Chapter 15 Chapter 1 Master Guanyin——Successfully be a good female subordinate

In the hearts of the world, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is merciful and merciful, and he is regarded as one of the most respectable gods, but in the world, Avalokitesvara was greatly slandered by Wu Chengen. The Guanyin Bodhisattva in the book, at first glance, is still amiable and respectable, but upon closer inspection, there are many shortcomings.First of all, she is not aboveboard and loves to play tricks. When Sun Wukong and Erlang God fought and couldn't resolve the dispute, the Bodhisattva, who is admired by all, could propose such a despicable idea of ​​attacking Sun Wukong with a jade bottle, which is enough to show the darkness of Guanyin's heart.Of course, if the evidence is weak and does not have strong probative force based on this point alone, I will give a few more examples.

The fourteenth chapter of the original work - the old mother (transformed by Guanyin) said: "I have this cotton cloth collar and a gold flower hat. It was originally used by my son. He only served as a monk for three days, and unfortunately he died. I just went to his temple, cried a lot, resigned his master, and brought these two coats and hats as a memory. Elder, since you have a disciple, I will give you this coat and hat " Sanzang said: "I accept the gift from my old mother, but my apprentice has already left and dare not accept it." The old mother said: "He went to the other side?" Sanzang said: "I heard a cry, he went back east. It's gone." The old mother said: "Not far to the east is my home, and I must have gone to my home. There is also a mantra in my place, called the mantra of reassurance, also known as the mantra of tight hoop. You can read it secretly and remember it In your heart, don’t let anyone know. I will catch up with him and tell him to come back to you, but you wear this hat with him. If he refuses to obey your orders, you can silently recite this mantra. Dare to go." Hearing this, Sanzang bowed his head in thanks.The old mother turned into a golden light and went back east.Sanzang knew that it was Guanyin Bodhisattva who taught this mantra, so he hurriedly picked up earth, burned incense, and looked eastward to worship earnestly.

Avalokitesvara in this section tells a lot of lies, which even makes the author blush.If it is said that Avalokitesvara fabricated some nonsense in order not to show her real body to avoid Tang Seng's suspicion, then why did she turn into a golden light in the end and go back east?There were many lies before, and the last ray of golden light was not an upright act at all. In addition, when subduing the black bear spirit, the prominent Guanyin Bodhisattva did not hesitate to destroy his image and turned into a snake spirit, tricking the black bear into eating the elixir transformed by Monkey King; Guanyin Bodhisattva actually pretended to be deaf and dumb, and used a treasured sword to transform into a fake lotus platform to lure the red boy into being fooled...

Guanyin shot again and again, never confronting the enemy in an upright manner, but always conspiring and laying out tricks.In this regard, the author will not say more, and talk about the second shortcoming of Avalokitesvara. We can find that from the beginning to the end, only Guanyin Bodhisattva released two pets into the lower world as demons, one is the king of inspiration, and the other is Sai Taisui; and only she took two grassroots monsters back to become a real fruit, one is the bear spirit, One is Red Boy.The king of inspiration eats boys and girls, and Sai Taisui is promiscuous. These two monsters are extremely wretched, but they are the pets of Guanyin Bodhisattva.Xiong Yujing is the hero of the demons, and Honghaier is even younger and heroic. After these two tyrannical monsters were subdued by Guanyin, Guanyin did not report to the Jade Emperor, but directly took them into his pocket.And when Avalokitesvara went to Chang'an to look for Buddhist scriptures, the land and city gods all over the city came out to welcome him, and even vacated his own temple for Avalokitesvara to stay... From these things, it can be seen that Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is extremely lax in his rule and handles affairs. He also loves to engage in privileges, which is the second biggest shortcoming of Guanyin.

Is Guanyin's real ability strong?It is not stated clearly that Guanyin did not dare to act when Sun Wukong made a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace; after Sun Wukong converted to Buddhism, Guanyin did not dare to put a magic spell on Sun Wukong; Obedient to the mercy; when the real and fake Monkey King made troubles in Luojia Mountain, Guanyin Bodhisattva, who has always been able to pinch and count, was helpless... This is the third shortcoming of Avalokitesvara, the supernatural power is not outstanding, and there is no good plan when encountering problems. To sum up, Zhongguanyin Bodhisattva's heart is not bright, her rule is not strict, her Buddha nature is not outstanding, and her supernatural powers are not outstanding, but she has always been a very active figure in the middle school.Her full name is Great Mercy and Great Compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva, respected by the Jade Emperor, respected by the Tathagata, respected by immortals and Buddhas, admired by the world, going to heaven and earth, and having both sides. The author has to say that Guanyin Bodhisattva is the most successful female civil servant in China.

In fact, in the Buddhist scriptures, Guanyin Bodhisattva is not ranked the highest, even lower than Manjushri and Samantabhadra. On Mount Sumeru, Manjusri and Samantabhadra seldom show up, and other Bodhisattvas can be regarded as not mentioned, just as soy sauce. Bodhisattva, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Bodhisattvas of the Pure Sea, Lotus Pond Sea Meeting Buddha Bodhisattva, Bodhisattvas of Western Paradise Bliss, Three Thousand Bodhisattvas, Five Hundred Aruo Bodhisattvas, Bhikshu Yisani Bodhisattvas , Boundless Infinite Dharma Bodhisattva, King Vajra Bodhisattva), and became the one with the most appearances, the best reputation, and the most favored one by the Tathagata Buddha among the Twelve Bodhisattvas. Why is this?

In real life, there are also many people like Guanyin Bodhisattva, who are not outstanding in business and hands-on ability, but they are favored by the leaders and their grace is not fading. The reason for this may be found in Guanyin Bodhisattva. Come up with some clues. First, Guanyin is extremely cautious when encountering major events, and never takes action when he is not sure of victory.This kind of character has created a phenomenon, that is, Avalokitesvara will never mess things up, and left a deep impression on his leader Tathagata, that is, Avalokitesvara's ability is extremely strong.This character of Avalokitesvara is especially reflected when Sun Wukong makes troubles in the Heavenly Palace.Avalokitesvara went to the Peach Blossom Fair, saw that all the gods were not seated, there was a lot of discussion, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother looked sad, and after asking, they found out that it was Monkey King who made the trouble.What did Guanyin do after listening to Jade Emperor's description of Monkey King?When the Bodhisattva heard the words, Hui An Xingzhe said: "You can quickly go down to the Huaguo Mountain to find out how the army is doing. If you encounter an enemy, you can help each other. You must answer the truth." When Guanyin heard that the heaven was in trouble, he didn't He was not in a hurry to express his opinion, nor did he fully believe Jade Emperor's description of Sun Wukong, but sent Hui'an Xingzhe to inquire about the military situation first, and he had to answer truthfully.When Hui'an Xingzhe was defeated after more than 50 rounds, Guanyin "bowed his head and thought", I am afraid that there are a lot of things to think about. His big disciple Hui'an Xingzhe lost after more than 50 rounds, so can he beat Monkey King? ?Not sure, what should I do?Find someone to clean up Monkey King for yourself.who?Erlang should be able to.So there is a scene where Guanyin recommends Erlang God to fight.Just imagine, if you compete to do small things, and let others do big things, how can things go wrong?

Second, Guanyin is good at sharing worries for leaders.Under normal circumstances, as long as the Tathagata has something to do (such as looking for Buddhist scriptures), Guanyin Bodhisattva will be the first to stand up and say: "Disciple is willing to go!" Yes, attitude is everything, for such a subordinate, any leader will like it when they meet.And you always do things, and the leader will be inseparable from you without knowing it, and will regard you as his right-hand man, how can there be less honor and favor? Third, Guanyin is good at creating a good image.Among them, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is the most popular image spokesperson of Buddhism. Not only is he outstanding in appearance, he is also good at dressing up. How could Lord Buddha not like your female disciple?

Fourth, Guanyin is good at public relations and communication.It can be seen from the original book that Guanyin Bodhisattva is the one who has the most frequent contact with the heaven among all the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, monks and nuns in Buddhism. She is very familiar with the Taishang Laojun, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother. They are all easy to use, and can almost be regarded as a tool for communication between Lingshan and Tiangong, and an indispensable diplomatic talent for Tathagata. Fifth, Guanyin can always save face for leaders.The most typical one is when the six-eared macaque disturbs the Three Realms. I actually don’t think that the majestic Guanyin Bodhisattva can’t tell who is real and who is fake. Even if she really can’t tell, she should know the classification of all living things in the world, right? .But when the Tathagata asked, Avalokitesvara took the lead and said "I don't know anything", so the Tathagata said happily, you see, you don't even know if you have supernatural powers, in fact, it is classified in this way... This is more for the Tathagata. During the eloquent speeches, the desire to express was greatly satisfied, can you not feel happy?

This reminds me of He Shen, the favorite minister of the Qianlong period in the Qing Dynasty. He served as the chief scholar, the foreman of the military minister, and also in charge of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Punishment, the Lifan Academy, and the Three Treasurys of the Ministry of Households. He was also a bachelor of the Imperial Academy , "Siku Quanshu", the chief executive officer, the minister of the guards, the commander of the infantry and other important positions, can be said to be the most responsible person in the world to share the worries of the leaders.He Shen's image is also good, with fair skin, handsome face, and humble speech, Qianlong felt refreshed when he saw it.He Shen was also good at communicating, flattering horses and beards, flattering everything, and knowing Mongolian, Tibetan, Manchu, Chinese, and English. He was the number one diplomat in the Qing Dynasty.Of course, He Shen is also well versed in the characteristics of leaders who love to show off. When compiling books and poems, he always made a few typos on purpose and let Qianlong pick them out.

Looking at it this way, why is He Shen so similar to Guanyin?Could it be that He Shen is a master of research, secretly using Guanyin in the novel as an object of imitation?The author joked, and let’s get down to business, how to win the favor of leaders, in short, is to be cautious in situations, do what you can, be obedient, have sharp eyesight, work hard, have a good image, good eloquence, and those who are good at giving leaders opportunities to express themselves are the most favored by leaders. favor.
