What did Sha Monk do before studying for Buddhist scriptures that benefited Guanyin the most?

Before entering the Buddhist scripture gathering team, Guanyin Bodhisattva made promises to Tang Monk’s disciples. The promise to Sun Wukong was to help him achieve enlightenment, to Zhu Bajie to forgive his sins, and to Sha Monk. After the official was restored to his original position, among these three, who made the best promise to Guanyin Bodhisattva?

Of course it’s Sha Seng! Let’s first look at Sun Wukong’s promise. There is a lot of room for activities to achieve Zhengguo. The lowest standard is to become an Arhat, which is considered to be Zhengguo, and avoid the suffering of reincarnation. The highest standard is to become a Buddha. Generally speaking, what you promise to others is the lowest, just like the slogan that stores often put up: Our products start at ten yuan. You feel it is very cheap, but the item you take a photo of after entering must not be ten yuan.

Sha Seng

The promise given to Zhu Bajie is obvious, that is, to absolve him of his previous sins. Zhu Bajie's sins are not small. He molested Chang'e, overturned the Bullfighting Palace, and ate the Queen Mother's Ganoderma lucidum. Cai, after he succeeds in learning the scriptures, these sins can be forgiven, that's all. The promise given to Sha Seng was very high. He would be reinstated, which meant that not only would all his previous sins be offset, but he would also be able to resume his post as General of the Rolling Curtain. Judging from Sha Monk's performance during the sutra study, it was average. Why was the promise given to him by Guanyin Bodhisattva the best? The status of Sha Seng

Judging from the status of Sha Seng, he is worthy of such a huge cost paid by Guanyin Bodhisattva. Although Sun Wukong is the Monkey King and Zhu Bajie is the Marshal of Tianpeng, Sha Seng is obviously more important in the eyes of the Jade Emperor because he is the Jade Emperor's personal bodyguard, just like the eunuchs and bodyguards around the ancient emperors. They are highly valued by the emperor. , even the princes, generals and ministers had to be fawned over. Sha Monk once said boldly: I am the most respected person in Nantianmen, and I am the most respected person in front of Lingxiao Hall. This is something that neither Sun Wukong nor Zhu Bajie can do.

The success or failure of Sha Monk’s Buddhist scriptures

In addition, whether Sha Monk joins the Buddhist scriptures team will directly affect the success or failure of the Buddhist scriptures plan. We know that Tang Seng was a good man who practiced cultivation for ten generations. In other words, Jin Chanzi became Tang Seng only after his tenth reincarnation. This means that all the first nine times of seeking scriptures failed. Jin Chanzi is the second disciple of the Tathagata, and he definitely has no magical power. It has to be said, but he still failed the first nine times. Why?

The reason is very simple. When Jin Chanzi's ninth life was studying for Buddhist scriptures, he was killed by Sha Monk when he walked to Liusha River. As for the reason for being killed, it may be that Jin Chanzi's magic power is not lower than Sha Monk's, or it may be that Sha Monk's backing is too strong, and Jin Chanzi can only choose to perish. No matter which one, it can be seen that Sha Monk directly affects the success or failure in the process of seeking scriptures.

Jin Chanzi’s best choice

If we understand this relationship, the best plan to ensure the smooth progress of the Buddhist scripture learning plan comes out. Yes, it is to recruit Sha Seng into the Buddhist scripture learning team. , when the biggest enemy becomes one's own, will learning from the experience fail again? The rest of the disasters were brought about by the Buddhist sect through every possible means and through connections, and would not have any impact on the plan to retrieve the scriptures at all.

So it is the best choice to let Sha Monk join the Buddhist scripture learning team. On the one hand, they can successfully cross the Liusha River, and on the other hand, Sand Monk is a celebrity of the Jade Emperor, which makes it convenient for the Jade Emperor to monitor the whole process of the scripture collection team. In the end, no force dares to conflict with the Jade Emperor head-on, so learning from the experience will of course succeed.

Sha Monk

Sha Monk ate golden cicada seeds 9 times before taking the scriptures, which directly determined the success or failure of the Buddhist scriptures, so of course he has a great importance in the heart of the Buddhist sect. Since Sha Monk is so important, so of course he has to hire a team to collect scriptures. Therefore, Guanyin Bodhisattva’s commitment to Sha Monk is the best and the highest standard. However, after the sutra collection is over, Sha Monk is not as important as before. In addition, during the sutra collection He was very passive on the way, and the task was not very heavy (just holding the horse). Based on his performance, Tathagata only gave him the role of a golden Arhat. Although the golden Arhat is not as prominent as the Curtain General, he has escaped the suffering of reincarnation and is in the same Bodhisattva position as Guanyin Bodhisattva, which is not bad.
