Why didn't the monster in the background die on the way to the scriptures?

If you want to go to the west from the eastern land of Datang to get the scriptures, you will naturally experience many hardships and bumps along the way. At first, Tang Priest thought that these frustrations were a test for the Tathagata, but after leaving Chang 'an to see the monster eat his followers, he didn't think so.

What does Buddhism follow? Regarding the understanding of Buddhist scriptures, Tang Yan thinks that his understanding and qualifications are already very high. The Buddhist truth of "all beings are equal" and "all beings are equal" has already penetrated into his heart. If these monsters on the way to learn the scriptures were deliberately arranged by the Tathagata, Tang Yan would be the first to stand up and refute them.

The Tang Priest's experience is amazing. He was born with a great disaster, which was counted among the eighty-one difficulties. "The golden cicada was demoted first, the second one was killed several times after giving birth, and the third full moon was thrown into the river." I have to say, I will be blessed after I survive. The story of Tang Priest really tells us a truth. He was born with three difficulties, life and death, and he was really bitter.

However, the son of Tang Priest has also grown rapidly. Soon after he became an adult, he joined the Guangjin Temple and learned about his life, so he rushed over and killed his father's enemy. Although Yang Jian failed to save his mother in those years, The Fourth Difficulty in Finding Relatives undoubtedly tells us that Tang Priest is gradually changing and growing, and he still has a long way to go to become a Buddha.

This road is the road of Buddhism. The monsters on this road are so powerful that it is absolutely impossible for Tang Priest to go there alone. Without the Monkey King, compared with this road of "Buddha's trial", it was just a joke. Even monsters have to go through the motions. If the mortal Tang Priest really passed, it would be Tathagata's face.

Play the whole set, if you want to play, you really play. Why do monsters on the way to learn from the scriptures have backers? This is not to say that the immortal deliberately made things difficult for the Tathagata to get this trial, but that the Jade Emperor played a key role behind it, as the Monkey King had long understood. At that time, the battle of Huaguoshan caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and he saw the jade emperor's means.

The imperial edict in the jade emperor's hand is the key to this. Some monsters on the Buddhist paradise want to have a fight with the Monkey King, some just come out to experience and accumulate credit, and some may really come to the human world for fun. The imperial edict of the Jade Emperor's "Bailing Lower Bound" undoubtedly gave all parties such an opportunity.

However, opportunity is also a constraint, and "catching Tang Priest doesn't necessarily hurt" may be one of them, which is also the reason why Tang Priest was taken away many times on the way to learn from the scriptures but was safe and sound. Compared with other people who have been eaten, the gap between them may be related to "Tathagata holds two disciples", or it may be because of this imperial edict that even Yang Jian and Tathagata should abide by!
