In Tang's team, Tang's monk is authoritative as a leader. He has a clear goal of going to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures, and he has firm perseverance. Therefore, his team is a very authoritative team, so they can overcome the eighty-one difficulties on the way to learn from the scriptures and finally make a positive result. Just like the Tang Priest team, an ideal team should have four types of people like the Tang Priest team. If you have these four kinds of people, then such a team is a strong team. Maybe some people will be confused. In fact, from the analysis of the Tang Priest team, their roles among the four Tang Priests can be said to be very clear.

Tang's monk is the virtue in the team of learning from the scriptures, and virtue leads the team, so Tang's monk has both ability and political integrity; The Monkey King, a great disciple of Tang Priest, is a capable person in the team, while a sage can overcome difficulties. No wonder the Monkey King, the monster in Journey to the West, always takes the lead, and there are more than that. Pig Bajie, the second disciple of Tang Priest, is a wise man in the team. Wise men give advice. Zhu Bajie didn't perform very well in Journey to the West, but his communication skills were excellent. Not only does the Tang Priest have special respect for him, but even the daily alms are made by Pig Bajie. As for Sha Wujing, the third disciple of Tang Priest, he is a laborer with strong execution. Just like Friar Sand's performance in The Journey to the West, he always pays silently, and his personality orientation is hard work and simplicity.

It is the main story told by Four Great Classical Novels and The Journey to the West to reveal why Tang Priest wanted to learn from Tang Priest. It is recorded in the book that Tang Priest had a rough childhood and has been listening to Buddha in Jinshan Temple since he was adopted by an old monk in Jinshan Temple. When he grew up, he made great achievements in Buddhism. Emperor Taizong became sworn to him and called him the royal brother. Why does the Tang Priest with such a high social status want to learn from the scriptures?

In fact, the Tang Priest's scriptures are related to his childhood experience. Before the Tang Priest was born, his father was killed by traitors and his mother was forcibly taken away. So the Tang Priest went to Jinshan Temple and studied Buddhism all the time. Mahayana Buddhism is used to educate and influence all living beings. If everyone knew Buddhism and did good deeds according to Buddhist scriptures, there would be no such incident as Tang Priest, so Tang Priest's heart was full of respect for Buddhism.

Why Tang Priest wants to learn from the scriptures is also related to his past life. Tang Priest was reincarnated by Jin Chan in his previous life, and Jin Chan did not listen to the Tathagata. The Buddha thought he insulted the Buddhist scriptures, so he came to the world and asked him to experience it again. Jin Chan was reincarnated for the tenth time, and all of them became Buddhists. They were all good people. Re-learn the scriptures, complete the experience and return to Lingshan again.

Another point is related to the Tang Priest's own wishes. The reason why Tang's Buddhist attainments are high is not only his good understanding, but also his personal love. At that time, because of the interruption of the scriptures, many of them were difficult to distinguish, and the Western Heaven was the birthplace of Buddhism and was in its heyday, where the Tang Priest's doubts about Buddhist scriptures could be best answered. Therefore, Tang Priest himself is very willing to learn from the scriptures.

The Tang Priest in The Journey to the West really got the true scriptures and returned to the Eastern Tang Dynasty, making outstanding contributions to promoting Buddhism.
