When Luc Er Meihou died, Tang Tang stopped doing this to Wukong, who was really at the bottom of the golden bowl?
Sun Wukong is the main character of Journey to the West, but as all know, in Ngo Thua An’s novel, not only Wukong is a special monkey. Surely readers and audiences of Journey to the West still do not forget the segment when Tang Tang chased Wukong away, suddenly a monkey appeared out of nowhere, similar to Wukong from appearance, voice to magic power. This was one of the most difficult hurdles that Tang Tang teachers and students had to go through in order to obtain the true scriptures.
The eternal question is, in Journey to the West, is it really Sun Wukong or Luc My Hou who was destroyed by the golden bowl of Buddha. There is a conspiracy theory that, Sun Wukong is really a dead monkey because he refused to listen to the Tathagata, so he created an “obedient” Sun Wukong to replace this unruly monkey.
In fact, this is completely a conspiracy theory, because it is still recognized that Luc My Hou is the monkey that was eradicated, not Sun Wukong. Why? Let’s recall the journey of Ton Ngo Khong after being liberated from the Marble Mountains and following the Tang Tang to Tay Thien to seek sutras.
At first, Wukong is actually a rebellious man and Tang is forced to control Wukong by casting spells. Every time Sun Wukong makes a mistake, Tang Tang will punish his great self with a mantra handed down by the Bodhisattva, the most classic is probably the tribulation of beating Bach Cot Tinh three times.
But the strange thing is that, before the accident of the fake leg, My Hou Vuong, Tang Sang chanted a spell to punish Wukong many times. But as soon as Luc Er Myhou was eliminated, Tang Tang stopped doing this action with Wukong. This is one of the bases to distinguish real Wukong from fake.
There is an opinion that, Tang Tang no longer chants mantras with Wukong because he no longer makes mistakes, completely overcomes the mind of ghosts and has a heart towards Buddha, towards truth – goodness – beauty. This also means that Wukong’s maturity, no more evil desires, it has been completely eliminated and wholeheartedly protects the Tang Sangha to go to the West to get the Buddhist scriptures.
According to Sohu, in Journey to the West, especially in the case of the false legged American Hou Vuong, this issue should not be complicated. The Tathagata absolutely does not harm Wukong, only Luc Er Myhou. Because, there is a view that this fake monkey is actually the evil intentions in Wukong’s heart, and Ngo Thua An thinks that Journey to the West is actually a spiritual novel with the desire to eliminate desires. evil. When bad desires are eliminated, that’s when you attain Buddhahood. Just like when Luc Er My Hou was eliminated, the ghost mind in Wukong has also disappeared. This is the reason why Tang Sang no longer chants spells to punish his great disciple.
