In Journey to the West, why do the two Buddhas say that the wordless scripture is the true scripture

Because in Buddhism, the real Dharma can only be understood and not spoken, so the wordless scriptures are the true scriptures, and they very much hope that Tang Seng can understand the Buddhist scriptures on his own and achieve the supreme golden body.

This is because for the Zen world, they are prevalent, and Zen cannot be said to be wrong, in fact, this is the will of the true Dharma, which can only be understood and not spoken.

Because no matter how true the theory is, no matter how real the knowledge, in fact, the real actions we really do come from our hearts and do things according to our hearts.

Because the Buddha just wanted to teach the four Tang monks and apprentices a lesson, and didn't want them to come again to learn the scriptures for 108,000 miles.

The idea is different, if you think that the book is not important, it is important to have a good teacher, the opinion of the ancient Buddha is just the opposite, Buddhism pays attention to self-enlightenment, not the assistance of outsiders, so it intervenes.

The hidden mystery is: the Buddhist scriptures are so deep that many people can't understand them if you bring them back, so there's no need to bring them back, as long as you teach them by word and deed.

Regardless of the meaning of satirical reality, from the perspective of the story alone, there are two points:

1, Rulai did not pursue the request for personnel, but gave the four masters and apprentices an explanation, and everyone, including Sun Wukong, accepted this explanation and admitted the reasonableness of receiving money and passing on the scriptures;

2. Rulai did not pursue the behavior of Ka Ye and Ananda in passing on the wordless scriptures, and the second transmission of the scriptures still let them go, that is, they recognized the rationality of the wordless scriptures, and they did not give waste paper as generally believed, but these scriptures were not suitable.

There is no mystery, just to remind Tang Seng and his apprentices that what they got back was the wordless scriptures, and I wanted them to get back the true scriptures.

It is a true scripture, and what the Buddha wants to express is: although there is a wide range of languages and words in the world, there is no Zhifa dao to express the true Dharma completely, and those who can speak and write can only be a small part of the Dharma, and if they insist on practicing according to the language and words handed down, they will definitely deviate from the original Dharma. It's a pity that Tang Seng and his entourage were not sufficiently enlightened and did not experience the painstaking efforts of the Buddha.

Because in "Journey to the West", Tang Seng is destined to go through ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties. And the ancient Buddha sent people to stop it is one of the difficulties.

The ancient Buddha may be more disgusted with asking for personnel. So he sent for them to inform them of the fact that there was no scripture.

Only Tang Seng could understand the wordless heavenly book, but his strength alone was too limited, so the ancient Buddha sent someone to stop it.

According to "Journey to the West", it was because Tang Seng was in a difficult situation at that time, so he deliberately did this, so that Tang Seng could better understand the preciousness of the scriptures.
