After the success of learning the scriptures, if you come to talk about meritorious deeds, you will first crown Tang Seng as the Buddha of Zhantan Merit, and Sun Wukong will defeat the Buddha in the fight. Seeing that the master and brother have all become Buddhas, Zhu Bajie is full of expectations that he can also become a Buddha.
However, when he was consecrated, Nyorai told him that he had been crowned a messenger of the altar of purification. The full name of the Pure Altar Messenger is the Pure Altar Messenger Bodhisattva, and it is also an out-and-out Bodhisattva title, and his status is actually not low at all.
But no matter how high the status of the Pure Altar Messenger is, after all, it is not a Buddha, Zhu Bajie was very dissatisfied, and couldn't help but ask Rulai: "Why do Master and Senior Brother all become Buddhas, but only let me be a Pure Altar Messenger?"
But Rulai told him that it was all for his good, "because your mouth is strong and your stomach is generous." Covering the four continents of the world, there are many people who worship our religion, and all the Buddha things, teaching the altar of Rujing, is a useful grade, how is it not good."
Some people believe that after Zhu Bajie was sealed as the messenger of the altar, he could enjoy delicious food, but he could only eat leftovers.
Whose leftovers to eat?
In the seventy-seventh chapter of the original work, Rulai dispatched three thousand gods and Buddhas to help Sun Wukong subdue the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge. The three demons of Lion Camel Ridge are the green lion spirit, the white elephant spirit and the golden-winged Dapeng eagle, all of which have high mana, especially the golden-winged Dapeng eagle, which is not only first-class in mana, but also extremely arrogant.
When the green lion spirit and the white elephant spirit were captured, instead of being afraid, he angrily asked Rulai: "Rulai, why did you use such a great mana to trap me?"
Rulai had no choice but to reassure: "You have many evil obstacles here, follow me, there will be benefits." ”
Unexpectedly, the golden-winged eagle shouted: "You are fasting and vegetarian there, and you are extremely poor and miserable; I eat human flesh here, and I will be of infinite use! If you starve me, you will be guilty." ”
Rulai had no choice but to promise: "I am in charge of the four continents, countless sentient beings look at me, and if I do good deeds, I will teach him to sacrifice to Rukou first." "Then cast a spell to subdue the Golden-winged Roc Eagle.
Since Rulai promised the golden-winged Dapeng eagle, "Whoever does good deeds, sacrifice to Rukou first", the golden-winged Dapeng eagle must be the first person in Lingshan to enjoy the sacrifice, so that Zhu Bajie can only eat the leftovers of the golden-winged Dapeng eagle.
As mentioned earlier, the Pure Altar Messenger is also a Bodhisattva title, which undoubtedly means that after Zhu Bajie was sealed as the Pure Altar Messenger, he became a high Bodhisattva, so does Zhu Bajie, who is a Bodhisattva, really want to eat the leftovers of the Golden-winged Dapeng Eagle?
Some people believe that although Zhu Bajie is a bodhisattva, the golden-winged Dapeng eagle has a higher status than him, and his sister Peacock was once revered as the mother of the Buddha by Rulai, and he is the goduncle of Rulai. Therefore, in terms of status, it is not surprising to let Zhu Bajie eat the leftovers of the golden-winged Dapeng eagle.
But in fact, the status of the Golden-winged Dapeng cannot be higher than that of Zhu Bajie. The peacock, the Buddha mother, is just a vain name, and if she comes to respect her as the Buddha mother, it is to control the demon group behind her. The Buddha's mother is still in vain, and the golden-winged Dapeng eagle, the goduncle, is even less worth mentioning.
As for whether Zhu Bajie wants to eat leftovers, we can see the clues from what he said to him when he was sealed.
In the hundredth chapter of the original work, after the Monkey King was crowned as the fighting victory over the Buddha, he immediately added Zhu Bajie as the messenger of the pure altar, and said: "Zhu Wuneng, Marshal Ruben Tianpeng, for the wine of Ru Pan Tao will be drunk and played Xian'e, degraded your lower realm reincarnation, like an animal, fortunately you remember the lover of the body, enter my Shamen, protect the holy monk on the road, but there is stubbornness, pornography is not lost, because you have the merit of carrying the burden, and you are promoted to the right fruit, and you are the messenger of the pure altar." ”
If you come to seal Zhu Bajie as the messenger of the pure altar, you will deliberately promote him to the right fruit. The so-called positive fruit is the level of the Bodhisattva's positive fruit, which undoubtedly means that Zhu Bajie, the messenger of the Pure Altar, is not in vain, but has been included in the Lingshan Bodhisattva establishment and can enjoy the Bodhisattva treatment normally.
On the other hand, when the Golden-winged Dapeng Eagle promised him to enjoy the sacrifice, he did not give him any positive fruit rank, so he was not included in the establishment of the gods of Lingshan, and at best he was a temporary worker in charge of the sacrifice.
When the regular employees arrive at their posts, of course, the temporary workers can only stand aside, so it is impossible for Zhu Bajie to eat leftovers, and the only person who eats leftovers may be the golden-winged Dapeng eagle. Moreover, whether the golden-winged Dapeng eagle can have leftovers to eat every time depends on the mood of the department leader Zhu Bajie. What do you think?
