Please elaborate on what Journey to the West says from a religious perspective

Let me explain from a religious point of view, in fact, Journey to the West was not written by Buddhists, and it corresponds to the list of gods. Similarly, the list of gods was not written by Taoists. To understand it the other way around, Journey to the West was written by Taoism, and the list of gods was written by Buddhism.

It means that the practice of Buddhism must suffer countless calamities in order to achieve the perfection of merit, and the cultivation of Taoism must also have calamities. The respective dispositions of the three disciples represent the three poisons in Buddhism: greed, hatred, and ignorance.

Greed refers to the mental activity that is dyed in the realm of the five desires such as color, sound, fragrance, taste, and touch. Anger is also known as anger, anger, etc., referring to hatred, resentment and damage to the psychology of others, referring to Sun Wukong. Ignorance and ignorance.

Refers to the dark nature of the heart, ignorance refers to the sand monk.

According to the ancient version of the ** commentary, this book is actually for the purpose of cultivating the mind, and the main idea is actually the unity of Confucianism and Taoism, and the Buddhist characters and backgrounds are borrowed, so the so-called fighting over the Buddha and other names are both copied and made up.

Take a closer look at the table of contents of each chapter, and you will know that it has a lot to do with the Taoist Nine Turns of the Golden Pill's internal strength and mental method, and then look at the poems in each chapter, all of which are the five elements, yin and yang, gossip and other content, and there is nothing in it. Some Buddhist terms such as the six roots and the five aggregates are also used to illustrate the "nature of the mind."

I forget who commented on the most popular in the Qing Dynasty, and his central idea is that this ** is in line with the way of the university: the way of the university, in Mingmingde, in the people, in the perfection. Then the chapters are about how to do it with the combination of Confucianism and Taoism

Knowing and then there is certainty, and then there is stability, and then it can be quiet, and then it can be peaceful, and then it can be considered, and then it can be obtained. Things have a beginning and an end, and knowing the order is the shortest way. That is, to emphasize what is the supreme good.

How to embody it: the character of the object and then the knowing, the knowledge and then the sincerity, the sincerity and then the heart, the heart and then the body, the body and then the family, the family and then the country, the country and then the world is peaceful.

And Sun Monkey's earliest wildness represents the unsettled heart, and then he was subdued, which means that he has achieved sincerity and righteousness, so he assisted Tang Sanzang to learn scriptures, which is self-cultivation. In the end, the positive result is that the world is flat.

In short, it is about how to achieve peace of mind through various means, and how to generate wisdom from concentration.

There is also a book review that believes that this book mainly refers to how to cultivate the inner pill. Some people once thought that reading "Journey to the West" could help you learn how to cultivate special functions.

There seems to be very little commentary on Buddhism, and it is not very popular.

I see it this way, Tang Seng represents the Buddha nature of people and people, and the three apprentices represent greed and hatred, and the way to learn the scriptures is the process of Tang Seng persistently pursuing the Dharma to train and subdue greed and hatred, and finally seek the Dharma to subdue greed and hatred, and finally achieve positive results.

The whole Journey to the West is actually about "human beings".

The gods represent external causes, and the spirit of Tang Seng is "what kind of spirit?" Are you saying that he sought the truth and was determined to be a Buddha despite difficulties? This kind of spirit can be obtained by anyone, it's just whether you want to get it or not!

Sun Wukong represents a playful and aggressive character, Zhu Bajie represents a lazy and lazy character, and a sand monk represents a person's duty and honest character!

Journey to the West is a Diamond Sutra.

The Bodhi Patriarch is Su Bodhi, and Sun Wukong is the heart of Su Bo asking "how to subdue his heart".

Ah, let's make one.

Journey to the West is about "putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the ground".

The fairy world illustrates that "people and gods are the same".

The spirit of Tang Seng is "available from Journey to the West".

Bajie, Wukong, and Sha Seng are representatives of "greed, hatred, and ignorance". Journey to the West is about correcting the principle of greed, hatred, and ignorance and then becoming a Buddha.

"Journey to the West" embodies the true idea of the unity of the three religions.

Journey to the West is not a religious material, it is **, it was written by Wu Chengen, how to explain it with religion? It should represent Wu Chengen's thoughts, or use this myth and legend to comment on the dissatisfaction with the Ming Dynasty at that time, but it has nothing to do with faith

The real Xuanzang.

The enlightenment brought to us by "Journey to the West" is:

"Journey to the West" is a classic in Chinese history, and its ideological connotation has been passed by countless people. After "Journey to the West" was put on the screen, it was even more liked by the audience. And don't investigate what the ideological connotation of "Journey to the West" is.

Because everyone stands from a different perspective, there will be different perspectives on the problem. As an ordinary person, you should get some useful life inspiration from each character in "Journey to the West".

1. Learn the persistence of Tang monks.

First of all, we must learn from Tang Seng's firm belief, like him, he has to go to the west to retrieve the "true scriptures", and he will not give up until he reaches the goal, and he will not give up after experiencing all difficulties.

2. Know how to "Wukong".

Only by constantly "Wukong" can we gain insight into the essence of things. Emptiness leads to pass, and general rule is spiritual. The so-called spirit is infinitely changing, because of Sun Wukong.

constantly "Wukong", so there will be seventy-two changes, the most powerful in Journey to the West.

3. Strive to achieve the "eight precepts".

If you want to achieve positive results, you must do something, do something, and know how to restrain yourself. For an enterprise worker, it is necessary to achieve the "eight precepts": abstain from bullying, abstain from greed, guard against arrogance, abstain from dryness, quit laziness, abstain from independence, abstain from coarseness, and abstain from fullness.

4. Learn the "stupidity" of the sand monk

He works hard every day, endures humiliation every day, is down-to-earth every day, does his job "stupidly" every day, sincerely adjusts the contradictions between colleagues, and accomplishes his goals together. In Journey to the West, the Sand Monk has few languages, but the Sand Monk is the lubricant of the team. Without the "stupid" spirit of Sha Seng, there will be no team harmony.

5. Learn the little white dragon.

The spirit of service.

Everyone is serving others and enjoying the services of others. In "Journey to the West", Xiao Bailong is very service-oriented. He is always unknown, but he is down-to-earth and willing to serve Tang Seng, and accompanies Tang Seng all the way to the west to learn scriptures.

Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and it is very appropriate to use it on the little white dragon.

Buddhism is a religion with the Buddha at its core, emphasizing the idea of "selflessness", that is, people should get rid of materialism and self-centeredness, and instead focus their attention on the pursuit of truth. In "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong also embodies this kind of thinking, he was able to remain calm and composed after going through many difficulties, and finally got out of the predicament. Taoism is a religion with Taoism at its core, emphasizing the idea of "the unity of heaven and man", that is, people should integrate themselves with nature and respect the power of nature.

In "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong also embodies this thinking, and he is still able to maintain his respect and gratitude for nature despite many difficulties. Confucianism is a religion with Confucius at its core, emphasizing the idea of "benevolence and righteousness", that is, people should follow justice, respect ethics, show goodwill, respect the elderly, respect women, etc. In "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong also embodies this thinking, and he is still able to maintain a sense of justice, courage and respect for ethics despite many difficulties.

In conclusion, "Journey to the West" promotes the idea of the unity of three religions: Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism can all help people understand the commonalities between different religions and promote harmony between religions.

Journey to the West is actually a ** about cultivation

Heart Ape: Monkey King.

Yima: Tang Sanzang.

That is, the heart ape will be the horse also.

Jin Gong: Monk Sha.

Wood Mother: Zhu Bajie.

Jin Gong: Serve Zhongyang.

Wood Mother: Yin There is a poem as evidence: "At that time: the imaginary apes were all lost, and the golden male and wooden mothers withered." Huang Po's injuries and losses are separated, how can moral dissipation be achieved! ”

There is a poem as a testimony to the late, the poem says: One is really like turning into dust, and the four phases of harmony are restored. The five elements are empty and lonely, and there is always no room for a hundred strange names. Zhengguo Zhan Tan took refuge in the great awakening, and completed the quality and sank down.

The whole book is written around this.

The ape has a fake human heart, and the heart is the deep meaning of the ape. The Great Sage Lao Zishan Qitian is not a hypothesis, how can the official seal Bi Ma know the sound?

The horse ape cooperates with his heart and mind, and he is tightly bound and tethered. All phases return to the truth, such as the same contract to live in Shuanglin.

The ape ripe horse tame sheds its shell.

Success is full of truth.

Ninety-nine counts all the demons.

Three or three lines are full of ways to return to the roots.

I originally wanted to sort out and analyze the entire original work in detail, but I couldn't make it because of the tight schedule!

Finally, I would like to say that Journey to the West has nothing to do with feudal society and socialism!!

And also. The poems excerpted above are all poems from the original book, not made up by later generations.
