obtained the scriptures, why did the Eight Precepts Drifting not become Buddhas? They disqualified in one move
. In the film and television drama, the four masters and apprentices went through a lot of experience, and finally succeeded in obtaining the scriptures. They were happily in front of the Tathagata and became Buddhas in the beautiful scenery. All are happy. This ending is in line with the public’s three views. I think that there are 4 people who learned the scriptures, and 4 people who sealed the Buddha are normal. In fact, in the original work, only Tang Seng and Monkey King were honored in the end. The other two were not sealed at all. Why?
Let’s take a look at the plot. In the play, Zhu Bajie made many requests to return to Gaolaozhuang. If it weren’t for the "prostitution" of the master
, he would have gone thousands of times earlier. He did not have a pious heart and attitude to learn from the experience. It's a task for him, just leave if it doesn't work, always thinking about how to retreat.
When they passed through the monk country, they found that the king of this country actually ate the internal organs of children. Of course, the kind-hearted Tang monk could not bear to look at it. He changed to an ordinary person and did not dare to express his dissatisfaction in front of the king. They would also whisper in their hearts, or discuss with people close to them, but Bajie and Drifting said that this is someone else’s family matter, and we can’t care about it. As people who learn from scriptures, how can we not even have this kind of pity? Turning his head to look at Monkey King, he was counted as stubborn at first, but he was also counted as the most sensible and kind. Faced with the rhetoric of the juniors, he twisted the ears and spanked the pig, and he was never true on the road. Give up learning. Although he is not easy to discipline and aggressive, but apart from the master, he is the most Buddha-minded, and he is a person who has really been tempered and changed, but I think even if he has not been tempered, Sun Wukong is very kind.
is not only the scriptures, but also the experience and tempering. Obviously, except for the master and the elder brother, the other two are unqualified. Therefore, in the original book, the only ones who become Buddhas are the two. The dead in the play are probably satisfied with their merits. The wishes of the audience.
