Text/Walking with a snail
Speaking of bottomless boats, I will definitely think of Lingyundu, think of Lingyundu, will definitely think of receiving the Buddha, think of receiving the Buddha, and will definitely think of the Tang monks.
This is because Tang Monk is in Lingyun Ferry, through the bottomless boat, and finally embarked on the peak of life, oh no, to the peak of the Spirit Mountain.
But in this process, he did not have a very hi yo, and he did not realize that life had reached an orgasm, but he was really startled by the bottomless boat.
Let's restore how the Tang monks crossed the river.
In the ninety-eighth time of the original work, the Tang monks and disciples arrived at Lingyundu, and when they looked, there were vast rivers and rivers, but there were no boats. Sun Wukong was clever, looking for a way everywhere, and finally found a slippery canoe bridge, saying that it was a canoe bridge, but it was actually a wooden stick. Sun Wukong ran over a few times, and then told the Eight Commandments Sand Monk to cross the river, but they couldn't beat it to death, because they were afraid of falling into the river.
Neither of the disciples dared to cross the river, let alone the Tang monks. While arguing, someone came by boat and seemed to shout "go to so-and-so's ticket to buy a ticket and get on the bus." Tang Monk was overjoyed and hurriedly greeted the boatman.
The old man in the floral plaid shirt drove the boat over, and Tang Monk just stepped forward, but suddenly retracted it. It turned out that he found that the boat had no bottom at all, and almost fell on one of his heels into it.
Who knows, Sun Wukong put a fork in his arm with both hands, and immediately pushed him onto the boat, but fell into the water. Tang Monk quickly climbed up and was about to blame Sun Wukong, but found a corpse at the bottom of the ship. He was horrified, but Sun Wukong clapped his hands and smiled: "It's you!" The Pig Eight Precepts Sand Monk also clapped his hands and smiled: "It's you!" The old man who punched the boat also laughed: It is you who is you, and it is you who wants to support you!
This old man in a floral plaid shirt naturally attracted the Buddha. But why is his ship bottomless? The original book has an introduction to the bottomless ship -
Hongmeng's initial judgment has a reputation, fortunately I have not changed. There are waves and winds that are still stable, and there is no end and no beginning. The six dusts can be unified, and all disasters can be carried out safely. Bottomless boats are sad to the sea, and they have crossed the river in ancient times.
When was the bottomless boat born and who built it? In fact, the first verse of the poem explains: Hongmeng's initial judgment has a reputation.
What was the Hongmeng period? The word is also mentioned at the beginning of the original work: since Pangu broke the Hongmeng, he opened up the distinction from Ziqing.
There's a key name here, Pangu! In this comparison, everyone will understand what period Hongmeng is, to put it bluntly, that is, when the heavens and the earth have not yet opened and the universe is in chaos. The connection actually tells us that this bottomless ship existed when the heavens and the earth were just split by Pangu.
So, when was the Buddha born? For example, come late to the Buddha. In the original work, it is also clearly mentioned that at the beginning of the Three Realms, the most powerful ones were the birds and beasts, and the most powerful of the birds was the phoenix, which gave birth to the peacock and the roc, and the peacock swallowed the rulai that was cultivating in his stomach, and later he broke out of his back.
This shows that the Buddha is many generations later than Pangu. That is to say, the owner of the bottomless boat is not at all the recipient of the Buddha. So, who is the real owner? Apparently Pangu.
Pangu is definitely the first god in the Three Realms, what did he build this ship for? Naturally, it was his means of transportation across the river. Because he has supreme divine power, he does not need the bottom at all. Some people may ask, then what kind of ship does he have divine power? Can't be pretending, right?
This is obviously a misunderstanding of our old ancestors. He built the ship not for his own sake, but for testing other gods. Reach a certain level, follow him in a bottomless boat to cross the river, not to reach the level, naturally fell from the bottom of the boat, which is equivalent to a funnel when shaking the lottery ball, but the winner did not fall.
Later, this ship passed to the Buddha, so the Buddha had a sentence: Fortunately, I will not change it! Meaning, in my hands, this tradition has never been lost.
Now, the ship has become a tool to measure whether mortals are qualified to go to the Spirit Mountain to become Buddhas. Tang Monk couldn't do it, so he fell into the river, but in his previous life, the golden cicada stood at the bow of the boat and successfully completed the golden cicada shelling ceremony.
