As we all know, when the scripture-learning team finally accepted the reward, Zhu Bajie was not satisfied with his position as the messenger of the Pure Altar, he thought that he had both merit and hard work on the way to learn the scriptures, and he could become a Buddha by fighting so many monsters. But if the Buddha came to him, he didn't pay attention to Zhu Bajie's stubble at all, and directly told him that you are a messenger, and if you are not satisfied, you are also a messenger. So, why did the Buddha make him a messenger instead of a Buddha?
Reason 1: Merit and demerit
Although Zhu Bajie killed a lot of monsters on the way to learn the scriptures, and he also took the initiative to do a lot of tiring work. But Zhu Bajie can be said to have meritorious deeds on the road of learning scriptures. Take a look at the original words of the Buddha's reward.
Enter the Wusha Gate, protect the holy monk on the road, but there is stubbornness, pornography is not lost, because you have the merit to carry the burden, increase the promotion of your position, and be the messenger of the altar.Especially this color heart is not clear, you can understand that it was a lot of flirting with a lot of female monsters at the beginning. also molested the old mother of Li Shan, who tried the Zen heart of the Four Saints. In this case, it is already very good to give you a messenger, after all, it is not good for a lustful monk to say it.
I once gave you an analysis of Elder Jin Cicada, it was because he couldn't control himself that he was degraded by the Buddha, if Zhu Bajie became a Buddha and then made such a fuss, the Buddha was degraded again, and the face of the Buddha was probably unbearable, after all, the people he recruited became like this.
Reason 2: Not being treated by the Buddha
Another point is that Zhu Bajie itself is not treated by the Buddha, we can take a look at what this pure altar messenger does?
Because your mouth is strong and lazy, your stomach is wide. Covering the four continents of the world, there are many people who worship our religion, all the Buddha things, teaching Ru Jing Altar, is a useful grade, how bad!It seems like a good thing, because you can eat a lot of things, but what is this thing? We broke it, crumpled it, and told everyone that it was leftovers. If you say that it sounds good, it is leftovers, and if it sounds bad, it is swill, as for what is this leftovers for? I'm sure everyone should understand that in ancient times, leftovers were used to feed pigs. And the pig will grow fat very quickly after eating. I think this reward is similar to Sun Wukong's Bi Ma Wen. It's all about pointing out who you are, and then it feels like you're given a place that you have to accept. We know that Sun Wukong really took it out, but Zhu Bajie didn't have the ability to fight out.
Reason 3: I always want to break up and can't reuse
In fact, Zhu Bajie has another big problem, I have analyzed it for you, Zhu Bajie has mentioned breaking up many times on the way to learn the scriptures. This thing is actually very deadly, and the scripture study team is a project set up by the Buddha himself. And what they want is to let them go to the west to learn the scriptures, and then pass through the east and the earth. At this time, if you want to break up, it is equivalent to not keeping in line with the pace of the Buddha. In this case, even if you have achieved some success in the project. has also made a certain contribution, but when the first reward, this will still be taboo by the leader. Because you don't agree with me, I don't treat you as my own, since you are not my own, why should I give you too many benefits?
It can only be said that he will definitely not become a Buddha
It can only be said that Zhu Bajie can't become a Buddha, more of it is actually his own reasons, because he is not so mixed on the way to learn the scriptures, and he doesn't want to break up, like Sun Wukong, he goes to fight monsters when he has nothing to do, after all, he also has 36 changes, and ordinary monsters can be moved by themselves. At that time, it will not be a pure altar messenger, such an insulting position.
