    Because the Buddha was testing Tang Seng, he didn't plan to let Tang Seng take the scriptures directly, butIt is necessary to let Tang Seng exchange the scriptures. Tang Seng finally reached the West Heaven after many tribulations, but when he took away the scriptures, he met two Venerable Ones who asked for "personnel". "Personnel" is the benefit fee.

    Tang Seng didn't expect to pay a benefit fee for learning scriptures, so he directly said no. Many readers also don't understand why His Holiness still asks Tang Seng for a favor. But looking at the reaction of the Buddha later, he was informed.

    Tang Seng did not pay the benefit fee, and the two Venerables gave Tang Seng a wordless scripture, that is, a fake scripture. After Tang Seng and others found out, they rushed back and complained to the Buddha, why did they give fake scriptures without a benefit fee? When the Buddha heard this, he not only did not get angry, but also persuaded Tang Seng to pay the benefit fee.

    He said, "The sutras should not be passed on lightly, nor should they be taken empty," which shows that the Buddha agreed with His Holiness's approach. If Tang Seng wants to take the scriptures, he has to take the benefit fee. Don't you think it's strange that Buddhism is not pure with six roots?

    What more benefits do you need?

    The Buddha wanted to tell Tang Seng that if he wanted to get, he had to pay. Tang Seng felt that he had gone through a lot of hardships to learn the scriptures, and he was acting on orders, and he should have obtained it for free. However, the Buddha said that there should be a benefit fee for learning scriptures, and Buddhism did not send scriptures to the Tang Dynasty for free.

    Tang Seng only then knew that he had to pay the price if he got the scriptures. He exchanged his purple gold bowl for the scriptures. This purple gold bowl was given to him by Tang Seng's sworn brother Tang Taizong, and it was used to turn into a golden bowl.

    Tang Seng only has this valuable thing on his body.

    Tang Seng would exchange this bowl for scriptures, also because he knew that scriptures were not easy to take. Although the purple gold bowl is valuable, it is worth exchanging it for scriptures. Why did the Buddha emphasize exchanging rather than taking?

    Just like in life, some people want others to help them unconditionally in their time of need. When others don't help, they will say that they will not save them when they die, and scold them in turn. This kind of thinking of taking is not right, and who has the obligation to help you unconditionally?

    In general, Tang Seng's act of changing scriptures is not a "bribe", but a rule. The Buddha is lacking in respect to emphasize that this kind of social rule is the source of the source, and should not be blindly taken, and if you want to get, you must pay.

    In order to let Tang Seng control Sun Wukong, Guanyin sent Tang Seng a tight mantra. The Tightening Spell can make the Monkey King's head shrink and make him have a splitting headache, so as to restrain the Monkey King.

    Inhibitions. Sun Wukong was reluctant to follow Tang Seng at first, always thinking of escaping, or doing something that was not in line with Buddhism, so Tang Seng sought a mantra from Guanyin to discipline Sun Wukong.

    A flower hat with a headband hidden inside, and also taught him to recite the hoop mantra. So later, Sun Wukong obediently listened to Tang Seng's words.

Her status in the Buddhist family is very high, for example, when the Jade Emperor saw Guanyin Bodhisattva, he had to greet her politely, and even the decision made by Guanyin Bodhisattva, he did not dare to object. Guanyin Bodhisattva is in front of the Buddha, and the Buddha has to refer to her opinion. That's why I think her first place in Buddhism is very powerful.
