Why do Buddhist members abstain from color in The Journey to the West? Tang Priest, Wukong and Bajie all have wonderful answers!

As we all know, Buddhism abstains from lust, just as the Tang Priest in The Journey to the West said,' We are monks, how can we be tempted by wealth and beauty?

Why do Buddhist members abstain from color? Is it because color is lust, and if there is lust, there is greed, and all Buddhist beings must abstain from color to get rid of the three poisons of greed, anger and delusion?

As for Buddhist members, that is, monks, abstinence, during the Meditation of the Four Saints, Tang Sanzang gave a classic Buddhist reply, and Sanzang said, "Female Bodhisattva, it's good that you are enjoying all the splendor at home, with clothes and food, and your children are reunited. But people who don't know that I am a monk also have some advantages. How can I see it? There is a poem as proof, which says: Being a monk is very original and overthrowing the former love hall. Foreign things don't give birth to gossip, but they have good yin and yang. After work, I went to Jinque and went back to my hometown. It's better than being greedy for blood at home and falling into a smelly bag. "

Tang Priest said that abstinence at home is for practice and immortality. If you don't become a monk and abstain from abstinence, the result will be' greedy for blood and food, and you will lose your skin forever'.

However, the Tang Priest's statement is untenable, because the Taoist "moving the Chinese character gate" achieves the goal of immortality by collecting yin and nourishing yang, and it is not necessary to abstain from color for longevity. Moreover, the debate between Tang Priest and White Deer in The Journey to the West was ridiculed by White Deer as "quiet Zen Buddhism, silent Yin God, Nirvana stinks, and does not take off mortal dust".

Not to mention others, Tang Yan's theory of "becoming a monk and abstinence" didn't even believe his disciples. In the original Journey to the West, the idiot said, "Nonsense! That's bullshit！ Everyone has the heart to make a fool of themselves with the old pig. As the saying goes, monks are hungry ghosts in color. Why don't you do this? We are all taking classes with disgusting words and cracking all the good things. "

Walker once said a set of theories about becoming a monk. The Monkey King once said to the monk in Che Chiguo,' Your parents gave birth to you, and you were sentenced to become a monk, or because you didn't get a sister, so you cut off the chance to become a monk'. The Monkey King once said to the Tang Priest, "Monks should not talk about their families. In the family, at this time, the hotbed is warm, holding the child in your arms, kicking your wife behind your back, and sleeping peacefully; I am waiting for a monk, where I can! It is based on the sun, the moon and the stars, eating wind and keeping water, there is a way to live, and there is no way to live. "

In other words, becoming a monk is a last resort, and it is the duty of a monk to learn from a mistake. People are doomed to die, and food and clothing are hard to care for. Do you still want to get married and have children?
