First, the reincarnation of the golden cicada The Tang Priest in The Journey to the West is the reincarnation of the golden cicada, actually a disciple of the Tathagata. Because when the Tathagata preached, Jin Chan was disrespectful and turned a blind eye to the Tathagata, and was demoted to ten generations of disciples, that is, the Tang Priest who was later reincarnated. The eighty-one difficulties that Tang Priest experienced in the process of obtaining scriptures were also designed by the Tathagata to punish his disciples, with the aim of restraining the golden cicada and helping him become a Buddha.
Secondly, as a disciple of the Tathagata, the golden cicada is more suitable to be sent by an Antarctic fairy. According to the writing of Journey to the West, the Tang Priest really went through 81 difficulties before reaching Tianzhu. When he arrived in Tianzhu, he was knocked over by an old turtle into the river and wet the scriptures. At that time, Wukong said a very reasonable sentence. Heaven and earth are incomplete, and the scriptures are incomplete. On Huigen, Wukong is no worse than Tang Priest, and Tathagata is given a lighter punishment. Therefore, the golden cicada shoulders the task of reincarnation and has a noble position. It needs a person of status like the Antarctic Xianweng to send his son. ?
In the Journey to the West, the Antarctic immortal Weng is a very powerful figure, and his status is actually similar to that of the Tathagata. As a disciple of the Tathagata, Tang Priest was reincarnated in the belly of a rich girl, and his father was also the top scholar of the Tang Dynasty, Chen Guangrui. Therefore, such an important person needs experts to send his son, and the Antarctic fairy is the most suitable. Tang priest also successfully brought Buddhism to all parts of the world.
