It is said that the four masters and disciples of Tang Monk went through ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties to obtain the true scriptures in the West. That is also a beautiful story! Everyone knows that obtaining the true scripture is inseparable from the friendship and unity between the four masters and disciples in times of adversity, but there is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever. Now that we have obtained the sutra, we naturally have to go back to our homes and find our mothers.
As soon as Tang Monk returned to the Tang Dynasty, he became the abbot of a high temple (employed by the emperor with a high salary), opening forums every day to lecture and promote Buddhism; Bajie became the envoy of the Purification Altar, which was enough money; Sha Monk went to heaven to become an Arhat and guarded the Nantian Gate. Although it was a bit hard, the salary was still enough. After all, Nantian Gate is still very important!
On the other hand, Sun Wukong only has the title of "Fighting and Victorious Buddha". Now that the world is at peace, where did so many goblins come from to beat him? I can only retire early and be idle at home. But there is a large nest of monkeys of all ages on Huaguo Mountain for him to raise, and he has to buy gifts for his masters and brothers during the holidays. How can a small amount of pension be enough? Do you want him to rob? Do you want to live this day again?
