There is a story that everyone seems to be able to recite with it: Sun Wukong, born in Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave, fights tigers during the day, tosses ghosts and gods at night, protects mountains and caves, and leads the monkeys to look like a person, so that the monkeys live a carefree life and never get tired of it. However, for some reason, the Monkey King was troubled by the doubts of life and death, he was willing to give up everything, went on adventures alone, and finally got the enlightenment of the Bodhi Patriarch at the top of Fangcun Mountain.
Sun Wukong has lived under the protection of monks since he was a child, and at the age of seven he can travel thousands of miles, at the age of ten he can ride the wind and clouds, at the age of fourteen he can kill ghosts and gods, and at the age of eighteen he can turn mountains and seas. Every time he progressed, he surprised Patriarch Bodhi, every time he "recommended himself", he made Patriarch Bodhi worried, and every time he solved the mystery of the abyss, he surprised his **. Until he successfully transformed into a human and showed his "seventy-two changes", Bodhi Patriarch no longer hesitated, figured out Sun Wukong's talented, but unruly personality, and resolutely drove him away from Fangcun Mountain.
When we saw Sun Wukong being kicked by Patriarch Bodhi and returning to Huaguo Mountain, have we ever thought about how Patriarch Bodhi couldn't bear him? "As the so-called Mo Shang Sang turned wild hemp, Fangcun Mountain only left an empty mountain. "What we see is Sun Wukong's runaway, but we ignore the sadness of Patriarch Bodhi.
In fact, Patriarch Bodhi knows that if Sun Wukong does not leave Fangcun Mountain, it will cause great trouble, and he will not be able to save Sun Wukong himself. He can only pray, hoping that Sun Wukong can awaken himself, find himself, and wake up to the world.
The emotional entanglement between Sun Wukong and Bodhi Patriarch in "Journey to the West", savor it carefully, how can it not be a portrayal of our real life? We are sometimes like Monkey King, clinging to ourselves, stubbornly opinionated, forgetting the environment we are in, and relying too much on it. In the same way, we may also be like Patriarch Bodhi, who has a better understanding of life than ordinary people, and sometimes we have to give up some of our most cherished things and push them to safety. Therefore, Patriarch Bodhi is not a villain, he is just practicing his own educational philosophy, hoping that Sun Wukong can grow himself and become a real hero.
From this point of view, this story is a story about self-cultivation, self-knowledge, and self-transcendence. The story of Sun Wukong is also a microcosm of our current society, he constantly breaks through self-cultivation and enriches the spiritual home of mankind with his own practice. This also makes us understand that no matter what situation we are in, as long as we have the heart, it is possible to move forward and create a brilliant life.
