What are the four realms of life in Journey to the West

Tang Sanzang ! Leadership class Goku ! Famous class (celebrities, etc.) Bajie ! Civilians (the pursuit of food, drink, and money).

Sand monk! Honest class (leaders and stars, civilian subordinates, that is, part-time workers).

Bajie pursues freedomDon hates to pursue his dreams.!Goku pursues commitments...Shajing pursues the ordinary

"Journey to the West" can be ranked as one of the four classical Chinese masterpieces, and it is by no means a simple and lively mythological story, but carries more profound meaning. Wukong has grown step by step from an uneducated natural stone monkey to an enlightened and righteous Buddha. Tang Sheng's persistence, Bajie's casualness, Sha Seng's hard work, Bailongma's thoughts, and the portrayal of different characters are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

After a long eighty-one difficulties, the true scriptures that were retrieved fell into the water and were mutilated! Wukong saw that the master was sad and persuaded him: "Heaven and earth are not perfect."

Tang Seng suddenly felt enlightened. There are always defects in everything in the world, we must be tolerant and not too harsh, in order to be happier!

In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong represents the "heart ape", the white dragon horse represents the "Yi Ma", Zhu Bajie is called "Desire Pig", and the Sha monk is called "Love Demon". And Tang Seng represents mindfulness, which is what we often call faith. With the belief of positive energy of correct awareness and awareness, the mind will become positive energy, which can ensure our success in learning from experience.

But if there is no mindfulness and positive energy, the heart ape will be a pig and a demon is negative energy, which will ruin a person's career and life.

Therefore, the progress of life is not to eliminate the mind and mind, but to strengthen righteous knowledge and righteous thoughts. If righteous knowledge and mindfulness are strengthened, the mind will become the motivation to talk about hunger, but if the will is weak, the mind will be an obstacle. These are the metaphors and hints that Wu Chengen wants to express.

The realm of life", the essence of the four realms refers to: the natural realm, the utilitarian realm, the moral realm, and the realm of heaven and earth.

1. The natural realm.

A person does things just according to his instincts or his social customs, and what he does is unaware or unincomrutable, and this matter has no or little meaning to him, and the state of life that this person has reached, that is, the natural state.

2. Utilitarian realm.

A person may be aware of himself and do all sorts of things for himself. This does not mean that he is necessarily an immoral person. The consequences of what they do can be beneficial to others, and the motive is self-interest, which has utilitarian significance for themselves. This state of life is the realm of utilitarianism.

3. Moral realm.

A person may understand the existence of society and become a member of it, have this awareness and do all kinds of things for the benefit of society, that is, for the sake of "righteousness and not profit". He is a truly moral person, and what he does is in line with strict moral behavior and has moral significance. This state of life is the moral realm.

4. The realm of heaven and earth.

A person is not only a member of society, but also a member of the universe. He was a citizen of the social organization, and at the same time what Mencius called a "heavenly citizen." With this understanding, he does all sorts of things for the good of the universe.

He understands the meaning of what he does and consciously does what he is doing. This realization constituted the highest state of life for him. This state of life is the realm of heaven and earth.

The four realms of life refer to: the natural realm, the utilitarian realm, the moral realm, and the realm of heaven and earth. The four realms of life, which are based on the classics of the Spring and Autumn Period and the philosophies of the sages of the past dynasties, are actually the four stages of a perfect life.

1.The natural realm: If a person is just doing things according to instinct or customs, but he is not aware of it, or he is not aware of it. What is done has no meaning, or little meaning.

2.Utilitarian realm: Man is aware of himself and does all kinds of things for himself. This does not mean that he is necessarily an immoral person. It is possible to do something that has the consequences of benefiting others and the motive of self-interest. Therefore, all kinds of things that are done have utilitarian significance.

3.Moral realm: Man understands the existence of society, he is a member of society.

This society is a whole, a part of this whole. With this understanding, he does all kinds of things for the benefit of society, or as Confucianism says, he does things for the sake of "righteousness and not profit." A truly moral person does moral behavior that conforms to a strict moral sense.

Everything that is done has a moral meaning. The moral realm has moral values.

4.Heaven and Earth Realm (Philosophical Realm): Man understands that beyond the whole of society, there is a larger whole, the universe.

Not only a member of society, but also a member of the universe. He is a citizen of the social organization, and at the same time he is also the "citizen of heaven" as Mencius said. With this understanding, we do all kinds of things for the benefit of the universe.

Understand the meaning of what he is doing, and consciously do what he does. The realm of heaven and earth has supermoral values.

Dedicated to the Buddha, persevering, kind-hearted, compassionate, and fearless in the face of evil, let the world understand that suffering comes sweetly.

Connections are greater than ability, and those in high positions will always be able to move their mouths.

We must learn from their five mentors and apprentices and do not flinch in the face of difficulties.

Backstage hard is very important, there will always be all kinds of difficulties waiting for you in your life, and you will not succeed if you don't experience nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties.

1. "Journey to the West", as a classical "popular" masterpiece, contains a lot of life principles.

Second, judging from the whole story, life must go through many difficulties, tribulations, and setbacks in order to really have pressure, motivation, and go further, such as going through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, such as Wukong being pressed for 500 years, and then becoming a positive result.

3. The story tells us to give life and education a chance, for example, some children are not satisfactory in the early stage of growth, but they may have something to do when they grow up, just like Wukong and Bailongma, they all made mistakes in the early days, but these mistakes are also the wealth of life, and we should have this spirit of tolerance when dealing with life and mistakes.

Fourth, life must adhere to and have faith, just like Tang Seng, in terms of ability, he is not suitable to learn from the scriptures, but he especially adheres to his beliefs, which affects the apprentices who follow him, and finally succeeds.

Fifth, everyone combined with their own experience, will get the life truth they want from these classics.

The natural realm, the utilitarian realm, the moral realm, the heaven and earth realm. A person may simply follow his instincts or the customs of his society. Like a child and a primitive man, he does what he does without understanding, or not at all.

In this way, what he does has no meaning or very little meaning to him. His state of life is what I call the natural realm. A person may be aware of himself and do all sorts of things for himself.

This does not mean that he is necessarily an immoral person. He can do things that have consequences that benefit others and are motivated by self-interest. Therefore, all kinds of things he does have utilitarian significance for him.

The state of his life. This is what I call the utilitarian realm. There are also people who may understand the existence of society and are a member of society.

This society is a whole, and he is a part of this whole. With this understanding, he does all kinds of things for the benefit of society, or as Confucianism says, he does things for the sake of "righteousness and not profit." He is truly a moral person, and all he does is moral behavior that conforms to a strict moral sense.

Everything he did had a moral meaning. So his state of life is what I call the moral realm. Finally, one may learn that there is a larger whole beyond the whole of society, the universe.

He is not only a member of society, but also a member of the universe. He was a citizen of the social organization, and at the same time what Mencius called a "heavenly citizen." With this understanding, he does all sorts of things for the good of the universe.

He understands the meaning of what he is doing and realizes that he is doing what he does. This realization constitutes the highest state of life for him, which is what I call the realm of heaven and earth.
