Taoism sees why Feng Shui invites Tathagata.

In the Journey to the West, the Monkey King made a scene in the Heavenly Palace, and thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals in the sky could not help him. In fact, there are not many powerful people in heaven, such as Yuanshi Tianzun, Zhenwu Emperor and others. However, the Jade Emperor traveled across the ocean and went to the west to ask the Buddha to give it to the Tathagata. Why on earth is this?

Many people think that the reason why the Jade Emperor invited Tathagata is because Taoist immortals are not as powerful as Tathagata. In fact, this statement is very bad. Because in "Monkey King", when I worshipped Tang Priest as my teacher and escorted Tang Priest to fetch Buddhist scriptures from the West, many monsters in the Monkey King couldn't beat them, so they all went to heaven to ask for reinforcements. From this perspective, there are still many capable people in heaven.

Don't talk about others, let's talk about the old gentleman. Taishang Laojun can not only refine Dan medicine, but also possess many magic weapons. Any magic weapon can make the Monkey King bow to his knees, and even the golden cudgel in the Monkey King's hand comes from the old man. The first time I caught the Monkey King, it was also the credit of the old gentleman, King Kong Zhuo.

However, after the Monkey King was arrested, the old gentleman volunteered and took the initiative to take the responsibility of eliminating the Monkey King. After hearing this, the Jade Emperor was overjoyed and agreed without saying anything. With the help of the old man, no matter what monster, it can be reduced to ashes. Even if it is not reduced to ashes, he can still move easily.

But what about the result? After 7749 days' refining by the old gentleman, the Monkey King not only failed to turn to ashes, but became weaker and worse. Taishang Laojun is the ancestor of Taoism, much older than the Jade Emperor and the Tathagata. Will he guess this situation? Taishang Laojun is obviously releasing water. Therefore, the jade emperor can't count on the old gentleman.

In addition to the great old gentleman, there is also a Zhenwu Emperor in Taoism, who has conquered countless demons in his life, and naturally he will conquer a the Monkey King. But the duty of Zhenwu Emperor is to protect the north. Can't leave without leave easily, so the Monkey King invited Zhenwu Emperor to fight Huang Fengguai, but didn't invite him, which shows that Zhenwu Emperor is more difficult to invite.

As for the original Buddha, the qualifications of the original Buddha are also older than that of the Jade Emperor. Although the Buddha is not as strong as the jade emperor, his mana is higher than that of the jade emperor, and there are many means. But the primitive Buddha is an elder, and he can't easily bother his elders with anything. Other powerful people in heaven are also roughly similar to this situation.

In terms of qualifications, Tathagata is similar to the jade emperor, but slightly lower than the jade emperor. In addition, Buddhism and Taoism were closely related at that time, which can be seen from the invitation of Guanyin Bodhisattva to dinner at the Flat Peach Festival, so the jade emperor had a good relationship with the Tathagata.

Therefore, if you want to find someone to help surrender the Monkey King, it is more appropriate to find Tathagata. I think we all have this experience. When we encounter difficulties outside, we usually think of our friends and brothers first, and we will not disturb our parents and elders unless we have to. The jade emperor invited the Tathagata for this reason. What do you think of this matter?
