Tang Sanzang has three apprentices, which together constitute the secret of Wu Cheng'en's novel creation. Do you know that?/You know what?

Bodhi has no trees, and the mirror is not a stage. There is nothing in it, so it attracts the dust there. These are the words of Huineng, the sixth Zen master. It aims to tell the world that everything is like a dream and a bubble. Everyone has Buddha nature, the heart is not the heart, and things are not things. If you don't want to be persistent, then you can see clearly. Gender, Bodhi self-certification.

Wu Cheng'en, a famous writer in Ming Dynasty, was also a master of Buddhism. The Journey to the West fascinated and intoxicated countless people, and made Buddhism and Zen more popular. There are three disciples standing next to the Tang Priest. They are Wukong, Wuneng and Wukong. These three names alone contain Wu Cheng'en's understanding of Buddhism. In Buddhism, Wukong widely uses the word "empty".

Buddhism believes that "emptiness" is the noumenon of all things in the world, and the universe is a "big empty body". Just because "emptiness" can contain infinite things, everything can be done. Only through "emptiness" can human beings truly transform into Buddhism. But if you really want to understand "emptiness", is it easy to say? Our thoughts are always occupied by all kinds of nameless troubles, and there is no peace for the time being. Just like the "heavenly saint" who has not converted to Buddhism and was ruled by the Monkey King, he is essentially just a nasty monkey.

Bodhi once said to the Monkey King, "You are like a big family. Why don't you call yourself Sun? " . Your name is the Monkey King. "From then on, the Monkey King was relied on by the Buddha. Enter the Tao, become "Wukong", fully realize, and return to the path of happiness in Buddhism and Taoism. The name Enlightenment was given by Guanyin Bodhisattva, which corresponds to the "Dharma" in Buddhist schools and means enlightenment to Buddhism.

As we all know, Wuneng was the "Grand Marshal Tian Peng" who was in charge of the 80,000-strong water army in Tianhe. He is strong and powerful, but he has many problems. He is indifferent, lazy and obsessed with the word "desire". Flirting with Chang 'e angered everyone and was demoted to the world. Therefore, Guanyin Bodhisattva gave him the title of "Wuneng", hoping that he would realize the Tao as soon as possible and get rid of these drawbacks. Tang Priest and his disciples soon understood the true meaning of enlightenment, so they named it "Bajie". Remind him to keep the commandments all the time, because the commandments mean enlightenment.

Jason Wu is the name of three disciples and Guanyin Bodhisattva. I hope he can become a monk as soon as possible. Buddha said: "Let his heart be quiet, that is, the Buddha land is quiet." Therefore, Jason Wu is the image of a monk, and "quietness" is also the final result of "martial arts and understanding", so Jason Wu is also called "flowing monk". This is different from the Monkey King's rebellion and Pig's laziness in cooking. Since Sha Wujing became a disciple of the Tang Priest, his intention is no different. The precepts are truly "clean". This is the author Wu Cheng'en's understanding of Buddhism when we correspond "Wukong, Daoism and Enlightenment" to "Buddhism, Legalization and Monk" in Buddhism.

In fact, isn't this the process of our life from "Wukong" to "Enlightenment" and then to "Enlightenment"? When we were very young, we always said, "Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers". We want to know everything and try everything. "Monkey King" who likes adventure? However, as we grow up day by day, we find that the world is not so simple and easy.

After experiencing the "cruel beating" of society, our innocent hearts began to be polluted by the world, and evil things such as "greed, hatred and delusion" merged together again. With our blood, aren't we "the enlightenment of pigs"? Finally settled down, enough to cope with all kinds of chaos in the world, become a "Sha Wujing". The so-called "emptiness, health and cleanliness" is also the process of everyone's growth. Only three names contain such profound truth, and can also show the author Wu Cheng'en's profound understanding of Buddhism and profound literary accomplishment, which is really amazing.
