Why is the Tao not as good as the Buddha in Journey to the West?

These are all messy, in fact, Journey to the West is a book that exalts the cultivation of Taoism and despises Buddhism and Taoism, and the connotation in it is not something that ordinary people can understand.

It is recommended that the landlord take a look at the password of Journey to the West.

Or the true interpretation of Journey to the West written by the Taoist priest Wu Yizi of the Qing Dynasty.

Maybe Wu Chengen believes in Buddhism?

It should be a side satire on the political situation at the time. The Tao has always been spontaneous, and the Buddha is, in a sense, a means of rulership.

Everyone knows that Tang Seng is a senior monk of the Tang Dynasty, and in that era, people believed in Buddhism, because the teachings of Buddhism not only satisfied the wishes of the rulers but also gave the people spiritual sustenance, so people believed in and respected the Bodhisattvas of Buddhism.

In addition, Tang monks learned scriptures and obtained Buddhist scriptures.

What you watch is a TV series, and there are still differences from the original book. The original work is basically the Ming Bian Tao and the Dark Bian Buddha, and there is no monk and Taoist priest who met along the way who is not ironic. In the original book, the monkey made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, but he failed to enter the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, "only hit the Tongming Palace, outside the Lingxiao Palace".

The Jade Emperor was "Xuan" Rulai Buddha came to subdue the monkey, not to invite him. The landlord will not have any doubts if he looks at the original book.

You still haven't understood Journey to the West, it has a very deep meaning. Let's check the online reviews of people.

The Buddha and Tao in "Journey to the West" may not obviously suppress the Tao, but they may not worship the Buddha either. The details are as follows:

1. In the era when Journey to the West was written, Buddhism was very popular, and the Tao in Wu Chengen's "Journey to the West" invisibly referred to the imperial court at that time, and Buddha was his expectation of a better society, and it also reflected his extreme dissatisfaction with the society at that time, and his indignation and disappointment with the imperial court.

Journey to the West pinned on the author's ideals, because Taoism in the Ming Dynasty was very dark, so the author deposited it in it and scolded Taoism.

2. In fact, "Journey to the West" has its own avenue and its own practice method from the standpoint of Buddha or Tao. It criticizes and discards the dross and shortcomings of the two companies, while at the same time praising the absorption of the best and the good. So there is a "Journey to the West", which tells the story of a monk learning scriptures, using the method of Taoist cultivation, practicing the principle of Confucianism entering the WTO, but it is his own unique avenue.

3. On the surface, the worship of Buddha and the suppression of the Tao is obvious, and it is a story of monks learning scriptures; However, Yang Dao and the Buddha hold the opposite view, believing that "Journey to the West" is a book that borrows scriptures and stories to promote Taoism, because the book describes a large number of Taoist methods of cultivating immortality.

4, "Journey to the West" itself is a god and monster**, most of the stories of gods and ghosts in China are based on Taoism, and Buddhism from India is mainly transmitted in China, and there are not many mythological stories. Many of the materials must also be based on Taoism, and alchemy and immortality are the eternal themes of Taoism, so the cultivation methods of Taoism are easy to be moved to.

5. The author only uses the Journey to the West story that has long been circulated among the people to complete a literary masterpiece, and he may not have much interest in Buddhism.

6. At the same time, in order to highlight the image of the incomparably tall and wise protagonist Sun Xingzhi, it is natural to choose a reference object for comparison, and this task as a negative foil unfortunately fell to Tang Xuanzang. And because of the author's downfall, it is understandable to step on Taoism by the way. "Journey to the West" is a literary masterpiece, which has no religious mission in itself, and vents out of the author's own inner dissatisfaction with the world, nothing more.

Lao Tzu turned Hu into a Buddha, ignited Confucius, Buddha or Confucian, all of them are saying that the Tao becomes a Buddha, that is, the cause and effect of reincarnation are all transformed by the Tao, the Bible in a word, there is a Tao in the beginning, the Tao and God are together, and the Tao is natural.

In order to belittle the imperial court, any bodhisattva, Buddha, immortal, as long as there is status, whether it is a boy or a mount, he can come out to make waves, and he is talking about things that will not happen if there is a backstage, and it has nothing to do with Buddhism.

Personally, I don't think there is too much belittling of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, but I use the story to praise and disparage the social phenomena at that time. In other words, Pu Songling Yu Liaozhai also borrowed the name of fox spirits and ghosts and gods, and talked about human social phenomena.

It should be coexisting and learning from each other's strengths.

Because Taoism talks about the cultivation of immortals, it is not helpful to rule, while Buddhism talks about not cultivating this life and the next life, and stressing forbearance, so it is conducive to building a harmonious society.

Because in the gods and demons of the Ming and Qing dynasties, such as coming and going, all represent the supreme supernatural power. When it comes to "Journey to the West", we all know that this ** is not only one of the four famous works of traditional literature in China; It is also an important part of the construction of China's classical mythological system. Journey to the West is still a "big IP" in the film and television drama industry;

However, the various phenomena in the book "Journey to the West" have been criticized by many people today. For example, Wu Chengen's Buddhism seems to be far stronger than Taoism; Taishang Laojun was pushed upside down by Sun Wukong, and if he came backhanded, he could kill Sun Wukong in seconds;

Even, the security guard who guards Guanyin Putuo Mountain is "twenty-four heavens". This is a black history of Taoism that is more serious than "turning Hu into Buddha", because the twentieth road in the twenty-four heavens is the Taoist Ziwei Emperor. Why, Journey to the West is deliberately so arranged, and even the "Four Emperors" can only show Guanyin the gate?

Because in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the leaders of Buddhism, such as Rulai, were originally representatives of "supreme force". As long as we have systematically read the gods and demons of the Ming and Qing dynasties, we can understand that since the beginning of the "Immortal Tongjian", Rulai has been firmly sitting on the "mana".

Among these **, the rulers of the Three Realms are, of course, the Jade Emperor without exception; And the person who can fight the most in the Three Realms is Rulai, who has repeatedly helped the Jade Emperor come out to clean up the mess. In books such as "Journey to the East", "Journey to the South", and "Western Journey", Heavenly Court has been repeatedly threatened by the author's protagonists;

Subsequently, those who stood up to resolve the contradictions were all like the same without exception. This was already a conventional "setting" at that time. Of course, "Journey to the West" also continues this;

However, what many people don't know is that in fact, "Journey to the West" is essentially a ** that promotes Inner Dan Studies. Therefore, those Taoist priests of Quanzhen Sect in history often preach that "Journey to the West" is the work of their Taoist sages;

That is to say, the so-called "black spots" that many people are eager to defend Taoism in Journey to the West are insignificant in the eyes of genuine Taoist priests.

did not write Buddhism more than Taoism, and Sun Wukong's first master was a Taoist person, just because Tang Seng was a Buddhist person, because the protagonist was Buddhism, and he wrote more Buddhism, and he did not write Taoism very badly.

Wu Chengen prefers Buddhism. Wu Chengen, the author of Journey to the West, admires Buddhism, and he integrates his views into **.

Journey to the West is mainly about Buddhism. The story of the four Tang monks learning scriptures is mainly the story of Buddhism, so Taoism is downplayed.

Promote the Buddha and suppress the Tao? Absolutely not, Old Man Wu did not forget to satirize Buddhism in the end.

It's true. Because in "Journey to the West", Buddhist ideas are promoted. In this article of Che Chi Guo. It is more obvious that the author's promotion of Buddha and suppression of Taoism is more obvious.

"Journey to the West" is a story about Tang monks learning scriptures, of course, there are many things to write about Buddha. If you write too much, it will become "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea".

It seems that in Journey to the West, Buddha is a mythical existence, and in **, Buddha is only a field, and there are many above him, so all kinds of movies, ** creators want to write whatever they want.

Because the Tang Dynasty was the Ge Xin Buddhist dynasty.
