How did Little White Dragon join the Buddhist Scripture Team?

(Snail Watching Journey to the West 152)

Text/take a snail for a walk

Snails have written about this topic many times, but many readers still don't understand it. So the snail turned around and gestured to everyone.

About how Xiaobailong made progress in the economic team, the eighth time in the original book specifically described-

Bodhisattva followed Mu Cha's farewell and enlightenment, and came at last. While I was walking, I saw a jade dragon calling in the air. The Bodhisattva stepped forward and asked, "Who are you, suffering here?" Long Dao: "I am the son of Aorun, the dragon king of the West Sea." . "I burned the pearls in the temple because of arson. My father, the king, showed heaven and sued me for disobedience. The Jade Emperor hung me in the air and hit me three hundred times, and I will be punished in a few days. I hope the bodhisattva will help me. "

It can be seen from this passage that Xiao Bailong is the son of the commander-in-chief of the West Sea. His crime was burning pearls in the temple, and he was accused of disobedience. The consequence is that his head will be cut off immediately.

Guanyin, who was not good at words, immediately found the Jade Emperor in heaven, hoping to let him go and give him a leg.

Hearing this request, the jade emperor immediately agreed and asked the heaven to untie the little white dragon and give it to Guanyin. After Guanyin rescued the little white dragon, he sent it to Eagle Sadness, waiting for the scriptures to come, becoming a white horse and making contributions to the Western Heaven.

I don't know if you have noticed. Why did the little white dragon cry in the place where Guanyin must pass? As the second generation of officials, why does the father's righteousness override the family's loyalty because of a small matter? If you don't burn a gem in the temple, why do you sentence him to disobey orders or even behead him? If you want to kill your head, why not kill it earlier and show it to the public for three days?

To understand the above problems, we must first understand what is the treasure in the temple.

There are several explanations for this. CCTV 86 explained that the pearls on the temple are actually night pearls, which were given to the West Sea Dragon King by the Jade Emperor.

Why did the little white dragon burn pearls? It turned out that his wife cheated on Hydra and he found out. In the process of killing hydra with his sword, he knocked over the lamp, which caused a fire and the night pearl was burned.

When the Jade Emperor saw it, he lay in the trough and dared to burn what I gave him. He is dead! So he was sentenced to death.

In fact, there is no such bridge in the original work, and there are many unexplained places in this adaptation.

What is the night pearl? According to Baidu Encyclopedia, "it is a luminous substance in the earth, which has accumulated in minerals for tens of millions of years from the initial volcanic magma eruption to the later geological movement. Stones containing these luminous rare elements, after processing, are what people call the night pearl. "

The rock formed by volcanic magma eruption has been deposited for tens of millions of years. Would you like to throw it into the fire? Take it out and wipe the dust at most, and it will shine as well. Besides, the Dragon Palace is on fire. If you pour it with sea fire, won't it go out? It won't burn for long, it won't cause too much damage to the night pearl, and it won't be beheaded.

Therefore, this "pearl on the temple" should have another meaning, not a "night pearl" given by the Jade Emperor.

In fact, the original has a special description of what pearls are. The fifteenth time, Xiao Bailong and the Monkey King dueled, and there is a sentence in the book: "Those who need to spray colored fog under the pearl, this iron rod dances with the wind". This shows that the little white dragon is also a pearl, and it is also very aggressive in battle.

After Xiaobailong surrendered to the Tang Priest, "The Bodhisattva stepped forward, took off the pearls under Xiaolong's neck, dipped Yang Liuzhi in nectar, brushed him off, breathed the breath of the immortal and cried,' Change!'" The dragon became his first piece of horsehair. "

From this description, the pearl is actually the dragon's inner Dan!

Therefore, the "pearl on the temple" burned by Xiaobailong should be something like the inner elixir left by the ancestors, which constitutes the great sin of "disobedience and unfilial".

However, why did the little white dragon burn the inner Dan left by its ancestors? Even if it burns, it's a family conflict. Why does the West Sea Dragon King put the righteousness above the family interests?

Judging from the fact that the West Sea Dragon King cleaned up the Monkey King several times, he didn't look like an aboveboard person either.

In the third time of the original work, the Monkey King went to the East China Sea to grab the golden hoop and insisted that the old dragon king give him a pair of clothes. The Dragon King of the East China Sea was very unhappy with the demon monkey and didn't want to give him anything to wear. But I was afraid of being beaten, so I rang the doorbell and called some brothers to discuss it.

The South China Sea Dragon King's way of forbearing Qin was that dispatch troops killed his mother. The Dragon King of the West Sea finally stopped the two brothers and said, "I only put on a dress for him and sent him out of the door. The watch opened and played to heaven, which punished him."

What's the point of making a bitter plan since it's not about putting righteousness above family loyalty?

Some people boldly speculated that he was told in advance that the study group was about to be established, and he knew how many organizations there were in the new organization and what the recruitment conditions were.

The little white dragon is pampered. It has neither the ability to kill demons like the Monkey King nor the opportunity to get close to the Jade Emperor like Pig and Friar Sand. If you want to squeeze into this team, only being a driver is the most suitable!

However, the criteria for evaluating Buddhist scriptures by Tathagata and Guanyin are a bit strange. They must be young people who have committed crimes! This is easy to understand. Only those who have committed crimes are willing to suffer this and join Buddhist organizations.

So, the pioneer ventured to direct such a play, and finally, he succeeded! (In fact, even if we can't make progress, the West Sea Dragon King has a way to plead with the Jade Emperor not to kill the little white dragon's head. )

Maybe Guanyin didn't even know she was in the game of the West Sea Dragon King in the end.

At present, there are many disputes about the advantages and disadvantages of the system. Many people complain: Now that the management is strict and there is no foreign water, I want to resign early!

However, they are just shouting! How many people have you seen really quit? Or how many people dare to resign and are willing to resign?

It has been pointed out that the biggest advantage in the system is not how much money is needed (that is too risky), but the advantages of information and contacts, which ordinary people can't compare with anyway (even if they have money)!

For example, at the beginning of junior high school, the lottery must be open and transparent, which is true in all regions. There were parents' representatives, discipline inspection commission personnel and education bureau officials who recorded and supervised the whole process, but snail students told me that as long as they were elected as parents' representatives, the schools chosen by their children would not be bad. Some leading children will shake their numbers to the best schools no matter how they shake them!

It's not who these leaders greet and how much money they give, but the people who do this job naturally "know how to get up". If you are in charge of this work, try to shake the son of the director of education to the worst school? Probably long gone! This is the human value within the system!

For another example, people who are close to the core departments must know when to choose a few backbones, what conditions to choose and what to test. When ordinary people know the news, others are ready and no longer compete on the same starting line. What will you give them?

Therefore, in this era, "poor families" have long been difficult to give birth to "expensive children", and many people have to stay in the system because of grievances, only for the next generation.

Did you fight back? Pan Jun Hang School ∫? Looking for lies? Are you scared? Strange; Or like the black bear monster introduced in "Snail Watching Westward Journey", the sword goes sideways and finds another way!

I hope everyone can find a way to success for themselves and the next generation.
