A New Journey to the West: the Road to Buddhahood from Every Stone

Introduction to the work "A New Journey to the West: The Road to Buddhahood from Every Stone" The journey to the west has long been immortalized, but few people know that the white horse carrying the four masters and disciples once crushed an inconspicuous earthly stone under its hooves. It doesn't have Wukong's magical power to reach heaven, it doesn't have Tang Monk's golden cicada destiny, and it doesn't have the immortal Buddha foundation of Bajie and Sha Monk. It only accidentally opened up its spiritual wisdom because it was contaminated with a ray of Buddha's light from the Buddhist scripture search team. From then on, it is no longer a dead thing left to be eroded by wind and rain, but has become a "spectator" on the edge of the Three Realms - watching Wukong's unwillingness under the Five Elements Mountain, listening to the concern hidden outside Bajie Gaolaozhuang, accompanying Sha Monk to count the years of loneliness at the bottom of the Liusha River, and also witnessing the struggles and tenderness on the way to seek scriptures that are not recorded on the list of gods. On the day when the merits of the Buddhist scripture-seeking team are complete, it still remains in the mortal world. Without the shortcut of Bodhisattva's enlightenment, without the luck of magic weapon to protect one's body, it can only start from the gravel at the foot of the mountain: listening to the woodcutter singing all the joys and sorrows of the world, going through the wind and sand and dangerous roads with the business travelers, realizing the "good" in the ups and downs of the mortal world, and resisting the "evil" in the cracks of the three worlds. When the legend of the former pilgrims has become a myth, this ordinary stone is using the most clumsy way to find its own "road to Buddhahood" step by step. This is not a retelling of the legend of Journey to the West, but is written for everyone who is "ordinary as a stone" - even if you are not born extraordinary, you can still persevere with one thought and persevere all the way, and live a unique "Buddha" in your own life.
