    In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the heavens, even if he was caught and thrown into the Dan furnace, he was not treated in the end, after breaking the Dan furnace, he came out again to make a fuss, and even refined his fiery eyes, he turned the world upside down in the heavenly court, and the Jade Emperor had no choice but to ask someone to invite the Buddha, and in the book, it was written that after the Lord of the Buddha and Wukong won the bet, he pushed him out of the South Heavenly Gate, and then "gently" pressed it, this gentleness is very ingenious, and this gentleness is also relatively speaking.

    And since then, people have had this concept in their hearts, such as the Buddha is the most powerful person in the sky, most things can be solved with a touch of fingers, coupled with the strange shape of Rulai in the old version of Journey to the West, his image is also stereotyped. But many people have questions, what are those black "grapes" on the head? Why was there such a design when designing the character at that time?

    Many people think that this is the hair of Nyorai, and because the hair is curly, it has formed this shape. But if you want to say that it looks like this, then the Buddhas of the Western Heaven can't all have curly hair, right? If it's okay, it's not easy to curl your hair like this every day.

    And Zhu Guanglong, the actor who played Rulai back then, once explained this matter in a show.

    He said at the time, this thing is called the meat bun, which is the name of the wig they wore at that time, how did the name of the meat bun come about? According to legend, there is a saying in Buddhism that "32 phases, 80 kinds of good", and this bun is actually formed by assisting the bones and flesh on the head to bulge together, and this image represents the highest and deepest aspect of cultivation. But imagine that this flesh and bones are cultivated to the uplift is also a little terrifying, and it seems that the joke that people made up back then about the Buddha and God talking about the swollen head is also somewhat based.

    And the real name of the Buddha is Virujana Buddha, who was the prince of India Shakyamuni, and his practice journey back then was more difficult than the Westward scriptures in the Journey to the West, it can be said that the catastrophe in the Journey to the West was actually just a little bit he experienced back then, and perhaps it was precisely because the scripture study plan had begun at that time, if he sympathized with Wukong's next encounter, there would be the book that "gently" pressed him under the mountain.

    In Journey to the West, the flesh bun on the head of Rulai represents the cultivation, which is a manifestation of the profound practice of Buddhism.

    If the Buddha did not experience every suffering, he would complete his cultivation once, so a black grape would appear on his head, and so many times over the years, the final scene would be formed.

    I believe that many people have the shadow of Journey to the West in their memory, and now various film and television dramas with the theme of Journey to the West are emerging in an endless stream, and everyone must also have a great impression of the Buddha in the play. The Buddha is known for his boundless power, mysteriousness, and universal sentient beings. Although many people don't know how great the Buddha is and how great his ability is, the Buddha in various film and television works is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with his vast and generous image, especially the grape-like items on his head that resemble hair.

    I don't know if you're wondering if it's hair or something else.

    In fact, the "grapes" on the head of the Buddha are not hair, and the origin is not simple, it is said that the real name of these grape-like things is the meat bun, which is actually the bulge of the flesh and bones. But don't think it's a simple anatomy of the body. This kind of bulge of flesh and bones is not something that ordinary people can have, but a special physique that can only be obtained after a long period of cultivation in the Buddhist family and can be guided by masters.

    Just like some Buddhist monks who have attained the Tao will have relics in their bodies. You have to be a profound Buddhist monk, and you have to be a very deep monk. No wonder Brother Monkey can't beat him.

    Of course. With the Buddha's cultivation and qualifications, presumably these are all things that he accumulated over time and realized by himself. This must have been a long time, and this time must be incredible.

    It can be said that the cultivation and accumulation of the Buddha is incomparable to anyone in the Three Realms. Correspondingly, it must be the common growth and accumulation of mana and psychology. Therefore, the Buddha can sit in this seat and be qualified to purify sentient beings.

    In addition, these buns are the blessings of the Buddha, something that only the Buddha can have, representing mana and cultivation, as well as the Buddha's right to speak for sentient beings. On the other hand, Sun Wukong, although he has gained supreme power, his cultivation is still shallow, his life experience is not enough, and he does things according to likes and dislikes. He definitely can't replace Heavenly Court in managing the Three Realms at the moment.

    Of course, after the tempering of learning scriptures from the West, Tang monks and apprentices have grown a lot. Later, Tang Seng and his entourage were given the title by the Buddha, which was also a recognition of them. I believe that Sun Wukong, who was named the Holy Buddha of Fighting, will no longer have the idea of making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, but has truly become a Buddhist cultivator.

    In the summer of this year, the 86 version of "Journey to the West" has been replayed again, and it has reappeared in the public's sight again, think about this version of "Journey to the West" should be a classic memory for many of us, all the characters in this drama are textbook-like character building, and even the ending song "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is" is familiar to people**. The data shows that this version has created ratings and has been replayed more than 3,000 times. What kind of concept is this, from 1986 to 2018, with an interval of 32 years, an average of 100 times a year, what a terrifying rating.

    Speaking of the 86 version of the "Journey to the West" TV series, the reason why it is so highly sought after is that the charm of the original ** content, and secondly, after being adapted into a TV series, the performances of the main characters in the play, such as Tang Seng, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Monk, are witty and in-depth. It's just that I don't know if you have noticed it, the Buddhas in the play are all bald, even Tang Seng is no exception, but there are a lot of "black grapes" on his head, why is this?

    Some people say it's the hair of Nyorai, isn't it? From the work "Journey to the West", we can clearly see that the hair on Rulai's head is just coiled into a small curl the size of grapes. There is no doubt about this, and we can clearly see the traces of the hair coiling.

    It is said that this is verified by historical data, because Rulai was a prince of the Shakya tribe in ancient India, and he was of the Aryan race. The Aryan race is used to curling hair like this, so the "grapes" on Rulai's head in "Journey to the West" are curly hair. But does that have to be true?

    According to Mr. Zhu Longguang, the actor of the 86 version of "Journey to the West", said: At that time, they brought me a meat bun. And there is no mention of hair, which means that the top of Rulai's head is not necessarily hair.

    What is a bun? Then I went to learn more about the bun, and found that this bun is really not hair, but meat, because after it grows, it hovers on the top of the head, so it forms the shape we see. Some Buddhists explain it this way:

    The flesh bun is the noble aspect and the respect of the 32 phases of the Buddha.

    If this is really the case, then Rulai's shape is indeed more powerful than Sun Wukong, after all, Sun Wukong is just a stone monkey into a spirit, and Rulai is a natural noble appearance. Now that I think about it, when Sun Wukong fought the Buddha for the first time, he was not very afraid, but then he gradually became afraid, more like a beggar's fear when he saw the king.

    However, there is indeed no unified conclusion on the "grapes" on the top of the current Rulai, because some Buddha statues are carved into hair, and some are carved into protrusions.

    The bun is a symbol of dignity. His mana is all on the flesh bun, which is also the most unique symbol of the Buddha, and his hair is the most distinctive and representative symbol of power.

    If the one on the head is called a meat bun, that is, the flesh and bones are protruding and look like a bun, so it is called a meat bun. This is very representative, and only the higher the level of the Buddha can have it, and it is only available when the Buddha has cultivated to a higher level. Maybe it's for the show.

    It doesn't matter what the styling is, the important thing is that the plot is appealing.

In terms of magic, the Buddha is much more powerful than Guanyin Bodhisattva. When the Buddha surrendered Sun Wukong, he did not use any magic weapon, but used his own mana to make Sun Wukong unable to fly in the palm of his hand, and controlled Sun Wukong when he turned into the Five Elements Mountain, which lasted for a full 500 years. When the Buddha collected the Dapeng Essence, he also used his mana to release a light flame from his body, turning it into a piece of meat, and with a finger, he controlled the Dapeng Essence, making him unable to move. >>>More
