The golden cicada in Journey to the West , what did he do to be demoted to the mortal world?

I have the impression that he fell asleep while preaching Buddhism, and his understanding was very high, so he was very angry.

It is said that when the Buddha was preaching, he was dozing off and did not listen carefully, so he went down to earth, in fact, this is only a superficial factor, and the most fundamental reason is that he went to the west to learn the scriptures.

"Journey to the West" Jin Chanzi was relegated to the lower realm by the Buddha because of his contempt for Buddhism, and under the guidance of Guanyin Bodhisattva, he was given the intention of Tang Tai and went to the west to seek the true scriptures.

On the way, he received three apprentices, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing, experienced eighty-one difficulties, and finally returned to the Tang Dynasty with the true scriptures, and achieved positive results, and was named "Zhantan Meritorious Buddha" by the Buddha.

01, the Buddha does not want to live in Lingshan, he wants to spread Buddhism to the Tang Dynasty, everyone who has seen Journey to the West knows that the scriptures learned from the West were not taken by the monks of the Tang Dynasty, but that the Buddha wanted to preach in the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty was originally the territory of Taishang Laojun, and it was difficult for the Buddha to directly preach if he came to preachIn line with the principle of "it is better to let customers beg you than to take the initiative to sell", the Buddha assigned Guanyin Bodhisattva to complete this missionary task.

So, Guanyin Bodhisattva came to the Tang Dynasty and laid out a careful plan, prompting Tang Taizong Li Shimin to send people to learn scriptures to eliminate the sins he had committed before, so that the Buddha had a legitimate reason to spread Buddhism.

02, the reincarnation of the first 9 lives of the golden cicada was unprotected, and they were all eaten by the sand monk and then returned to the golden cicada, and the reason why he was demoted to the mortal world by the Buddha is also very ridiculous, just because he didn't listen carefully in class, he was punished for 10 lifetimes of penance. As the second apprentice of the Buddha, even if he was demoted to the mortal world, he still maintained Yuanyang's unreleased body, and it is very likely that he has been a monk for 10 lifetimes.

The first 9 lives of the golden cicada passed through the quicksand river, and then was eaten by the sand monk who was entrenched in this place and punished, because the golden cicada belonged to the high monks, his skull could float on the quicksand river with weak water attributesMonk Sha looked strange and collected all the skulls of the 9th world, strung into a string, hung around the neck as a necklace.

03, the 10th Jin Chanzi was reincarnated as a Tang monk, successfully obtained the true scriptures, and let the Buddhas have better treatment After the 10th Jin Chanzi became a Tang monk, he was designated by Guanyin Bodhisattva as the leader of the Western Heaven Sutra, and then successfully completed the task with 3 apprentices. After Tang Seng arrived in the West Heaven, the Buddha pointed out the identity of Tang Seng and made him a Buddha. At the same time,The purple gold bowl brought by Tang Seng also became a certificate for Tang King Li Shimin, with this certificate, Buddhism could go to the Tang Dynasty in exchange for more financial and missionary qualifications.

Therefore, from the origin of the golden cicada, and then from the Tang monks, the master and apprentice did not make any big mistakes, and were relegated to the mortal world, and experienced nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, just to seek the true scriptures. It can be seen that this is a selection of elites who have gone to accomplish the great task of spreading the Dharma. In the end, the golden cicada obtained the true scriptures and was able to reshape the golden body.

This golden cicada is actually a very powerful Buddha, but he made some mistakes before he was reincarnated as a Tang monk.

The depreciation of the golden cicada is the first difficulty.

The depreciation of the golden cicada is the first difficulty, and in "Journey to the West", Tang Seng has experienced nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties in learning scriptures. In fact, the setting of eight to eleven difficulties is not strict. Sometimes, the author divides a difficult one.

The second and third are difficult to count, such as "the yellow wind is strange and obstructive", and the "request for Lingji" dilemma is actually two stages of a story.

Sometimes, it is not Tang Seng himself who suffers directly, such as "the heart ape is harmed", it is only Sun Wukong who suffers, and some such as "dispelling the Tao and rejuvenating the monk" are not even more difficult to learn from the scriptures.

Tang Sanzang was reincarnated by the true spirit of the golden cicada into a Tang monk in the eastern soil, which means "the golden cicada sheds its shell", so people take the cicada transformed into a symbol of immortality and regeneration, so in "Journey to the West" there is also a saying that eating "Tang monk meat" can live forever.

Journey to the West Twelfth Jujube Mu Return: When there is a Bodhisattva and the pure rock of the Wooden Fork Road: "Today is the water and land meeting, and it will be carried out with 17 following 77."

I mingled with you in the crowd, one to see what he would be, the second to see that the golden cicada could be blessed to wear my treasure, and the third to listen to him talk about which sutra.

Because the Buddha taught the sutras in the Buddha.

At that time, everyone listened carefully, only the golden cicada looked left and right, dozing off from time to time, the Buddha thought that he was disrespectful to the Buddha, too arrogant, and in a rage, he was demoted to the mortal world.

In the original words of Rulai in Journey to the West, it is "You don't listen to the Dharma, and despise my great teaching", which is considered to be disrespecting the Dharma and shaking your mind. To be honest, such a punishment is really a bit severe.

However, it was also a blessing in disguise, Jin Chanzi entered the mortal world and was reincarnated as a Tang monk, and went through nine hundred and eighty-one difficult scriptures to spread Mahayana Buddhism, carry forward Buddhism, and finally sealed the meritorious Buddha, did not go through all kinds of tribulations, and would not become a Buddha so quickly.

Tang Seng, the reincarnation of the golden cicada, who is the golden cicada? The second disciple of the Buddha.

From the mouth of the Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha himself, he said:

Holy monk, in your previous life, you were originally my second disciple, and your name was called the Golden Cicada. Because you don't hear the Fa, you despise my great teachings, so you degrade your true spirit and reincarnate in the eastern land.

After Tang Seng learned the scriptures, he was named the Buddha of Zhantan Merit.

You can't see this plot in Journey to the West, you can find the answer in "Monkey King", Tang Seng dozed off when he was talking about the Dharma, arrived late, and slacked off Buddhism. "Monkey King" seems to be a spoof TV series, but in fact, many of the plots in it are from the original book!!

Why was the golden cicada relegated to the mortal world? Dozing off was just an excuse to see what happened in Lingshan the night before.

Mainly because he did something bad for Rulai, and then he was demoted to the mortal world, which is indeed a particularly bad thing, so I also hope that he can return to the right path, and he will be demoted to the mortal.

As the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves. The golden cicada with such a high status in his previous life was transformed into the world, it is very likely that he made a mistake in his previous life, and he came to belittle him to give him a little punishment and a lesson.

Tang Seng made some mistakes in Rulai, and was demoted to the mortal world to be an ordinary person, met Sun Wukong halfway and rescued him, and then met Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng, and then the four masters and apprentices began a long journey to learn scriptures in the west.

Tang Seng was also demoted because he made a mistake, so there will be a later ups and downs of the storyline to train Tang Seng to obtain the true scriptures, just like not everything, only through the wind and rain will see the rainbow.

It must be because he made a mistake, as if he offended the Buddha by despising the Dharma, and the gods are generally not demoted unless they make a mistake, just like Marshal Tianpeng was also degraded because he made a mistake.

Since then.

The power of Bai Taoism in all aspects is very large, and it cannot tolerate the emergence of Zhi Buddhism at all.

In order to break through this situation, DAO can only break it if the high-ranking members of Buddhism come out, and Jin Chanzi plays this role, so there is a later test in the West, which is the process of preaching Buddhism all the way. It is also the process of Buddhism all the way to expand the power of all aspects, because it is the golden cicada to learn the scriptures below, all the forces dare not be too arrogant, plus the contradiction between the Jade Emperor and the Taishang Laojun, Buddhism took this opportunity to develop and grow.

Sleep in class. I don't listen to the Buddha's teachings well.

In the hundredth chapter of "Journey to the West", Sakyamuni Buddha himself said: Holy monk, you were originally my second disciple in your previous life, and your name was Golden Cicada. Because you don't hear the Fa, you despise my great teachings, so you degrade your true spirit and reincarnate in the eastern land.
