But strangely, the Monkey King never thought of going to the Bodhi ancestor to untie the hoop. Even after Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon, he was exiled by the Tang Priest and returned to Huaguoshan wearing a tight hoop, but he didn't find a way to get rid of it and easily became a mountain king.
Why is this?
The reason, of course, is not someone's. The password of the hoop is set by Tathagata. Bodhi is not a locksmith, so he can't open it. It's not someone's guess. The hoop is actually a WIFI receiver, and the Monkey King wants to keep it for the red envelope.
The real reason is that snails think there are the following points.
1, Bodhi graduation message: Don't let him go back.
The second time in the original work, when his father kicked him out, he told him this sentence-
"This for you, born bad. You can't say you are my apprentice, because you will get into trouble. If you say a word, I will know. I'll skin you and file your monkey. I'll be fascinated in a quiet place and teach you that you can't turn over after all! "
You can't even mention his name, let alone go back to find him.
Perhaps even today, the Monkey King still remembers Master's stern expression, so he didn't dare to venture back to annoy Master.
(In the CCTV 86 TV series, the Monkey King knocked down the ginseng fruit tree and returned to Samsung Cave, only to find that there was no hair. Snail thinks this plot is not in line with the Monkey King's character. )
2, afraid to go back to other disciples jokes, no face.
In Bodhi College, the Monkey King is an excellent student and an example for everyone to learn and yearn for. He not only learned longevity, but also learned some awesome skills such as somersault cloud and seventy-two changes. I wonder how many other disciples he envied.
Why was the Monkey King expelled from his old school by Bodhi? Is to show off your skills in front of other disciples!
Why did he show off his skills? Because the brothers said, "Wukong, which generation did you learn from?" The day before yesterday, the teacher whispered to his father, and the method of three disasters was passed on to you. Can it be all? "Praised by my brothers, my brain turned into a pine tree when I was hot.
Unexpectedly, the pine tree became too good, and the applause alarmed Bodhi, which led to his dismissal.
Now, if he goes back in circles, what will other students think and will they laugh at him? "In those days, high flyers has now become a slave of others, worse than us!" "That year so cow force, how to sneak into panic? Also sentenced to 500 years in prison? "
The Monkey King is a man with great face. He never wants his classmates to know about his tragic events over the years, so he certainly doesn't want to go back before becoming a Buddha.
Just like today's class reunion, those who take the initiative are generally doing well. If it's worse than that, eight sedan chairs may not even be willing to attend.
3. I am worried that Bodhi is unwilling to solve it.
This hoop was actually given to Guanyin by the Tathagata, and Guanyin coaxed him into wearing it through the mouth of Tang Priest. Seemingly simple, it actually has infinite magic; The seemingly stainless steel ring actually represents a rule made by Tathagata and Guanyin.
So the Monkey King was most worried that Bodhi was unwilling to solve the problem.
Bodhi, as a hermit, is unwilling to appear in front of outsiders, especially Mr. Xi Niu Hezhou's Tathagata. I don't want to interfere in other people's affairs and upset other people's plans.
It is easy to break the ring, but difficult to eliminate the sequelae!
It is the Monkey King's head, but his heart.
The hoop seems to be worn on the head, but it is actually tied to the heart. Why is the hoop curse also called "centering truth"? To put it bluntly, it is a centering thing.
Snail also explained in the previous article that the Monkey King could not be suppressed by Wuxing Mountain, and it was Guanyin's "six-character mantra" that made him unable to climb out. Why is this "six-character mantra" so powerful? Because it can close the six doors of people's hearts, you don't even have the courage to climb up. How can you escape from the mountain above you?
So is this spell. On the surface, the scriptures read by Tang Priest are to tighten the circle, but in fact they are to control his thoughts.
For the hundredth time in the original book, after the success of the scriptures, the Monkey King asked Tang Yan to take down the hoop, and Tang Yan answered him like this-
At that time, it was just that you were not easy to manage, so you managed according to law. Since I became a Buddha, I naturally want to go. Why is it still on your head! Why don't you try?
The Monkey King touched it and it was gone.
It can be seen that the hooping spell is both tangible and intangible. Just like many rules in life, you can't see or touch them, but they restrict you at any time and prevent you from doing whatever you want. You can't get rid of this rule with a welding torch, tongs or laser cutting machine.
For example, if you want to get ahead in the system, muddle through official duties, and improve your current position, then you must take the initiative to put the system on your head, and you must accept the corresponding constraints whether you want to make sense or not. So, if you want to mix in the system, don't complain about this tight hoop!
If you really don't want to do it, you can shake your head: leave me here, leave me here! Turn around and leave smartly, and this tight hoop will naturally not cover you.
However, removing the hoop of the system does not mean removing all the hoops!
For example, if you are in the system, children will learn, apply for appraisal, and approve projects ... others will give you some face, or at least give you some information. But if you are a common people, you must accept another curse: it is possible to draw lots for children to be drawn to the worst schools; It is possible to get a permit and queue up from four in the morning to seven or eight in the evening; It is possible that a disaster fell from the sky as soon as you went out. The vice squad must have said that you came out of the footbath. ...
Some people say that life in China is too difficult, so I immigrated! But you will soon find that this is just a new hoop: there are discrimination and injustice abroad, and even wars and riots. If you don't pay attention, you will violate other people's laws and regulations and deal with it as usual. ...
Where is the world where you can do whatever you want?
As the ancients said, you just have no desire, but how can you live in this world without desire? You can't even eat, sleep or walk, can you? If there is, then there is a desire to eat better, sleep better and be flat.
Therefore, people living in the world must have desires. If they have desires, they must wear hoops of one kind or another. As long as you don't wear it, someone will stop you from satisfying this desire.
Some people may say, it's too tiring to live! Why suffer in this world?
In fact, as long as you change your mind, you can find the pleasure of getting rid of one spell after another.
For example, when you have enough ability, leaders dare not say spells easily, for fear that you will run away as soon as you read them; The higher you stand, the less hoops you wear on your head, and the more you can act according to your own ideas; When your enterprise has enough influence, you can enjoy VIP treatment when you apply for a license, which will avoid the pain of queuing.
When your child is smart enough and the development path you provide him is broad enough, even if fate arranges him to go to the worst school, he may not be able to become a talent (frustration education is also education); If he can't do it himself, going to the best school may only hurt him (his self-confidence will be constantly hit, and once a person loses self-confidence, he loses everything).
The ancients said, but if you walk up a flight of stairs, you can broaden your horizons by 300 miles. Modern people say that people don't love poverty.
To be good at dancing with long sleeves and keep elegant under high pressure, there is no other way but to constantly improve your ability and quality.
Back to the topic of why the Monkey King didn't find Bodhi's father to unlock it, if he really went back to find Master, Bodhi really unlocked it for him. Is this the Monkey King still the the Monkey King in our mind? Can such a the Monkey King be valued by Tathagata and Guanyin, revered by monsters, and even placed high hopes on Bodhi?
