    Because of the immeasurable merits of her contributions, there is no more suitable position for her to give her points, so she will be given such a title.

    Why is Guanyin not a Buddha? Guanyin Bodhisattva is the return of the ancient Buddha, the number of the Dharma is clear, it is the cause of the fruition, the reverse of the Cihang, and the Bodhisattva body is transformed into boundless sentient beings.

    In addition, Manjushri is also the teacher of the Seven Buddhas, and he is also the return of the ancient Buddhas. The wild yard number dragon species is chaotic in the sky, and the number is happy to hide the Mani treasure and praise which Buddha accompanies it. It is also the cause of the fruition, driving the mercy voyage upside down, and the bodhisattva body is transformed into boundless sentient beings.

    This statement comes from the Lotus Sutra cause products. It is said that the Sun and Moon Lantern Buddha has seven sons, after the Sun and Moon Lantern Buddha passed away, these seven sons followed a Bodhisattva called Miaoguang to practice, this Miaoguang Bodhisattva is Manjushri Bodhisattva, under the teachings of Miaoguang Bodhisattva, these seven people have become Buddhas, so Manjushri Bodhisattva is the teacher of the seven Buddhas.

    1. Manjushri Bodhisattva is the representative of Prajna wisdom, often appears in the scriptures of the Prajna system, and is the head of the Huazang world with the Puxian Bodhisattva. Prajna wisdom is the teacher and mother of all Buddhas, and sentient beings cannot attain the Buddha's path without Prajna, and Buddhas cannot appear in the world without wisdom.

    2. Prajna wisdom is formless and untouchable, and the scriptures often describe Prajna as 'words and paths, and the mind and deeds are destroyed', which is difficult to express in words, so Manjushri is used as a representative to give ordinary people a metaphor of wisdom image, hoping to understand the importance of Prajna in Buddhism.

    Journey to the West is one of the four famous novels in my country, and it is also a famous long-form myth**. **Taking the Tang monks and apprentices to learn scriptures from the West as a clue, it has created a lot of vivid characters and ups and downs. Among them, the Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva are the most well-known Buddhist immortals in the book.

    In the book, Sun Wukong once said that Guanyin Bodhisattva is the teacher of the Seven Buddhas, can this show that Guanyin's seniority is high. The answer, of course, is no. Whether it is the status of the Buddha realm or the position of worship in the heavenly court, Guanyin is lower than the Buddha.

    In Journey to the West, the Buddha is the present Buddha, in charge of everything in Buddhism, and Guanyin Bodhisattva, as a Bodhisattva, is naturally governed by the Buddha. In the book, Guanyin was also assigned by Rulai to find someone to learn the scriptures, and planned a journey to the west along the way. In the position of the heavenly court, although Guanyin and Rulai belong to the five elders of the five directions, Rulai is the head of the five elders, and his status is higher than that of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

    In short, it is impossible for Guanyin Bodhisattva to have a higher rank or status than it was when he came. Let's take a look at the teacher of the Seven Buddhas mentioned by Sun Wukong, and where did it come from. In the book, after Tang Seng coaxed Sun Wukong to wear the mantra given by Guanyin, he really had a grudge against Guanyin in his heart.

    When he saw Guanyin, he teased Guanyin with words, saying that he was the teacher of the Seven Buddhas in vain, and used the method of tightening the mantra to harm him. It is also here that the saying of the teacher of the Seven Buddhas of Guanyin is mentioned.

    However, the statement of the Master of the Seven Buddhas here is not known to be an oolong incident written by the author of Journey to the West, intentionally or unintentionally. Because in Buddhism, the teacher of the Seven Buddhas is not Guanyin Bodhisattva, but someone else. In the Myoho-renge-kyo Sutra, Nyoho-renge-kyo tells in detail the story of Manjushri Bodhisattva's training of the seven princes, Chen Buddha, among whom the last prince to become a Buddha was Shakyamuni Buddha.

    And the true teacher of the Seven Buddhas is Manjushri.

    Therefore, Manjushri is the true teacher of the Seven Buddhas, and he is also the master of Shakyamuni Buddha, and his rank is higher than that of Nyorai. Later, Manjushri incarnated as a bodhisattva under the Nyorai throne and assisted the Buddha in managing the affairs of the Buddha realm.

    And in these materials, it is also said that the Yuan Shi Tianzun is the true god and Buddha, the infinite saints, and all the incorruptible Dharma bodies, and the ancestors are high and true, and they can only rely on the Yuan Shi Ancestor Zun to open up the new universe and those things that exist between heaven and earth can be entrusted with the true bodyAccording to these two points, although Guanyin Bodhisattva is not the master of the Seven Buddhas, her master belongs to the existence with the highest status in heaven and earth, and it is reasonable for Guanyin to rank first among the four great Bodhisattvas.

    Personally, I think Guanyin's is relatively high, in Buddhism, Guanyin Bodhisattva and Buddha are all to Pudu sentient beings, their status is the same, but the value of the show is different. Therefore, Buddhism says that all beings are equal, so the Bodhisattva and the Buddha are also equal.

    Manjushri is the teacher of the Seven Buddhas, Guanyin is the Buddha in the past, and Guanyin has a higher status in Buddhism, because Guanyin's strength is relatively strong, and its status at that time is also very high, second only to the Buddha.

    First of all, you have to make it clear that the teacher of the Seven Buddhas is Manjushri Bodhisattva, and Guanyin Bodhisattva is the ancient Buddha who has already become a Buddha in ancient times

    It may be that Guanyin admires Rulai's excellence, so he respects him very much in his heart, so he will be his subordinate.

    Guanyin is the teacher of the Seven BuddhasWhich seven Buddhas are you talking about?If you want to talk about the teachers of the seven Buddhas, there are too many, for example, a small Buddha, a village chief level, a Buddha who manages the lower class of ordinary people, at least a few hundred, is that a teacher of a hundred Buddhas?

    Isn't it? Therefore, the so-called teacher of the seven Buddhas means that because Guanyin is a bodhisattva, she knows the situation of time for the yin and yang harmony of the dharma body, so it is said that there is a saying that there are seven Buddha teachers! In fact, the source of energy is the most important!

    Everything is foreseen, and everything is not planned, and everything is wasted! That's the basic principle of accumulation!

    Because she is a compassionate Guanyin, she doesn't care about any status or fame and fortune, she just needs to hang the pot to help the world, which is what she expects the most.

    First, the origin of Buddhism, history shows that Buddhism originated from Hinduism after being introduced into our country for better development to steal the concept of Confucianism and Taoism, and then stole the mythological system of Taoism, a branch of Taoism, and established Sakyamuni as the Buddha of the Great Ri Rulai, and then imitated the Taoist system to fabricate its own mythological system, so Guanyin was given to Rulai as a subordinate. Second, it is the idea in our country's mythological system, the lord of the four heavens and four emperors in our country, the one who is in the west and sees the barren land in the west and is barbaric, so he turned Hoover into Buddhism after preaching in the West, and later it was similar to the plot of the Romance of the Gods to transform the Cihang Taoist and give the Buddha the name of Dazi Guanyin.

    This is normal, the teacher of the Seven Buddhas and the subordinates of the Buddha do not conflict.

    Because in Buddhism, the status of the Buddha is higher than that of the Bodhisattva, so after the four Tang monks and apprentices came back from the scriptures, the Buddha gave different degrees of rewards to the four masters and apprentices, and Sun Wukong was named "Fighting to Defeat the Buddha" His status will be higher than that of Guanyin Bodhisattva. <>

    When it comes to "Journey to the West", we are all very familiar with it, "Journey to the West" is one of the four famous novels in my country, and it is the childhood memory of generation after generation. Everyone likes to watch it very much, especially the Monkey King in it, not only has seventy-two changes, but also can somersault clouds can go 108,000 miles at once, which can be said to be an idol that everyone worshiped when we were children. <>

    And there is another indispensable character in "Journey to the West", that is, Guanyin Bodhisattva. Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng and Bailongma all had the help of Guanyin Bodhisattva to protect Tang Seng Xitian to learn scriptures. (Here we have to popularize first, in Buddhism there is a hierarchy, the first level is the Buddha, the next is the Bodhisattva, and finally the Arhat.)

    That is to say, in Buddhism, the Buddha is the highest fruit, so from this aspect, after Sun Wukong was named "Fighting to Defeat the Buddha", his status is indeed higher than that of Guanyin Bodhisattva. But we need to know the identity of Guanyin Bodhisattva, not only a Bodhisattva, he is also known as the teacher of the Seven Buddhas. In other words, the Bodhisattva is actually only lower than Sun Wukong in the fruit position.

    And his influence is far inferior to that of Sun Wukong. <>

    So why did the Buddha come back after the four Tang monks and apprentices came back from learning the scriptures, everyone rewarded them. For Guanyin Bodhisattva, a crucial figure, there is no further reward? The reason is that Guanyin Bodhisattva originally had a very high status in people's hearts, and if there was a further reward for Guanyin Bodhisattva, his status as a Buddha would be inferior to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

    So in fact, the Buddha did not reward Guanyin Bodhisattva for his own benefit, and perhaps he named Sun Wukong as "fighting to defeat the Buddha.""There is also a certain amount of selfishness.

    Although Guanyin is the teacher of the Seven Buddhas and has an advanced status, Sun Wukong is a sacred stone left by Nuwa to mend the sky, and he is the apprentice of Bodhi Ancestor, and he has experienced the test of learning scriptures from the West, so under so many factors, Sun Wukong's status of fighting over Buddha is higher than that of Bodhisattva.

    Because in Buddhism, the realm of the Buddha is higher than that of the Bodhisattva, but the Buddha name of Sun Wukong is just idle, although Sun Wukong became a Buddha, but he has no actual rights.

  21. Anonymous users2024-01-24

    Because Wukong himself is very talented, and he also has a lot of skills to reach the sky, and he also has a credit after he and Tang Seng learned scriptures in the west together. After becoming a Buddha, he also has a great reputation and status, which is a little higher than the status of a bodhisattva.

  22. Anonymous users2024-01-23

    Because after Sun Wukong became a Buddha, there was such a ranking in Lingshan as "Nan Wu Zhan Tan Merit Buddha." Nan Wudou defeated the Buddha. Nan no Guanyin Bodhisattva. There is no great trend to the Bodhisattva in the south. Nam no Manjushri. The Buddha is greater than the Bodhisattva, so the Monkey King will be higher than the Bodhisattva after becoming a Buddha.

  23. Anonymous users2024-01-22

    It's not like that, many of us think that the status of the Buddha is higher than that of the Bodhisattva, but in Buddhism, the status of the Buddha is actually on the same level as the Bodhisattva, and the status of Wukong is not higher than that of the Bodhisattva in the end.

    Buddhism does not have what is called a "status" in the world.

    Journey to the West is **, not Buddhism, don't talk about it.

    In Buddhism, Guanyin Bodhisattva has long been a Buddha, and it is called the Dharma Ming Rulai. Now it is compassion to retreat to the bodhisattva position for sentient beings.

    To go deeper, all bodhisattva names are general signs.
