Monkey King, finallyAlthough he was sealed to defeat the Buddha in battle, in fact, he cultivated the Taoist Tao and became a Buddha by relying on the Tao. Today's content is a bit difficult, so let's watch it alive!
Lao Tzu thinks that the Tao cannot be described, butThere are two things that are very close to it, one is water and the other is a baby. The good is like water, more than the Tao, this is easy to understand; Babies are in their most unpretentious primitive state, and they are in a state of no discrimination, so they are also close to the Tao.
The monkey jumped out of the stone at the beginning, which is a pure natural product, and it is also the closest state to the Tao, the most simple and original state.
When we reach the monkey society, we gradually have desires, competitiveness, and discrimination, and we slowly break away from the "Tao", just like most of us.
However, Sun Monkey was dissatisfied with the status quo, he was motivated, aggressive, and understanding, and he was lucky to meet the Bodhi Ancestor, learned the skills, and then the Dragon Palace snatched the golden hoop stick, Hell tore up the book of life and death, and was slapped by Rulai under the Five Finger Mountain after making trouble in the Heavenly Palace.
Lao Tzu said: Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature. What do people learn from the ground? Learn to be virtuous。The terrain is good, and the gentleman carries things with virtue. What to learn from the sky? Learn to improve yourself。Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement. If you have these two, you will be able to do it like water.
So what is the first stage of Sun Monkey? Of course, it's self-improvement! He has been working hard to learn and grow, all the way from the monster of Huaguo Mountain to the civil servant of Heaven Bi Ma Wen, and finally won the title of Monkey King, which is so inspirational!
However, it is not enough to have self-improvement, but also lack of virtue, which is responsibility, tolerance, and compassion. Rulai also saw that the Great Sage was a talent that could be created, so he pressed him for 500 years and didn't let him move, in fact, he wanted to cultivate him.
Why don't you let it move? BecauseTranquility is better than restlessness, and only when tranquility can Xu Qing be clear。Lao Tzu said that the power of stillness is infinite, and when you are still, you can overcome restlessness; Calm down, you can make your thoughts clear; When you are still, you will understand that you will not lose ......And pressed under the mountain, isn't it just for himBe grounded, learn from the earth and learn to be virtuousIs it?
When he was almost quiet, Guanyin Bodhisattva asked Tang Seng to take him to the society to exercise and exercise, so that he could truly unite knowledge and action, remove the monkey nature, and remove the discriminating mind, the key is to mustComprehend this way of life。After all, only when we understand the way of heaven, the earth, and humanity can we realize the Tao!
Then Wukong passed all the way to protect Tang Seng to complete the task of learning scriptures, and he himself changed from a reckless dragon-slaying boy to becomeFamiliar with and adaptable to all laws and regulationsAfter becoming a Buddha, he naturally lost his discriminating mind, returned to a simple and primitive state, and no longer competed, and understood that it was the way to fight for the sake of not fighting.
So, what is the truth about Journey to the West? The truth is to promote courtesy, righteousness and shame, and persuade people to do good, but in fact, everyone is indeed sophisticated and intrigued; The scriptures taken from the West Heaven are Buddhist classics, but the actual ninety-nine-eighty-one is not a sentence of Amitabha Buddha by Tang Seng, butTaoism and Legalism
Have you found that the Monkey King will observe words and emotions in the later stage, the more sophisticated the people are, they should be soft and soft, they should ask for helpers, they should not fight if they don't fight the related households, and they can play the game how they should play. Because he is truly enlightened, he knowsIt is necessary to follow the trend and do things according to the rules of the operation of societyThis is also in line with the Word.
Therefore, Sun Wukong looks like he is learning scriptures and becoming a Buddha, but he is actually a successful enlightenment. Of course, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are all common in the end, but Journey to the West allows us to see the true laws of the world. If you want to achieve "positive results", you must understand the rules of the game behind it.
Therefore, there is always nothing, and I want to see its wonders; Often, I want to watch and pay. We have to learn to watch first, and when you see through, you will know how to play!
