He went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures and became a Buddha. But the real disaster lies at the foot of Lingshan Mountain.
Tang Sanzang, the Buddha of Zhantan Merit, discovered that at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, monks and officials were amassing money, false Buddhas were running rampant, and evil spirits were wearing cassocks and devouring faith. The people burned incense and knelt down to worship, but their homes were broken and people died.
Sun Wukong killed a demonic monk with a stick, but was severely punished by Lingshan's precepts: "Buddhas do not kill."
Zhu Bajie wanted to save the hungry people from fire and water, but was scolded: "Buddha does not interfere in the mortal world."
When the strict rules and precepts become the accomplice of suffering, when the ambition to save all sentient beings becomes empty talk, Tang Seng and his disciples face the final question:
We go through hardships and become Buddhas, and then what?
This time, there is no scripture to go by. They will trample the lotus platform to pieces, protect the people with war, and ask the Buddha by walking - at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, they will create their own path to salvation.
