If the Buddha and Taishang Laojun are the big guys of the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, then if these two big guys are compared, who is more powerful? Many people may think that the Buddha is a little better, after all, the Buddha easily suppressed Sun Wukong. I can only say that you really can't treat the Taishang Dao Ancestor as a waste. Look at a few details, and you will know how good the Taishang Dao Ancestor is.
Detail 1: Slap the Buddhist boss in the face
First of all, Taishang Dao Ancestor is very arrogant, we can take a look, when he caught Sun Wukong, he directly said such a sentence in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
When he passed the letter and turned Hu into a Buddha, he was very much indebted. Morning and evening are the best way to defend yourself.Directly talk about the matter of turning Hu into a Buddha, you must know that in our plane, this matter has been debated by the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism for a long time. Buddhism has never acknowledged this, and even said that it was nonsense. But in Journey to the West, the Taishang Daozu said this matter in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the Bodhisattva did not refute it. The key also said that his ** is used for self-defense, who do you think it is for? The monsters near Lingshan, do they still dare to fight the idea of the Taishang Dao Ancestor? It's obviously guarding against the ancient Buddha.
Detail 2: The performance of the Green Cow Spirit Buddha
Let's take a look at it again, in the difficulty of green cow essence, green cow essence can be said to not give face to the team at all. After the Buddha received Sun Wukong's request for help. didn't come forward to solve the green cow essence, but said such a paragraph.
I know about the monster, but I can't tell you. You monkey has an open mouth, and as soon as I preach to him, he will not fight with you, but will shout to the spiritual mountain, and he will bring disaster to me.From this sentence, we can see that the Buddha is a little afraid of this green cow essence. I think he should not be afraid of this green cow essence, but afraid of the magic weapon in the hands of this green cow essence. And this magic weapon is the Taishang Dao Ancestor, in other words, the Buddha is a little afraid of the Taishang Dao Ancestor with full firepower.
Although the Buddha, as the boss of Buddhism, can't say that he is so easy to admit it, and he also wants to compete with the Taishang Dao Ancestor. Let 18 Arhats bring 18 golden dansha to meet this green cow essence for a while. The final result, as everyone should know, is that these 18 gold mountains have been sent out.
Detail 3: Antiy Conference
There is another detail, it is not a battle between the two sides, nor does it mean that the two sides talk cruelly to each other. It's a contest of seats at a banquet. We can take a look at where the Buddha sat at the Antiy Conference.
The Jade Emperor opened the Jinque Yao Palace, invited me to sit in the chief, and set up the 'Antiy Conference' to thank me, but he resigned and returned.This sentence was said by the Buddha to his subordinates after returning to Lingshan. From such a passage, we can see that before the Antiy Conference, the Buddha had never been the chief. Therefore, it can be reasonably speculated that above the heavenly court, the position of the Buddha is also lower than that of the Taishang Dao Ancestor of the Sanqing level.
can only say that the ancestor is a little better
Therefore, we can take a comprehensive look at the overall strength of the Taishang Dao Ancestor, as well as the power above the Heavenly Court, which has stabilized the Buddha. As for why Taishang Dao Ancestor didn't get the monkey, I can only say that it's actually quite simple. You can think of it as an alternative kind of self-respect. If it is said that the Taishang Dao Ancestor has come up and dealt with all these rebellious monsters, then there is no value in existence. Moreover, the relationship between Sun Wukong and Taishang Daozu is also very unusual, and Daozu does not need to kill his own people.
