The story of a little monster who dared to pretend to be Guanyin Bodhisattva, in the story of the ancient myth "Journey to the West", the name Red Boy may not be as loud as Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, but his courage is definitely not small. Imagine how bold it is for a little monster to not only dare to challenge the Heavenly Court, but also dare to pretend to be Guanyin! But why would a compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva be furious because of a little demon's prank, and even smash his precious treasures?
In the storyline of "Journey to the West", the identity of Red Boy is not simple, he is the son of the Bull Demon King, and he is born with good mana. However, no matter how strong his mana is, it is difficult to hide his ambition and arrogance. No, one day, Red Boy learned that Sun Wukong's scripture-learning team was about to pass through his territory, so he had evil intentions and wanted to show his ability by teasing the scripture-learning team.
The climax of the story comes from a bold decision by Red Boy - he becomes the appearance of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Why choose Guanyin Bodhisattva? Because Guanyin's prestige among the people is extremely high, almost everyone knows about it, and no one knows it. Red Boy wants to use Guanyin's name to further enhance his prestige. But God did not fulfill people's wishes, and this disguise not only failed to increase his popularity, but instead lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot.
When Zhu Bajie was trapped by the red child's samadhi true fire and had nothing to do, Sun Wukong had to ask Guanyin Bodhisattva in the South China Sea to help. Unexpectedly, Zhu Bajie was deceived by the red boy who had changed into Guanyin, and mistakenly thought that the real Guanyin Bodhisattva was coming, but ended up being arrested.
When the real Guanyin Bodhisattva learned about this scene, he was furious. Guanyin Bodhisattva has always been compassionate and always amiable to all living beings, but the behavior of the red child is undoubtedly a great insult to her. What's more, in the process of impersonating her, Red Boy also made a lot of nonsense, claiming that even if the real Guanyin came, he didn't pay attention to it. How can this kind of behavior of ignoring the rules of heaven and challenging authority not make Guanyin Bodhisattva angry? So, the always gentle Guanyin Bodhisattva smashed the treasure in his hand - the willow jade net bottle under anger. This behavior not only symbolizes her extreme dissatisfaction with the behavior of the red child, but also a powerful blow to that arrogance and disrespect.
In the face of Guanyin's wrath, Red Boy finally couldn't resist it. The combination of Sun Wukong and Guanyin Bodhisattva finally made this unruly little goblin put away his edge. After a profound lesson, Red Boy is forced to change his mentality and grow from an arrogant little monster to a responsible good money boy. This change is undoubtedly also the victory of Guanyin Bodhisattva's compassionate teaching.
Although the story is full of mythology, the meaning behind it is very profound. It's not just a story about how a yokai was transformed, it's a discussion of a challenge to authority and respect for the rules. Red Boy's behavior, although he seemed extremely powerful for a while, eventually led to his own defeat due to his arrogance and arrogance. And Guanyin's compassion and wisdom eventually helped him realize his mistake and restore order in the heavenly realm.
The lessons here are manifold. It teaches us that humility and respect should not be lost, even in the face of great power. It also stresses the importance of indoctrination and correction. Although Guanyin smashed the treasure in a fit of rage, she finally chose education and guidance rather than simple punishment.
This story still has a very real meaning today. In our lives, whether at work or in our personal interactions, we will always encounter various challenges and temptations. How to maintain one's heart and not lose one's true character in the face of these challenges is a topic that everyone needs to learn. And those seemingly powerful authorities actually need our understanding and respect, which is not only respect for others, but also a recognition of one's own position.
Through the story of the red child pretending to be Guanyin Bodhisattva in "Journey to the West", we can not only see the growth of a goblin, but also experience the power of compassion and wisdom. Guanyin's approach to this approach has left us with a profound revelation: compassion and wisdom are often more powerful than simple anger and revenge in the face of offense and challenge. This story is not only an ancient legend, but also a mirror, reflecting the inner growth and choices of each of us. Let us face every challenge with wisdom and compassion in our lives, just like Guanyin did.
