Tathagata Buddha was invited to surrender to Wukong. Five hundred years have passed. On this day, when he was giving a lecture to the Buddhas, he mentioned the situation of the four major continents in the world. There was a lot of killing and fighting, so he decided to pass on the Tripitaka Sutra, which encourages people to do good.

However, the sutras should not be passed down lightly, nor should they be taken in vain, nor should they be given away in vain. They must send a highly respected monk who has traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers to get them in person. Only then can the preciousness of the sutras be shown. The Buddha asked who was willing to go to Dongtu University. Tang is looking for Buddhist scriptures?

Before he finished speaking, Guanyin Bodhisattva took the initiative to come over and said he was willing to accept this task. Tathagata Buddha was overjoyed when he saw this and said that no one else could go, but only Avalokitesvara, because she has great supernatural powers.

Why did Guanyin Bodhisattva take the initiative to accept this task, and why did Tathagata Buddha say that she had to do it?

It turns out that this matter had been arranged thirty years ago.

Thirty years ago, Tang Seng's father, Chen Guangrui, was the top scholar in high school. He was Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and was granted the title of Lord of Jiangzhou. He also married Yin Wenjiao, the daughter of Prime Minister Yin Kaishan. On his way to his appointment, he traveled to Hongjiang , where he was a water thief. Because Liu Hong coveted Yin Wenjiao's beauty, he killed Chen Guangrui and pretended to be him to take office, and occupied Yin Wenjiao.

Because Yin Wenjiao is pregnant, she can only endure hardships in order to take revenge after giving birth to a child. On the day of delivery, she was in unbearable pain and fainted to the ground. Someone in her spiritual consciousness told her:

"I am the Lord of the South Pole Star, and by the decree of Guanyin Bodhisattva, I specially send this child to you. In the future, my reputation will be great, and it will be extraordinary." "

It turns out that Jin Chanzi reincarnated Tang Monk was sent to Yin Wenjiao by Guanyin Bodhisattva on behalf of Nanji Xingjun. Why didn't Guanyin Bodhisattva send it in person? Because at that time Mahayana Buddhism had not yet spread to Nanzhan Continent, where there was still In the traditional territory of Taoism , it is not convenient for Guanyin Bodhisattva to appear.

However, Jin Chanzi was the second disciple of Tathagata Buddha. Tathagata Buddha valued and looked forward to him very much, so Guanyin Bodhisattva did not dare to be careless and had to entrust Nanjixing Lord to deliver it in person. Moreover, he was assigned a very powerful master - Monk Faming. This eminent monk "had obtained the secret of non-life". It was from this time that Tang Monk's relationship with Buddhism began.

Why did you choose Tang Seng to go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures? The passage has already made a conclusion about Tang Seng, saying that he will definitely become famous and achieve extraordinary things in the future.

It can be seen from this passage that the Tang monk who was reincarnated by Jin Chanzi was a specialized talent personally designated by Tathagata Buddha, personally sent by Guanyin Bodhisattva, and personally trained by the eminent monk Faming. This is his destiny. If he does not go Will not work.

Later, when he was studying scriptures in the West, he went to the Gegubu Golden Temple in Tianzhu at the foot of Lingshan . Tang Monk had a conversation with the old abbot. The old abbot asked him how old he was. Tang Monk said:

"Forty-five years have been wasted."

Here we are leaving. Lingshan was already very close, and Tang Monk and the others arrived at Lingshan very quickly. It took them fourteen years to go to the West for Buddhist scriptures. From this, it is estimated that Tang Monk should have been thirty-one years old when he set out for Buddhist scriptures from the West.

Therefore, the Tathagata Buddha may have started planning with Guanyin Bodhisattva more than 30 years ago to study Buddhist scriptures in the West. Why should Guanyin Bodhisattva be selected as the commander-in-chief? She is also one of the five elders in heaven, deeply respected by the Jade Emperor , and all the great gods also give him face. What's more, she is more loved than others in the human world, so she has to be the one.
