Sun Wukong was naughty by nature. In those days, learning skills from Bodhi was like three minutes of heat, three days of fishing and two days of drying the net. He also made trouble all day long. After learning a little skill, he lost his cool. He just wanted to learn the art of immortality. Unexpectedly, he was driven away by the Bodhi Ancestor before he completed the cultivation, and Monkey King had to walk back to Huaguo Mountain in frustration. Although he learned seventy-two changes, Sun Wukong didn't learn one of his skills. If he did, he would be unable to defeat Tang Monk's Tight Enchantment.
Because half of them were driven down the mountain by the Bodhi Ancestor, and some of the magic Sun Wukong did not learn, in fact, he was still not academic. The Monkey King, who seems to have great power, is vulnerable in the water. Every time they meet the goblins in the water system, they will escape to the water as long as they can't defeat the Monkey King. The goblins probably also know the weakness of the Monkey King. So the Monkey King is very powerful on the ground and a sick cat in the water. The Monkey King had no choice but to stand on the bank and scold the goblins in the water and let them come out to fight. For example, water battle.
What is the reason why the Monkey King's fighting power will decline rapidly in the water? Once Sun Wukong told his younger martial brothers that because he had to recite spells and fight monsters in the water at the same time, he could not do both. He was often distracted, so he could not fight monsters in the water. In fact, his two younger martial brothers also want to chant spells and hit monsters at the same time, but why can they do that? It is not because the younger martial brothers are solid in their basic skills. Sun Wukong is not good at learning and did not learn all the skills from Bodhi.
And the seventy-two changes of Sun Wukong. In fact, Erlang God can also get this magic. Erlang God will never have problems when changing, and will never be seen through. So there is no problem with magic. However, the Monkey King's seventy-two transformations are full of loopholes. He will have red buttocks and long tails in any shape, and will reveal the prototype once he smiles. So the problem must be Sun Wukong himself. He didn't learn a skill from Bodhi, so his magic always has some defects.
From this point of view, Sun Wukong did not learn all his skills, and even his learned skills were not learned well. There was one of the most important skills that Bodhi didn't learn. If he learned the ability of Jingzi Gate, Tang Monk's Tight Enchantment would have no effect on him. According to the original work, Sun Wukong has been loafing around and fooling around every day in the past few years.
It can be said that I only learned some trivial skills, but I can't hold my breath anymore. I thought that the Bodhi elder was fooling me and wanted to leave. Once when the Bodhi ancestor was giving a lecture, the Monkey King could not stand it anymore. He was very impatient, writhing about on his stool. The great old Bodhi must know what the monkey had planned, so he asked him what he wanted to learn. He said modestly that I would learn what you taught me.
The Bodhi Ancestor also had no choice but to list him several skills, including Shuzi Gate, Liuzi Gate, Jingzi Gate, and Xingzi Gate.
Among these skills, the most useful one is probably the Quiet Word Gate. The mind is calm. Naturally, many spells will make fewer mistakes. The most important thing to cultivate this skill is to calm down and meditate, sit down and think about life, practice in isolation and so on. How do you want a lively monkey to practice this kind of magic? In addition, Sun Wukong did not expect to learn scriptures with Tang Monk at that time. How could he have the awareness to practice this.
After meditating for almost ten years, the founder of Dharma suddenly realized the realm of emptiness, and the monkey Monkey could not learn it. Tang Monk's Tight Hoop Mantra is also called the Heart Fixing Mantra. If Sun Wukong had practiced meditation, this spell would have no effect on him. Unfortunately, Sun Wukong did not learn the Jingzi Gate, so the Tight Hoop Curse is like a private custom for him, and can completely suppress him.
When I read the Journey to the West a long time ago, I felt that the chapter of Monkey King's going to learn martial arts from his master was a bit strange. It was clear that Bodhi knew that the purpose of this monkey's coming to learn martial arts was to achieve immortality. What Bodhi taught him in the past few years has nothing to do with immortality. Does Bodhi really want to teach Monkey King. What skills should be used to prevaricate him. Some scholars believe that learning these skills is Wu Chengen's deliberate writing of these strange cultivation skills in order to satirize Taoism.
However, after careful consideration and reflection, we found that the truth was not to satirize or prevaricate the Monkey King, but to practice magic itself was to meditate and achieve peace.
Now we should know why Sun Wukong was expelled from his school by Bodhi. Why don't we have a good Bi Ma Wen in the heaven. In the end, he was pressed by the Buddha at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain for 500 years. When they were released, they were also bound by Tang Monk. This is because he did not follow Bodhi to learn meditation skills, and his accomplishments could not reach the realm. I haven't really realized the importance of meditation.
In fact, Sun Wukong's experience is very similar to our life. When I was young and frivolous, whenever I met something unpleasant, I would quarrel or fight at any time. I was extremely impulsive and said I would be angry. After getting a certain age, having a certain experience, experiencing some setbacks, and having a little precipitation in the heart, we can understand that impulse is the devil, and can't solve any problems. It's better to calm down and think of other ways. We have grown up step by step like Monkey King.
The Monkey King thought that he could fight all over the world with a golden stirrup stick. He thought that no one should be his opponent. But after he experienced the ninety-nine eighty-one difficulty in learning from the classics, he gradually realized how many shortcomings and weaknesses he had. No matter how powerful you are, you can't beat a group of people. The weak will never be the strongest. Buddha's palm can hold him for 500 years.
Only a calm mind can practice real skills. Only a calm mind can avoid being disturbed by the outside world, so as to better practice your own skills. When the four masters and disciples reached the place where the Tathagata Buddha was, Sun Wukong could finally take off the golden hoop that accompanied his growth. Only then did he realize that Buddha Bodhi had always been very kind to him. However, it is not too late to realize these truths after experiencing so much in the end. In the process of learning, we should also pay attention not to put the cart before the horse, and be eager for quick success and instant benefit. We should learn to calm down and think slowly and feel slowly.
