When the Tathagata suppressed Wukong on the westward journey, he not only broke his hand, but also lost one of the most important things.
Speaking of the Monkey King, what we are most familiar with is his seventy-two changes. I think the Monkey King was just a monkey at first, but he dared to jump over the waterfall and find a place of Feng Shui in water curtain cave, so he was elected as the Monkey King of Huaguoshan. Later, after three years' long journey, he worshipped bodhi bodhi bodhi ancestor.
Originally, the Monkey King was a monkey between heaven and earth, not within the three realms, not invisible. Later, he learned the seventy-two changes of the detective, plus the somersault cloud presented by Bodhi Bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi Later, I grabbed the golden hoop, stole Xiantao, and stole the elixir to a higher level, which can make the Monkey King's strength.
Later, as we all know, the Monkey King caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, which was unstoppable and the fire did not change. The Heavenly Palace was also turned upside down by the Monkey King. Finally, I can only ask the Buddhist Tathagata for help. In the westward journey, a Tathagata was portrayed as a powerful image, but he could not easily subdue the Monkey King.
The Monkey King is, after all, a monkey with the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon. He learned the seventy-two changes of detective, ate countless flat peaches and pills, and couldn't even refine them. So the Tathagata tried his best to suppress him and couldn't kill him. Why do you say that? Let me introduce you one by one.
Tathagata went to heaven with the aura of his bosses, and the Monkey King was also a bargain. He immediately knew that the other party was a malicious character. He didn't make a move, but boasted to the other party. Finally, he made a bet to see if the Monkey King could escape from the Tathagata. The Monkey King was confident in his somersault cloud, so he accepted it naturally.
As a result, the Monkey King made several somersaults and came to the end of the admission day. In order to prevent the Tathagata from playing tricks on him, the Monkey King was specially carved on the post to visit here, and he also peed below. But everyone knows it's not Tianzhu, it's Tathagata's finger.
The Monkey King just react, just want to run away. With a wave of his right hand, Tathagata turned his palm into a mountain, crushing the Monkey King under the Five Elements Mountain. Please note that the palm of Tathagata's right hand has become a five-element mountain, which means that Tathagata's right hand has become a five-element mountain, and it has become a five-element mountain to suppress the Monkey King on earth. So the saying that Tathagata broke his hand to suppress the Monkey King came from this.
But the biggest loss of Tathagata is not as simple as breaking his hand. In the original book, Tathagata and the Monkey King made a bet that if they couldn't turn it over, the lower bound was a demon, and they quarreled after robbing it several times. What they agreed at that time was that if the Monkey King didn't dig out the Tathagata's palm, he would be a demon, go through several disasters again, and then come back to heaven to compare the level of cultivation.
To sum up, the biggest loss of Tathagata is not the broken hand, but the loss of integrity. As an emissary of the Western Heaven, the honesty of the elephant trunk is also his symbol. He broke his promise and trapped the Monkey King in Wuzhishan. Although I won for a while, in the long run, I actually lost more.
