    1. They are the leaders of the two religions.

    2. The practical meaning of the truth is: to attain enlightenment by the path of truthfulness. "Such as" in the Buddhist scriptures is called the true truth, that is, the absolute truth, such as lai, means that the Buddha is a sage who has mastered the absolute truth and came to the world to speak the Dharma in order to benefit all sentient beings.

    For example, calling Shakyamuni Buddha or Shakyamuni Nyorai is the same. But it would be a mistake to call Shakyamuni the Buddha. Because the name of the Buddha and the Buddha is the common name of all Buddhas, it does not mean that it is a certain Buddha, just as calling a person is not a person.

    There are ten titles of Buddha, and "Nyolai" is one of them.

    3. The full name of the Jade Emperor is Haotian Jinque Supreme Supreme Natural Mi Luo to the True Jade Emperor God, also known as "Jade Emperor Forgiveness Tianzun", "Haotian Tongming Palace Jade Emperor", "Xuanqiong High Jade Emperor", living in Yuqing Palace. The Jade Emperor is the most of the gods in the Han folk beliefs, so the ritual of worshipping Tiangong also surpasses the Sanqing Tianzun, which is more grand than the ordinary gods. In addition, the Jade Emperor is a Taoist deity, not the "Emperor Shakti" in Buddhism.

    The relationship between the Jade Emperor and the Buddha can be interpreted from different perspectives.

    From a personal point of view, the Jade Emperor is one of the supreme deities of Taoism, while the Buddha is the supreme leader of Buddhism. In "Journey to the West", the Jade Emperor is the emperor, and Rulai is the prince, so it can be understood that the Jade Emperor is the top boss of the Buddha. In addition, there are also differences between the Jade Emperor and Rulai in terms of religious beliefs and military power.

    From another point of view, the entire Journey to the West can be seen as a group company, Sanqing is the founder, belongs to the board of directors, and is no longer concerned about the world, and iQue is too empty; Jade Emperor is the CEO and is responsible for managing the entire company; As the Buddha is the head of the Xitian Branch, one of the five branches of the group company, the current limelight is no different, and the business has even extended to the group headquarters.

    In short, the relationship between the Jade Emperor and the Buddha has many interpretations in "Journey to the West".

    The issue is complex and can only be described in general terms.

    In principle, the Jade Emperor is a Taoist god and the Buddha is a Buddhist god, and the two systems cannot be cross-compared.

    In terms of status, the Jade Emperor is the supreme ruler of realpolitik, and the Buddha is the advisor with the highest honorary status.

    In terms of characteristics, the Jade Emperor is the first in virtue, and the Buddha is the first in mana.

    recommends a popular book, Li Tianfei's "Impossible".

    If you want to know more about it, you have to read a book with a stronger academic nature, Chen Yinke talks about the origin of Journey to the West, Lu Xun's ** history, and Hu Shi's research.

    The relationship between the Jade Emperor and the Buddha in "Journey to the West" is: the emperor and the princes.

    Rulai is the supreme leader of Buddhism in Journey to the West, and the Jade Emperor is Taoist, to put it bluntly, the religious beliefs of the two are different, and Buddhism has a certain power in Journey to the West, to put it bluntly, Rulai has its own power! If you have your own warlords and beliefs, you have the obligation to rescue if something happens to Heavenly Court, and Heavenly Court can intervene in trivial matters on your own territory, such as rain, if so, there is only one explanation to explain the relationship between the Jade Emperor and Rulai, that is, the relationship between the Son of Heaven and the vassal states!

    Because only the princes can have their own military power, they can come to the rescue when the Son of Heaven is in danger, and the Son of Heaven can intervene in the small matters on their own territory, which is why Rulai calls the Jade Emperor the Great Heavenly Venerable!

    Journey to the West "Immortal Structure System:

    In the Journey to the West, the Jade Emperor is not only the immortal of Taoism, but also the boss of the Three Realms, and the three Qings of Taoism, namely Yuan Shi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, and Daode Tianzun (Taishang Laojun), are just old advisors, and they also have to accept the leadership of the Jade Emperor. As for Buddhism, in the Lingshan of the West Niuhe Continent in the earthly realm, if he is only the boss of the Lingshan, he is equivalent to the king of the vassal states, and he must also accept the leadership of the heavenly court. This is also the reason why Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and the Jade Emperor issued a holy decree, and he rushed over immediately.

    Therefore, in the eyes of the Jade Emperor, whether it is Taishang Laojun or Rulai, they are the leaders of the two departments under him. Of course, he has to support what his subordinates do.
