Who is the master of Bodhi Ancestor?
Bodhi Ancestor is one of the four great Chinese masterpieces. The characters in "Journey to the West" have vast divine power and are ancestor-level characters. So how did the Bodhi Ancestor learn such a profound mana? Who is the master of Bodhi Ancestor?
Portrait of Bodhi Ancestor.
In "Journey to the West", there is no relevant information about Bodhi's ancestors. In "The Romance of the Gods", Bodhi Ancestor appears in Western religion as a quasi-Taoist, but there is no relevant introduction to who Bodhi Ancestor's master is. So who is the master of Bodhi Ancestor?
In the modern network** "Founding Yuan Ling", the master of Bodhi Ancestor is introduced. Written in this **, at the beginning of the birth of the universe, there was a primordial spirit who opened his mind and gradually became sane. By chance, this primordial spirit obtained the creation artifact located in West Kunlun, and after several generations of practice, this primordial spirit finally completed its merits. , and this primordial spirit is the ancestor of all things, known as the "founding primordial spirit".
When it succeeded, four more creatures with different images and nascent spiritual apertures appeared, and the Founding Yuan Spirit gave the creation artifact it obtained to these four creatures, one of which was the Mixed Kun Patriarch.
Patriarch Mingkun specializes in "Xuan Lingqi", * countless, as long as he learns from him, he comes, does not refuse, and the Daoist and the quasi-Daoist are his big ** and second**. These two ** have done a lot of work. and joined forces to create a sect called Western Religion. This person who leads the Tao is Rulai, and the ancestor of Bodhi is a quasi-Taoist person.
Therefore, the master of the Bodhi Ancestor is the Mixed Kun Patriarch. But this is only the content of this network**, and the role of the ancestor does not exist in Chinese myths and legends.
Bodhi Ancestor Journey to the West.
Bodhi Zu is a character in Wu Chengen's "Journey to the West", however, he has very few scenes in the entire "Journey to the West". As a master who really taught Sun Wukong skills, what kind of character is Bodhi Ancestor in "Journey to the West"?
Stills from the TV series "Journey to the West" Bodhi Ancestor.
Bodhi Ancestor "Journey to the West", there is a Buddhist name, the form of Buddhism, but the appearance is a typical Taoist image, to highlight is that Bodhi Zu is a proficient in Buddhism and Taoism The image of a master in the world. In "Journey to the West", Bodhi Ancestor is indeed positioned as a character who understands all three religions. When Sun Wukong apprenticed to him, he said that he was proficient in a hundred schools and let Sun Wukong choose. When Sun Wukong began to learn some low-level courses, his buddies had martial arts of all factions, which shows that Bodhi Ancestor is an eclectic person, and he will not stick to one faction. On the contrary, all schools of thought are accepted and integrated.
Such a supernatural figure, but not proud, no one in sight, but amiable. Not only is the amiable appearance, including expressions, words, etc., will not give people a feeling of unattainable, and more, it is a feeling of being a worldly master.
In the original book, since Sun Wukong finished learning from Bodhi Ancestor, Bodhi Ancestor has never appeared again. When Sun Wukong returned from his studies, the Bodhi Ancestor made a request to him, asking him not to reveal where his master came from. He knew that Sun Wukong would cause trouble in the future, but he still taught Sun Wukong a skill. This is the desire for freedom in his heart, and even though the Bodhisattva has the ability to reach the heavens, the environment simply does not allow him to have absolute freedom. He yearns for freedom, so even though you know that the Monkey King will break into a catastrophe in the future, he still teaches his skills.
Journey to the West" Bodhi Zu could not compete with his own environment, so he chose to hide the world, he educated the world in his own small world, taught apprentices, and helped the world alone, this is the pursuit of the author Wu Chengen, the life of Bodhi Zu is the life that he pursues all his life as a poor man.
The apprentice of Bodhi Ancestor.
The reason why people know the role of Bodhi Ancestor? , this is because I came into contact with Wu Chengen's "Journey to the West". As a grandfather-level character in "Journey to the West", Bodhi Ancestor has profound mana, but the apprentice of Bodhi Ancestor, people may ignore it.

In fact, "Journey to the West" buried a clue that Sun Wukong is the apprentice of Bodhi Ancestor, but in "Journey to the West", it is more about the four Tang monks and apprentices learning scriptures in the West, Sun Wukong has always been called Tang Seng**, therefore, it is inevitable to keep in mind the identity of Sun Wukong as Tang Seng's apprentice, and ignore the clue that Sun Wukong is the apprentice of Bodhi Ancestor.
Journey to the West", Sun Wukong has great powers, and even used to be in the Heavenly Palace**, but it was also because of the trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and the Five Finger Mountain of the Buddha did not escape in the end. , was pressed down the Wuzhi Mountain for 500 years, until he met Tang Seng was liberated. So where does Sun Wukong's divine power come from?
Born in Huaguo Mountain, Sun Wukong was born from the immortal stone since the beginning of the world, and called himself the "Monkey King". After that, Sun Wukong left Huaguo Mountain to learn art, and the object of this apprenticeship was Bodhi Ancestor. At first, Bodhi Ancestor did not accept Sun Wukong as an apprentice, but Sun Wukong kept kneeling outside the door, and in the end, Bodhi Ancestor was moved by his determination, and took him as an apprentice, under the door of Bodhi Ancestor, and studied art with the Bull Demon King.
Under the teaching of Bodhi Ancestor, Sun Wukong learned spells such as the seventy-two changes of earth evil, somersault clouds, and stealth. Bodhi Ancestor is also **, Sun Yukong is not the master who keeps himself safe, so he asked him to keep the secret of his master. Therefore, on the surface, Sun Wukong did not call Bodhi Ancestor"**
Bodhi Ancestor Taishang Laojun.
People often compare Bodhi Ancestor and Taishang Laojun together, but in fact, in fact, Bodhi Ancestor has nothing to do with Taishang Laojun.

Bodhi Zu is a character in "Journey to the West" written by Wu Chengen, with vast divine power, and is an ancestor-level character. He has infinite mana and is a master of the world. He lived in seclusion, but he also recruited apprentices and socialized with some woodcutters and wild elders. He has a Buddhist name and Buddhist thoughts, but he wears Taoist clothes and is a well-versed figure in Buddhism. He is the master of the Monkey King, who taught the Monkey King the ability to make a fuss in the Heavenly Palace later, but also to protect himself. He had long known that Sun Wukong would definitely break into a catastrophe in the future, but he still taught Sun Wukong's skills, and when Sun Wukong wanted to return after learning, he told Sun Wukong not to mention the requirements of the master in the future. It can be seen that Bodhi Ancestor is an image that longs for freedom, nature, and solitude.
Taishang Laojun is recognized as the ancestor of Taoism, has the ability to open the heavens and create the world, and has the responsibility of redeeming and educating the godhead in Taoism. In Taoism, Taishang Laojun has the supreme position, he has saved countless people, and also left a Taoist classic called "Tao Te Ching" to future generations, therefore, Taishang Laojun is also called Daode Tianzun, and it is also the most fragrant god of the three Qingzun gods. It is said that Lao Tzu, who is known as the ancestor of Taoism by later generations, is the eighteenth incarnation of Taishang Laojun and specializes in educating people.
Although Bodhi Laozu and Taishang Laojun appear in "Journey to the West", in fact, these two people are not important. Taishang Laojun is a character in Taoism, and Bodhi Zu is just a character created by Wu Chengen in "Journey to the West".
