Huiming: Copycat Tathagata Tathagata can be said to be a household name in China. Although he is not an authentic Chinese spiritual leader, his profoundness has been consciously passed down by people of all ages. Even today, when something happens, no matter what the leader says, he still has to pay homage to the Buddha Tathagata to truly feel at ease. After Chen En's journey to the west, the Tathagata's ability to call the wind and rain, and point out where to suppress is even more extraordinary. There is almost nothing in the world that cannot be solved. No matter how many Wukong monkeys play with sticks, it will be useless. This makes people less curious about monkeys, especially those high-ranking people who dream of becoming Tathagata. The yellow-browed boy under Maitreya Buddha was one who had evil thoughts because of his worship of the Lord Buddha. Children's fantasies have a reason. Because my family was an extraordinary person, I was often around Maitreya Buddha, and I was in contact with people from the Celestial Dynasty. I had a lot of experience, so I felt like I would be someone in the future. Secondly, he is tall. Regardless of the hundreds of civil and military officials of the Celestial Dynasty, they are lined up on both sides, but not many of them are decent. Many of them are just official hats with high official hats, which only heighten the stature. But the yellow-browed boy was extraordinary. Not only was he superior in stature, but he also had an abominable face. He was especially attracted by Maitreya Buddha and had an eye-catching appearance. He was like a little horseman in the human world, attracting countless low-ranking officials and female admirers for no reason. Third, they will imitate the words and deeds of experts. How can I not recite sutras when I am always next to the Buddha, even if I change into the Buddha? No, Tang Seng and his disciples, who had given up their old ways and wanted to learn Western learning, happened to meet this yellow-browed boy. Knowing that Tang Monk was eager to seek scriptures and become rich, Huang Meixiaoer transformed himself into Xiaoleiyin Temple on the Road to the West, and pretended to be the Tathagata Buddha himself with a kind look on his face. After going through a lot of hardships, Tang Monk saw the auspicious clouds lingering, heard the bells and drums whirling, and carefully identified the smell of Buddhist songs and red songs, so he concluded that the Western Paradise had arrived, so he dove in and worshiped the statue as soon as he saw it, regardless of whether it was true or false. Just like the people in the world, when they see the square turned into grass, they think that God's grace is like nectar, and they are full of praise. But the Tang monks never knew that the yellow-browed boy was tired of his little secret position in heaven, so he took Maitreya unprepared and came down to earth to live a Buddhist experience. But Buddha is something that ordinary people can do! Whether the Buddha is in heaven or in the human world, his heart and face are the same and he is always compassionate. As for the stars in the sky, even though they look like humans in the sky, they look like monsters when they fall to the ground. Marshal Tianpeng is so majestic, but he looks like a pig when he falls to the ground. Just like the ministers assigned to the frontiers in the human world, the yellow-browed child showed his lustful, greedy and vicious features when he fell. He either went to Gao Laozhuang to have fun, or used the mace in the sky to beat black people. In the end, even Tang Monk and the monkey were put into the demon bag, and he deceived the people that he was the yellow-browed old Buddha. The Tathagata can tolerate the inaction of all sentient beings, but it will never allow the demons in the world to wave flags and shout, clamor for rebellion, become independent on the mountain, and call themselves kings and Buddhas. Even if you have the flesh and blood of the immortal family, and you are a bustling Tathagata, and you are praising the heaven, I, the Buddha, still won’t tolerate you!于是顷刻之间,魔力全被消了去,黄眉还是黄眉,但老佛褪回了小儿,再也没了做山寨如来的念。 Fortunately, heaven and man are still not as good as one, and the true Buddha is still compassionate and protects his own fairyland. Otherwise, if the monkey came out and gave them a beating, the villagers would have become a pile of flesh and blood.
