I have read a lot of interpretations of "Journey to the West", but the interpretation of "Journey to the West" from the high-scoring national comic "Under One Man" is the most inspiring to me!
The interpretation is as follows:
The five internal organs of the human body can correspond to the five elements.
The heart corresponds to fire, the lungs correspond to gold, the kidneys correspond to water, the liver corresponds to wood, and the spleen corresponds to soil.
Heart and kidney, fire and water are born together, kidneys are yin, heart is yang, lonely yin is not born, lonely yang is not long.
First, goku the ape
The heart beats all the time, like a restless monkey.
Monkey si mind, so in order to exercise this monkey, to travel, the more experience, the more determined the mind, so the monkey is also called the walker.
Heart, lung, and yang germinate in extreme silence, so the heart ape can only be considered complete if it is cultivated to "emptiness", so it is called "Wukong".
2. The Eight Precepts of the Water Pig
The liver and kidneys correspond to the water sea, and this yin qi is described as a pig soaked in water.
This pig specializes in the seven passions and six desires of the people, the mouth and the slippery tongue, and the lustfulness, so to exercise this pig requires the precepts, hence the name eight precepts.
These eight precepts are the eight precepts of the Buddhist family: one precept against killing, two precepts against theft, three precepts against adultery, four precepts against false speech, five precepts against drinking, six precepts against incense, seven precepts from sitting on a high bed, and eight precepts from eating at any time.
These desires are not useless, to know what can be done and what can not be done, so the goal of this pig is to realize a word of energy, so the eight precepts of the pig are also called "enlightenment".
Third, the spleen soil is quiet
Water and fire are intolerable, so in "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong and the Eight Precepts of the Pig always quarrel.
The spleen, the five elements belong to the earth, to reconcile the heart and yang and kidney yin, so it is called a sand monk.
When there is a contradiction between yin and yang, he is responsible for playing the round field, so he himself cannot be too noisy, and he must realize a "jing" word, so the sand monk is also called "wu jing".
In "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong is the best at moving, has strong combat effectiveness, and he always rushes to the front when fighting monsters.
The opposite of Sun Wukong is the Eight Precepts of the Pig, he is full of desire, delicious and lazy, and always gives up.
Sha Monk is the most down-to-earth and hard-working, and he always reconciles contradictions between the Eight Precepts of the Pig and Sun Wukong.
If we look at it from this point of view, will it be that the so-called path of the four masters and apprentices to learn the scriptures will be the cultivation path of Only Tang Sanzang alone from beginning to end.
The so-called True Scriptures are hidden in this path of practice.
On this path of cultivation, Tang Monk needs to overcome the active jumping of the mind and keep the direction unchanged, and also overcome the eight precepts of greed and lust, delicious and lazy to prevent them from slowing down his speed.
In order not to let Sun Wukong and the Eight Precepts of the Pig spend their energy standing on the opposite side, Tang Sanzang also needed to be physically strong, and let the sand monk reconcile the contradiction between yin and yang.
Tang Sanzang sat peacefully on his horse, overcoming the thought of often running away, overcoming his seven passions and six desires that slowed him down, managing his emotional internal friction, and finally reaching the end and obtaining the True Scriptures. The True Scriptures are the path of practice.
This set of statements can be applied to every ordinary person who wants to be positive and have a healthy life.
Fourth, immediately three Tibetans
The Yuan God riding on a horse is called Sanzang.
The three treasures are usually hidden in the deepest part of our souls, and when we concentrate, the Yuan God will appear slightly to dominate us, and the Yuan God at this time is easily disturbed by distractions, and if you let the horse take the reins, you will suffer disasters.
The monkey is responsible for the mind, can not let him jump around without a sense of direction, must let him lead the rope to walk steadily, so that he can better subdue the horse, so the heart should be firm!
Among the three, the sand monk is the spleen soil, the fruit position is the golden body of the arhat, and the strong physique is also conducive to the submission of the Yi horse.
It is absolutely impossible to hand over the horse to the main liver and kidneys of the water sea, he who specializes in seven passions and six desires, once he is responsible for leading the horse, it is the beginning of the disaster.
There is a very bad-looking nerd named Li Nian in "Under One Man".
He studied his own numbers in the play, only to be trapped in the interior and unable to get out.
In reality, he is a programmer with thick lenses that no girls like, but in his own interior, he has become a very handsome, powerful super strong man with many little girls.
This is the reins of the faith horse! Let the horse God be unchecked by the monkeys and pigs to run away.
The real strong in reality need to be pragmatic and down-to-earth, and they need to endure all kinds of pain from reality.
If you can just dream about it all, who wouldn't want to live like that?
The horse that Sanzang rides is the White Dragon Horse, and the other identity of the White Dragon Horse is the Third Prince of the Western Dragon King, and he uses magic to read this Western Dragon Three, which is the Qianzhi Sanyao, which is the Gua Xiang in the I Ching:
The gentleman is dry all day long, and the sunset is fierce, and there is no blame. (Qian 3) from the I Ching.
A virtuous person (a gentleman) should be self-reliant all day long, and be careful at night as if he were in danger, and should not slacken off, so that there would be no disaster.
