Speaking of the green bull spirit, we all know that in the journey to the west, it is said that it is neither powerful nor powerful. The cow is generally a symbol of honesty for us, so we will not have too much hostility to this green bull spirit. However, in the journey to the west, he is bad and not even afraid of the Tathagata. Why is this green bull spirit not afraid of the Tathagata, Let’s take a look at the real identity of qingniu Jing. Let’s take a look at the real identity of qingniu Jing!
This Tathagata is so powerful, why are there people who are afraid? And who are the people who are afraid of?
He is the Supreme Lord of Taoism. When the Tang Monk’s master and apprentice arrived at Jindou mountain, they met the powerful demon king unicorn. Because this demon’s diamond carving can cover all things, after Wukong lost the golden cudgel, he invited Li Tianwang and his son, Deng Hua, Zhang Fan, Lei Gong, Huode Xingjun, the Yellow River water Bo God King and other celestial soldiers to come to suppress the demon, but they could not win. I had to go to Lingshan to ask Buddha for help. What does the Tathagata say?
In the 52nd chapter of the original book, the Tathagata said to the walker, “although I know about the monster, I can’t tell you about it. You monkey are open-minded. Once I tell you about him, he won’t fight with you. He will definitely go up to the Lingshan mountain and bring disaster on me.”
The ancients did not deceive me. They beat the dog to see the master. This sentence is applicable in the sky! Instead, the Tathagata betrayed the truth and didn’t tell him that the demon was actually the green bull spirit of the Supreme Lord. The Tathagata is afraid that the green bull spirit will come to trouble him instead of telling him the truth.
On the one hand, it shows that the Tathagata is not sure to subdue this demon, because the Supreme Lord himself said that if there is no banana fan, I can’t help him. If the Tathagata does not have a banana fan, there is no way to deal with King Kong Zhuo;
On the other hand, if you subdue this demon, it will be a great embarrassment to the overlord. You should know that the old gentleman wrote a letter to turn Hu into a Buddha in those years, which was really a contribution to Buddhism. If you don’t give the old gentleman face, it’s a bit unreasonable. So the Tathagata didn’t do it himself. How did he do it?
The Tathagata ordered the eighteen Arhats to open the treasure house and take 18 “golden elixir” and Wukong’s help. The Tathagata said that the function of golden pill sand is to trap demons and capture them. In fact, it is of no use. At this time, the two Arhats of subduing the dragon and subduing the tiger told the truth. If they can’t subdue the tiger, they must go to the Dou rate palace to find the Supreme Lord.
Why didn’t he tell the truth at the beginning? On the contrary, knowing that the golden elixir can not subdue the demon, why do you want to be taken away again? This is the wisdom of Tathagata Buddha. You should know that the interpersonal relationship in journey to the west is very complicated. Those who die miserably have no background!
In fact, a closer look at this story has set us many mysteries.
First, when Sun Wukong fought with the heavenly soldiers and generals on Huaguo Mountain, he was captured only after the diamond cut of the Supreme Lord hit his head. But now he doesn’t know this circle. Was he stupid or did he forget after serving 500 years in prison?
Second, even if Sun Wukong forgets, don’t the gods such as the king of tota and Nezha, who are colleagues with Taishang Laojun, know this circle?
Third, generally speaking, when Sun Wukong encounters an unfair situation, he usually goes to Guanyin Bodhisattva first. If Guanyin can solve the problem, he will not disturb the Buddha. Only when he meets such a difficult person as the six eared macaque can he make trouble with the supreme leader. Then why did he bypass Guanyin this time and speak beyond the level?
Fourth, since the Buddha Buddha knows that finding the Supreme Lord can deal with the green bull spirit, why did he send the eighteen Arhats to fight with the golden elixir sand first, and then tell Sun Wukong to go to the palace to find the Supreme Lord by subduing the dragon and subduing the tiger?
Fifthly, Li Jinggui is the king of tota. He is the Grand Marshal who subdues the devil to quell the rebellion of Sun Wukong. He can’t be seen to lay down his identity and fight with Sun Wukong. It’s not the romance of the Three Kingdoms. How can people at the marshal level fight against monsters?
Sixth, when the Tang Monk and his disciples passed by Pingding Mountain, they met the Golden Horn king and the silver horn king. They were the gold and silver children of the Supreme Lord. They stole the jade net bottle, the red gourd, the banana fan, the seven star sword, and the gold rope. Now the green bull spirit stole the diamond to carve the lower boundary. How could the Supreme Lord be so lax?
Tracing back to the source, the problem still lies in the contradiction between Buddhism and Taoism.
The most typical example is that four masters and disciples of Tang Monk passed through Chechi state and met three national masters, tiger, deer and sheep. The contradiction between Buddhism and Taoism is extremely acute here. Although these three monsters cruelly kill Buddhists, they are extremely devout in their heart to the Tao.
In the end, Sun Wukong drove out the three demons, which led to the decline of Taoism and the prosperity of Buddhism in Chechi country. The four masters and disciples traveled westward all the way to promote Buddhism, which was bound to crowd out Taoism, which swept the face of the Taoist master, the Supreme Lord.
In addition, Sun Wukong once subdued the gold and silver boy with five magic treasures without much effort in Pingding Mountain, which is more like hitting the face of the Supreme Lord.
Of course, the Supreme Lord is indifferent and detached, and naturally does not care. But his mount qingniu Jing couldn’t bear to see it, so he went to earth in private. Looking at what qingniu Jing has done, he has no intention of eating Tang Monk’s meat. He built a mountain villa on the roadside, put a few clothes on it, set a set to let you get in. To put it bluntly, he deliberately found fault, just to give vent to his master.
Therefore, Sun Wukong saw it clearly, Buddha Buddha saw it clearly, and King tota saw it clearly. They took great pains to fight a protracted war with an animal of Taishang Laojun, and finally let Taishang Laojun take back the qingniu Jing without any effort at the right opportunity. We all worked together to perform a play to give the Supreme Lord a great face. Disclaimer: the above content is from the Internet, and the copyright belongs to the original author.
