Journey to the West A few small truths of the meaning of the black chicken country
- Blind in the eyes of an elephant
The chapter of Journey to the West Wuji Kingdom roughly means that the Tang monks and apprentices passed through the Wuji Kingdom and dreamed in a royal monastery that the ghost of the king complained about his grievances, saying that he was killed by a Quanzhen, and then changed into his appearance and occupied his throne and queen. The synopsis is very simple, but it is also quite tasteful in detail.
Of course, first, as for the clear context given at the end of this chapter through the mouth of Manjushri Bodhisattva, what is so-called, "The king immersed Manjushri Bodhisattva in the Yushui River for three days and three nights, and Manjushri Bodhisattva's mount, the Golden Retriever Lion, the Green Lion Lynx King, was ordered by the Buddha to push the king of the Uji Kingdom into the well of the imperial garden. This way of expressing a Buddhist karma is certainly not unreasonable, but it is obviously a bit far-fetched. Because the result was arranged by the Buddha, this is not only not promoting the Buddha, but also degrading the Buddha! The Buddhists talk about emptiness, transcending the six paths, and what is right and wrong. Arranging for the Green Lion Lynx King to go to the Duke of Wuji to avenge his personal vendetta is obviously just a cult theory of the sect leader's prestige.
Second, it is said in the human world that all true Taoists and all false kings. This is a bitter irony: quanzhen Daoist has been a false king for three years. However, in the past three years, the country of Wuji has been more prosperous and rainy than when the real king was in power, the people live and work in peace and contentment, rich and healthy, ironically the king can distinguish between true and false, the people's life is only life, it is unique, life is still true and false, true and false is just a different position of treatment. True or false, false and true, true and false when false is true.
In addition, when the defeated green haired lion essence turned into the form of Tang Monk, the true and false Tang Monk made It difficult for Wukong to distinguish for a while, and the original wrote, "This practitioner, raise the stick and look at Tang Monk to fight." wretched! If it weren't for calling those gods to come, this time, it would be two thousand Tang monks, and they would also be beaten into meat sauce! Thanks to the gods who set up the iron rod road, 'Great sage, the monster will soar into the clouds and go to the upper temple'. Goku can distinguish the false king that the entire subjects of the Wuji Kingdom, including the crown prince and queen, cannot distinguish, but he cannot distinguish the true and false Tang monks who are the same as those who come to his head. That is to say, people are lost in the game!
Third, when it is impossible to distinguish, when there is no choice, the anxious monkey scratches his ears and scratches his cheeks, and his eyes are full of Venus, which can be described as a clever and confused time, there is a saying, "When the methods of smart people are not working, the methods of stupid people often work the most" This has not always been awakened by Goku's eight precepts called Rammed Bag Kang, chanting mantras, and this next suddenly identified the false Tang monks. The stupid method works.
Fourth, Goku becomes a rabbit to lead the prince. From the bottom of the well to the eight precepts to the king, this is more or less a hidden word for Taoist cultivation of immortals. Not very clear, let's say two words:
Zhang Heng's "Lingxian" is cloudy: "The moon, the sect of yin and essence, accumulates into a beast, like a rabbit clam." ”
There are also people who regard rabbits as immortals, and "Baopuzi" says: "Rabbits live a thousand years old, and when they reach five hundred years old, they are white." "If it is a fairy, it can also help others to be immortal, so the Taoist theory believes that rabbits can be used to communicate with immortals after taking it." This is probably why Goku became a rabbit and not another animal.
And the eight precepts belong to the bottom of the kidney well is the source of water, it is necessary to recite the eight precepts, the prince is likened to the baby, the jade gui is the keepsake, the gui double soil is likened to the yellow woman, the non-medium cannot be, and the empress dowager is likened to the housewife. Then what is the so-called, Jin Gong Mu Mu, Huang Po lead, true lead and real mercury, baby An Zhaonu, five elements of the cluster, and finally Taishang Laojun that got a nine-turn return soul Dan, which means that the Taoist nine-turn Return Dan Technique, as for the meticulous truth, is it that thing, the author does not quite understand, I do not say anything.
