If you want to ask who is the master of the monkey king in the journey to the west, the other party will blurt out the Tang monk. Every time, Tang monk is indeed the master of Sun Wukong, but that's what happened after Tang Monk rescued Sun Wukong who was pressed at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain. Sun Wukong's first master was Bodhi. There was no mention of his life background in the original book, but more foreshadows were buried, which attracted people's speculation. So who is the master of the monkey king? Who is Bodhi? Who is the master of Monkey King and the true identity of Bodhi guru
To find out the true identity of Bodhi, we must look for his description from the original works.
In journey to the west, Bodhi, the name of Buddhism, the temperament and dress of Taoism, and the behavior thought of Confucianism. Basically, Bodhi is described as a great immortal who is proficient in both Taoism and Buddhism: powerful, numerous disciples and extensive enlightenment. The people of the mountains and the countryside were educated by him. Bodhi masters not only help people to the Tao, but also teach some methods to strengthen the body and cultivate the mind to the general public, so they are deeply respected.
When Sun Wukong visited the immortal to Xiniu Hezhou, he met a woodcutter who cut firewood and told him: "this mountain is called Lingtai Fangcun mountain. There is a three-star cave with a slanting moon in the mountain. In that cave, there is an immortal named Xu Bodhi. There are countless disciples who went out of the ancestral master. It can be seen that there are still thirty or forty people practicing from him. " The woodcutter who cuts firewood knows Bodhi, and other people should also know that the woodcutter cuts firewood on the mountain and sells it in the market at the foot of the mountain, which shows that this is not a secret place.
Then when the monkey king arrived, he saw a stone tablet, about three feet high and eight feet wide, with ten big characters' Lingtai square inch mountain, oblique moon three-star cave '. This sign is the biggest one in journey to the West! One foot is 3.33 meters, more than three feet, and three stories high. It shows that the ancestor attaches great importance to style. He is not a hermit, and there are many disciples.
In the first seven years after Sun Wukong worshipped Bodhi, he laid the foundation while doing chores, and then got the secret biography of the Bodhi through the back door. The Bodhi master gave the monkey king a few words, and the monkey king learned 72 changes and somersault clouds. The magic taught by the guru is simple and magical. It only needs a formula, which shows the Bodhi guru.
When the Bodhi master expelled the monkey king from his school, he said, 'you go now, you will have a bad life. It depends on how you make trouble and commit murder, but you are not allowed to say that you are my apprentice. If you say half a word, I will know. Peel and file your monkey, and demote the spirit in the nine secluded places. I will teach you that you can't turn over! " Knowing that Sun Wukong would cause trouble and murder, Bodhi still drove him away, but one thing: you must not say that you are my disciple& lt; Previous 12 next & gt;
