[Journey to the West] Tucao Emperor who was delayed by Buddhism

Before I go to choose students for Buddhist scriptures, there are still many things I want to talk about.

The Buddha had a meeting that day, originally he wanted to talk about the people who learned the scriptures.

The thing is like this, we want to expand the number of believers, but we can’t just send the scriptures by ourselves. .

According to him, it was the Dongtu people of that generation who were not good, they were the worst Dongtu people he had ever seen. Not only were they stupid, but they also slandered us and neglected our branch over there. Anyway, we had to find someone to learn from. People go through ninety-nine and eighty-one tribulations and take back the scriptures. (Note: See Chapter 81 of Journey to the West)

You know, people just don't cherish things that are too easy to get.

It's a pity that everyone has lived too long, and no one has a sense of time. It's normal to digress in the middle of a meeting. Anyway, you will come back after a few hundred years. It doesn't matter if you go further, anyway, after thousands of years. It will come back sooner or later.

Therefore, the topic of studying Buddhist scriptures has shifted to the issue of my image in Dongtu Datang.

The gender of Guanyin, under the uneven publicity of the Buddhist Propaganda Committee, has the following possibilities.

One, I am a woman.

Two, I am male and female.

Three, I have no gender, because Buddha has no prejudice.

The Buddha was more inclined to the latter. It is said that he wanted to shape me into such a perfect neutral image, which symbolizes equality between men and women, and there is no distinction between high and low.

But the problem was that I was already a man at that time, and if he wanted to reform me, he would have to go to great lengths to make some extremely subtle changes.

Hey, when you founded Buddhism, how did you expect it to spread so widely one day?How could one have imagined that it would change as it was passed on?And the problem is, here in the west I'm a man, and in the east I'm a woman, which makes it very difficult, because people can accept that gods are not male and female, but for some reason, they can't be male and female .

The Buddha originally wanted to make this change, but later he thought that this would make me look like a mascot in the Buddhist world, which would not be fair to me.

God is like that, and you are what people think you are.In the human world, I have a female body, so I have to wear women's clothing to exert the greatest magic power; in the human world, I have a male body, so even if I wear the queen mother's clothes, it is useless. The Buddha said he would give it to me Changing gender has been talked about for thousands of years. Up to now, I have been disguised as a man in China.

In fact, I don't mind whether he corrects this problem at all, because I am already a Bodhisattva, the six senses of a Bodhisattva are pure, and all living beings are equal. It doesn't matter whether I have gender characteristics or not. , no one cares about unusable things.

Therefore, for his idea of ​​equality of all beings, I once said that I can make sacrifices to express my firm belief in my Buddha.

The Buddha was very moved by this, but when we were talking about this issue, a bodhisattva suddenly said: "You can't ignore it just because you don't use it. After all, all living beings are equal, and organs are also equal."

This……

At this time, another bodhisattva added in time: "Men in the world never use their penis, but this thing has existed for thousands of years, and no one will cut it off because it is useless. Avalokitesvara, Don't be prejudiced against your organs."

This……

I wanted to ask, how do you know that people don't use it?Just like the appendix, people not only don't use it, but sometimes it kills them.But I can't ask, lest they find out that I am a fake Avalokitesvara.

I couldn't bear it anymore, so I asked them, "Are you saying this so that one day the society will develop and let me promote the equality of men who disguise themselves as women?"

The Buddha said: "That's not the case, of course not, how can you have such a narrow mind."

The Bodhisattva also said: "All living beings are equal, and there is no high or low. A man disguised as a woman is naturally equal to a man disguised as a man."

Later, the issue got down to whether drag men were as equal as drag women, and no one talked about my sexuality anymore.

And originally they could talk about my problem after they finished talking about that problem, but that problem is very profound. For example, some people say that they are equal, and some people say: Why do people often praise their heroism when they see women disguised as men, and see men disguised as women? But always laughing, indicating that there is still inequality.

In the middle of their quarrel, some people said that since they are not equal, we must make efforts to make them equal. In this way, it is really endless.

Forget it, anyway, all living beings are equal, I don't care about these anymore.

I saw that they were still arguing about equality and inequality, but I, I was going to be annoyed to death by that shit-stirring Monkey King.

In this way, I left without a sound amidst their discussions, and went with my strange apprentice Hui An who didn't like to talk very much, who was tossing the Buddhist scriptures in the lower realm.

Speaking of which, when I was doing business in the lower realms, I once met a scholar.Originally, the scholar was very knowledgeable, and he had something to talk to me, a Bodhisattva who knew too many things even though he didn't go to school. What.

I told him that Avalokitesvara is a man and a woman, at least in Dongsheng Shenzhou, but he suddenly became furious and recited countless scriptures and allusions to me to prove whether I was a man or a woman.

To be honest, we are not particularly particular about this in Xitian.

So, in order to show him the truth, after he recited nearly hundreds of classics for me to study, I took off my clothes, pointed to my gender characteristics and told him that I am Avalokitesvara, I have both men and women Although I don’t have it now, I can have it, because I am a Buddha. A Buddha was a person at the beginning. A Buddha must be a person before he can become a Buddha. The compassion of a Buddha comes from a person. , detached from the mundane, is not a Buddha.

However, what I didn't expect was that he looked at me in shock, and then began to curse, saying that I insulted Guanyin and behaved badly, how could such indecent things be so exposed.

Hey, I've said it all, Xitian doesn't pay much attention to these things.We talked about the equality of all beings, so the organs are also equal. The eyes, nose, mouth, arms, buttocks and legs all have the same status. It makes no sense that the eyes should be covered if they can be exposed. These sensitive areas are generally not touched when preaching...

But I can't explain this to him clearly, so I can only tell him that this Buddha, whether it is male or female, human or dog, is all to influence sentient beings and let them find a heart of compassion. What kind of gods do people always pass on? One more eye than others, I have never seen anyone say that Bodhisattva has one more chirp than others, this is the limitation of thinking!

But the scholar didn't listen, the scholar only heard me say that Bodhisattvas have one more chirp than humans, so he thought I was a pervert, and didn't even recite the scriptures for me, thinking that I was a broken sleeve who wanted to take advantage of him, and I didn't have a head. Back scared away.

It wasn’t long before I became Avalokitesvara, and I didn’t have a deep understanding of the teachings of the Buddha’s way of preaching, so I chased after him and said that all living beings are equal. Although men and women are different in structure, they are both human races, so the love between men and men There is no difference between the love between a man and a woman, and the love between a woman and a woman is no different from the love between a woman and a man, because people should love each other, but there are some differences in whether to reproduce or not.But I am a Buddha, and you are a human being, so I can accept what you think or not, it doesn’t matter, just like my Buddha’s six sense organs are pure, but I will not force others to purify their six sense organs...

So, the first person I preached to, was scared to death by me, shouted "Help, there is a madman" all the way, and ran away without looking back.

Therefore, this time I descended to the lower bounds, I absolutely cannot do such a thing.

The first place I want to go is the quicksand river boundary.

This is definitely not a good place, just above the water, not even a leaf can float up.Speaking of which, the original words of the Buddha this time are, if I meet obedient goblins on the road, I will take them in as apprentices to the Buddhist scriptures, but I am not stupid, how can I not know which goblins?

The monster here was originally a god in the heaven (see note 1). When he was a god, he was careful and conscientious. He rolled the curtain for the queen mother. It took thousands of years to do such a simple job.

He is more honest. Even if he hasn't been promoted for thousands of years, he doesn't complain at all. He continues to be an honest man and rolls his curtains.

All in all, he is just a small civil servant in heaven, who is careful and conscientious in his work. Although he has not made any major contributions, he is also a model worker!Moreover, he has rolled the curtains for thousands of years, and he just works without any ambition at all, and he hasn't complained once. What a rare good person.

But even the most careful and conscientious people make mistakes sometimes.

So, this honest man who has never made mistakes for thousands of years shook his hand one day and broke the glass cup at the peach feast.

People are not sages and sages can do nothing, smashing something, for the sake of his dedication and hard work for so many years, wouldn't it be fine to punish him?

But Tianting didn't, Tianting directly beat him eight hundred whips, made his appearance extremely ugly, and punished him to the lower realm.

That's all, it's not over yet.

He was sent to hell, and once every seven days, he had to let the flying sword pierce his chest and ribs for more than a hundred times before going back. In this place where even the leaves can't float up, he can never be reborn, and he endures the pain of hunger and cold.

That's what happens to good old people.

Originally, after the Jade Emperor finished this work, he was forgotten. After all, there are many people who want to become immortals. It doesn't take much ability to do things like rolling the curtain. This little civil servant used to When he was in Tianting, he didn't talk much, and he was kicked out of Tiangong, and no one remembered him.

Let me tell you the truth, there are a lot of things going on at the Pantao Festival, Tianting is so rich, can it be short of a cup or two?Moreover, Sun Wukong not only stole the fairy peach, but also smashed the flat peach banquet. Have you seen him being tossed like this?

Isn't he just being crushed under the Five Elements Mountain?

Being stripped of the body, thousands of swords pierced through the heart, and ruined the appearance?

So, being a good old man is harder than being a monkey child.

All in all, after a long time after this incident, the Jade Emperor suddenly realized that he did not lack one or two glass cups.

But the order has been issued, and this unlucky guy has been stabbed in the chest by flying swords every seven days for hundreds of years, and has been waiting for a long time in a deserted place, hungry and cold. He is the Jade Emperor, and what he said cannot be taken back easily, anyway. The unlucky ones don't even think about going to the Heavenly Palace.

So, he thought of a subtle way, pretending that the suffering of this unlucky guy was not for nothing, it was a calamity, and then he went to the Buddha to talk about his love and let the unlucky guy go to learn scriptures. If Xi Tian did something, he would be pardoned.

The Buddha looked good. This is very suitable for our needs for talents. You see, the Buddhas here are so mournful, and there is a lack of such a person who is willing to work hard and do practical things.

But this unlucky guy was remembered, and there are countless other unlucky guys who are tortured somewhere.

I think this unlucky guy is not difficult to subdue, although he is already a monster, he is an honest man after all.

Looking for apprentices on the way to learn scriptures, I like honest people the most.

Then, I just watched the water splashing in the quicksand river, and an ugly monster jumped out.

scared me.My psychological expectation is not like this. After all, I used to be a god and did things in front of the Queen Mother, so why did I become so ugly.

I calmed down a bit, and was about to say something to this guy with a red head and long fangs, but before I could speak, he was about to come over and grab me with his staff.

...Although I am a person with boundless mana, I generally don't like to fight. It seems that I have a bad image, and now I have to wear a skirt when I come to Dongtu. How can I fight in a skirt!

So, my strange apprentice Hui An (see note 2) went to fight him, and the two of them got into a ball by the Liusha River.

My strange apprentice didn't like to talk, and neither did the unlucky honest man, so I watched them fight in distress.

At this time, I suddenly found a string of human heads hanging around the neck of the honest man.

...Wait a minute, this bunch of heads doesn't seem to be the heads of ordinary people, no matter how I look at it, I think it's very kind.

Wait a minute, this head doesn't seem to be submerged?

...Isn't this the head of the scripture learner appointed by the Buddha! ! !

In my spoiled life, a terrible variable appeared once again.I looked at the man-eating monster with red hair and fangs in front of me, and fell into deep thought.

...What about the honest man?

The author has something to say:
