As we all know, since Sun Wukong began to learn the scriptures, he has changed his past style and learned to bow his head and ask for people. For any difficult problem, he would ask the Heavenly God Buddha for help. Among them, Guanyin Bodhisattva was the person who asked Sun Wukong the most for help. Throughout journey to the West, Guanyin Bodhisattva helped Sun Wukong 8 times.
Sun Wukong and Guanyin
The reason why Sun Wukong repeatedly troubled Guanyin Bodhisattva was because he regarded her as a trusted elder and his own person. And it was also she who pulled herself into the team of scripture collection, Sun Wukong did not bother her, who bothered? However, after the difficulty of "true and false Monkey King", Sun Wukong no longer sought help from Guanyin. Why? Listen to shi jun to give everyone a slow talk.
The six-eared macaque replaced Sun Wukong
There are three theories about this phenomenon. One of the most popular is the replacement of Sun Wukong by the six-eared macaque. Many readers believe that in the Great Lei Yin Temple, it was not the six-eared macaque that was killed, but Sun Wukong. Because Sun Wukong's unrulyness has angered Rulai, Rulai decides to change to a more obedient monkey to complete the great cause of learning the scriptures. Anyway, there are only two people in heaven and earth who can distinguish between the true and false of Sun Wukong, and he does not dare to say it, he will not say, who is the real Goku, it is not his decision.
Tathagata
Since then, Sun Wukong has changed. The relationship with the master was harmonious, and the Tang monk no longer chanted the tightening mantra. The eight precepts of the pig are no longer "stupid", but become the "eight precepts". His temper has also become milder, and he will no longer shout and kill at will. Although when the six-eared macaque fought with Sun Wukong, Guanyin claimed that he could not see the true or false of the two monkeys. But clear-eyed people can see that Guanyin just doesn't want to cause trouble and contaminate this unnecessary cause and effect! If the six-eared macaque monkey instead of Sun Wukong went to Guanyin for help, it was difficult to guarantee that it would not show its filling one day, so it would no longer ask Guanyin for help.
Guan yin
Sun Wukong no longer needs Guanyin
In the second way, Sun Wukong's two hearts are one and no longer need guanyin's help. For example, in the Great Lei Yin Temple, it is claimed that Sun Wukong and the six-eared macaque are one of the four great spirit monkeys in the world, but some readers believe that the so-called "six-eared macaque" is actually Sun Wukong's inner demon. Otherwise, how could his skills be exactly the same as Sun Wukong's? The reason why Rulai said this was to save Sun Wukong's face. Can't you always tell the bodhisattvas and arhats in the full hall that Sun Wukong has always wanted to kill Tang Monk, right?
True and false Monkey King
The reason why Sun Wukong and Tang Monk have such a big contradiction is that the world view and living environment of the two are different. Sun Wukong was born in Huaguo Mountain, and he himself came from a goblin cultivation, living in a world where the weak and the strong eat the strong, and it was impossible to be kind to the enemy. However, the Tang monks prayed the Buddha from snacks, and they could not kill at all. Therefore, the contradiction between the master and the apprentice became more and more large, and they repeatedly drove Sun Wukong away.
When did Sun Wukong, who was a great saint of Qi Tian, suffer such grievances? Therefore, when there is resentment, negative emotions are illusioned into six-eared macaques. However, if he helped Sun Wukong get rid of his demons and repair his relationship with Tang Monk, Sun Wukong had no distractions and his strength was high, so naturally he no longer needed to find Guanyin to help. The title of this chapter of "Journey to the West" is also: "Two hearts disturb the great Qiankun, and it is difficult to cultivate the true silence of one body." Sun Wukong has two hearts and is a Buddha himself, so why should he ask for help from other Buddhas?
Guanyin's performance disappointed Sun Wukong
The third theory, Guanyin Bodhisattva's performance in the "true and false Monkey King" difficulty, made Sun Wukong slightly disappointed. When Sun Wukong could not prove that "I am what I am", the first immortal who came to mind was Guanyin Bodhisattva. It can be seen that Guanyin Bodhisattva has a high status in Sun Wukong's heart. But Guanyin Bodhisattva pushed Sun Wukong to the heavenly court and asked Sun Wukong to go to the heavenly court to ask for answers.
Sun Wukong and the Six Ears
Guanyin's performance made Sun Wukong aware of the fact that Guanyin was not omnipotent, and everything still depended on himself. Therefore, since the true and false Monkey King, he almost stopped bothering Guanyin. Which statement do you think is more reliable? Feel free to leave your opinion in the comments section!
