Why didn t Zhu Bajie become a Buddha after successfully learning the scriptures?

Because after Zhu Bajie successfully learned the scriptures, his roots have not been completely cut off. So I didn't become a Buddha on the ground.

The story of Journey to the West, the characters, and the way of doing things are also a reflection of the real society.

The messenger of the pure altar is a bodhisattva, and the Buddha and Bodhisattva have boundless power, formless and bodyless, and can be transformed into any form.

Because the punishment at that time was that Zhu Bajie was degraded to the mortal world, suffering from the reincarnation of ten things, and learning from the scriptures was only a lifetime of tribulation, and his calamity was not over.

The main reason is that Marshal Tianpeng was demoted to the lower realm, but he accidentally cast the wrong fetus, and he was cast into a pig fetus, even if he took the true scriptures, restoring the true body was only to restore the state of the pig.

I think this is mainly because the eight precepts have not been sitting, so the form has not changed, and secondly, since Zhu Bajie has become a Buddha, there must not be too much pursuit of appearance, because after all, appearance is something outside the body, since it is no longer pursued, it doesn't matter whether it is a human body or a pigThe image of Zhu Bajie is a virtual image set by Wu Chengen, he has its own characteristics, and if it is restored to a human body, it will lose the meaning of the character itself.

When other immortals become Buddhas, their forms will undergo some changes, this is because they have all gone through sitting, but the eight precepts are not because of this, the eight precepts are because of the completion of the function after going to the west to learn the scriptures, so that they can become BuddhasBut some people may say that even if he has not been sitting, but Zhu Bajie will change in thirty-six days, and he can transform into any of his ideals as he wants, not to mention that after becoming a Buddha, Zhu Bajie's magical powers will become bigger, and it is simply too easy for him to transform into a human body, I have to say that this is indeed the case.

But now that Zhu Bajie has become a Buddha, all desires have disappeared, and the Buddha himself is desireless and desireless, so it doesn't matter what kind of image it isIn the past, Zhu Bajie was lazy, greedy for money and lustful, and transformed into a human body to attract the girl he liked, or to eat and drink, but after he became a Buddha, all these desires were gone, so naturally there was no need to transform again.

The above is the reason why I personally think that Zhu Bajie, who became a Buddha after learning scriptures, is still like a pig, but I think this is a very distinctive character in Wu Chengen's pen, and each character in Wu Chengen's pen has its own characteristicsNopeThe same face represents different minds, and they all have a certain meaning, both before and after becoming a Buddha.

Because he was finally named the messenger of the Pure Altar, the level is not as high as Tang Seng and Sun Wukong, and he still can't recover his original form.

Bajie is because he violated the rules of heaven, and then reincarnated into the wrong pig's fetus, so he should be a pig himself, so even if he succeeds in learning the scriptures, it will not change his appearance.
