, he has no reason to refute it.
Sun Wukong stopped fighting very wisely, because he knew that he was not Rulai's opponent, and if he continued to entangle with Rulai, he would take his own life into it, and it would be worth the loss.
After thinking about it, Sun Wukong finally chose to surrender, after all, it is not ashamed to surrender in front of the powerful Rulai.
Sun Wukong can't escape the clutches of Rulai, which seems to be problematic on the surface, but it is actually a choice. Sun Wukong did not fly any further, but stopped.
It's not that the hand of the Nyorai Bodhisattva is powerful, he just sees the situation clearly and understands the gap between himself and the Nyorai.
We must also be like Monkey King, first know our catties and know how capable we are.
There are some things that we don't really want to give up, just to keep ourselves from putting ourselves in danger.
Sun Wukong made a wise and wise decision, he knew very well his ability, and he also knew that the qualifications of the Buddha were above him, and he knew very well that if this continued, there was a high probability that something terrible would happen.
So, he stopped fighting and gave up fighting, not because he was afraid, but because he knew that sometimes, giving up does not mean losing, but rather a wise way to protect himself.
Sometimes, we will also encounter strong enemies in our work, and we may face a lot of difficulties, only by knowing where our limits are, we can reduce our losses in time, and stop when we should stop.
Just like Sun Wukong, it is also because of self-knowledge that he will surrender in front of Rulai.
Why didn't Sun Wukong escape from the palm of Rulai? This is not because Sun Wukong's hands can be bigger and smaller, but because he gave up on his own.
Under the provocation of Rulai, Sun Wukong realized the disparity in power between the two, and if he continued to fight, he would only suffer the loss. So in order to save himself, he had to stop.
