What is Maitreya, the legendary successor of Tathagata?

The relationship between Tathagata and Maitreya is only reflected in The Journey to the West. The Tathagata Buddha has appeared many times, so I won't mention it here. As far as Maitreya is concerned, he only appeared once in Xiaoleiyin Temple.

He also appeared because his young man embarrassed the Monkey King. The Monkey King cried after three games, very helpless:

Just as the Great Sage was in distress, he suddenly saw a colorful cloud falling to the ground in the southwest, and it rained heavily all over the mountain. Someone called, "Wukong, do you know me?"

Don't forget to dig at the Monkey King after pouring the Monkey King into a drowned rat. When you open your eyes, do you know who I am?

When Monkey saw this, he quickly bowed down and said, "Are you going to the Buddha from the East? Disciple slipped away. All sins are unforgivable! All sins are unforgivable! "

Before that, the Monkey King was quite awesome. He doesn't even worship the jade emperor. He once said that he only worships Bodhi, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Tang Priest and Tathagata. Of course, he also worshipped Jinjiao's foster mother, the nine-tailed fox, but tears came out, but that's not true! But when I saw Maitreya, I quickly bowed down.

Not only did he bow down, but he also said that he was evasive and sinful!

Excuse me, which immortal in The Journey to the West can be so arrogant that others must avoid it when they see it. Is it a sin not to avoid it?

Only Maitreya did it, and it was aimed at the Monkey King.

So is Maitreya really such a person?

Yes, if Maitreya didn't punish those who didn't avoid it, then why did the Monkey King say he would do it? Obviously, this the Monkey King has long known that Maitreya is very powerful. In order to avoid his own pain, he immediately showed his guilt, confessed first, and maybe was forgiven. This vicious, even the Tathagata Buddha than sigh.

Later, when I was appeasing the Huangmei monster, anyway, this Huangmei monster was still my own boy, my own person. Oh, we saw someone else's boy or mount descend to earth, and the master came and took him away, without making it difficult for his boy at all. But this Maitreya Buddha was off-center, so he had to make suggestions and let the Monkey King drill into his stomach, kick him and make him suffer.

Finally said a words:

Maitreya showed his true colors and cried with a smile, "Evil beast! Do you recognize me? "

Obviously, this Maitreya Buddha said this on purpose, saying, "Do you know me?" Show his malice to the fullest. Isn't this knowing perfectly well past ask?

In fact, he said this not only to the young man, but also to the Monkey King.

Before that, he also said a word to the Monkey King:

I am the master of the world, and I have a good eye. Don't I know you? I know what you've become ...

What he said here is of great significance and shows his attitude. Obviously, his learning from the Monkey King and others, including Tathagata, has violated his rights and interests. He can't stand it any longer. He must show his cards and throw cold water on the Monkey King. Don't think that just because the Tathagata trusts you, you think you can become a Buddha in the future. It depends on whether I agree or not!

Then I wrote him a meaningful sentence, a what sentence?

One word "forbidden"!

This is a master. A master never tells his intentions directly, and he can only rely on others to guess. Masters never use serious weapons, and everything they see can be weapons.

This word is the most awesome weapon, such as the six-character mantra used by the Tathagata Buddha:

"Rock takes root and grows in perfect harmony."

Guanyin Bodhisattva can also use Chinese characters. For example, when she appeased Hong Haier, she used the word "Fan", which was also effective.

Actually, it's about the pass. Huangmei boy found that the Monkey King and others had no pass and detained them directly. The Monkey King just wanted to question it. As a result, the red-headed document (gold foil) was smashed out. "Buddhism is a special law enforcer." The Monkey King was dumbfounded.

In the end, I had no choice but to look for relationships everywhere, looking for 28 stars, looking for Buddha and Bodhisattva, and looking for Zhenwu Emperor, all of which were useless. People just won't let them go! Finally, he was told that only Maitreya's notes were valid. Sure enough, Maitreya gave a piece of paper, showed it to Huangmei and understood it at a glance. Let me go.

This is too common in China society!

Therefore, Maitreya is a tough person and hopes others will act according to his rules!
