Excerpts of famous quotes from Journey to the West

1. When the monks heard the question, they suddenly raised their heads and looked at the outsider. They had long mouths and big ears. His body is thick, his back is broad, and his voice is like thunder. The appearance of the monk and the monk is even uglier. All the monks in the hall were afraid. Zha Li is still reciting the sutra, and the leader of the class teaches him to stop. It is difficult to care about chimes and bells, and the Buddha statue is left behind. We blew out the lamps together, and the light suddenly scattered. Falling and climbing, the threshold has never been crossed! Your head hits my head, like an inverted gourd stand. A good Taoist temple is turned into a big joke.

2. But there were two wise men on the bank of the Jing River outside Chang'an City: one was a fisherman named Zhang Shao; the other was a woodcutter named Li Ding. The two of them were Jinshi without passing the imperial examination and Shanren who could read. One day, in the city of Chang'an, they sold firewood on their shoulders and carp in the basket. They went into the tavern together, ate half heartily, each carrying a bottle, and walked back slowly along the bank of the Jing River.

3. But it is said that the name of this mountain is Longevity Mountain, and there is a temple in the mountain called Wuzhuang Temple. There is an immortal in the temple, the Taoist name is Zhen Yuanzi, and he is named Tongjun in the world. The ordinary strange treasure that appeared in that view was the first division of chaos, the beginning of judgment, and the birth of this spiritual root when the heaven and earth were not yet opened. It covers four major continents in the world, but the Wuzhuang Temple in Hezhou, Xiniu, stands out here. It is called Cao Huan Dan, also known as Ginseng Guo. It blooms in three thousand years, bears fruit in three thousand years, matures in another three thousand years, and can be eaten only in ten thousand years. It seems that in these ten thousand years, it has only produced thirty fruits. The fruit looks like a child under the age of three, with all four limbs and five senses. If a person is destined to smell the fruit, he will live 360 ??years; if he eats one, he will live 47,000 years.

4. The auspicious mist is scattered in colorful colors, and the auspicious light protects the Dharma body. Jurchens appeared in the Chinese Han Dynasty in the sky. The Bodhisattva wears a golden leaf button on his head, covered with green flowers, emitting golden light, and vigorous hanging pearls; he wears a plain blue robe with a light collar, light makeup, a golden dragon, and a flying colorful phoenix; On the chest hangs an incense ring facing the moonlight, dancing in the breeze, mixed with pearls and jade jade; tied around the waist is a piece of ice silk, woven with gold edges, decorated with colorful clouds, promoting the Yaohai; and in front of her is a flying Oriental , travels around the world, shows gratitude and performs filial piety, a yellow-haired, red-billed and white parrot; in his hand is a vase of benevolence to the world, and in the vase is a branch of the blue sky, spreading evil, sweeping away the remaining fog and weeping willows. The jade ring is pierced through the embroidered button, and the golden lotus is deep under the feet. Three days are allowed for entry and exit. This is Guanshiyin who saves the suffering.

5. The master and apprentices traveled for several days and arrived at Gongzhou City. Officials from Gongzhou and others had already welcomed him into the city. Rest for the night and leave the city early the next morning. Hungry and thirsty along the way, we stayed at dawn for two or three days and then arrived at Hezhou Wei. This is the mountain and river boundary of Datang. The general soldiers at the edge of the town and the local monks had heard that the imperial emperor had sent Master Yudi to the west to see the Buddha. They all respectfully took him inside and provided him with supplies. He asked the monks to go to Fuyuan Temple to rest. The monks of the temple met one by one and arranged the evening fast. After fasting, he ordered his two servants to feed the horses until it was dark.

6. The poem says: Buddha is the heart. The heart is the Buddha. The heart and the Buddha always want things. If you know that there is nothing and no mind, then you are truly like the Dharmakaya Buddha. Dharmakaya Buddha has no appearance, but a round light encompassing all things. The body without body is the real body, and the phase without form is reality. It is neither color, nor emptiness, nor emptiness. It does not come, go, or return. No difference, no similarity, no presence or absence, hard to give up, hard to take, hard to hear and look forward to. The spiritual light inside and outside is the same everywhere, and the Buddha's kingdom is in the same sand. A grain of sand contains a thousand realms, one body and mind, and all dharmas are the same. To know it, you must know the secret of no mind, which is a pure karma that is not stained or stagnant. Doing nothing about good and evil is Namo Sakyamuni.

7. Then he held the purification bottle in his hand, and the white parrot was chirping in front of him, followed by Sun Dasheng. There is a poem to prove it. The poem says: The golden image of jade is the reason for the troubles in the world. It is compassion that saves the suffering. In the past kalpas, I met the Immaculate Buddha, and now I have attained the body of being. For several lifetimes, the sea of ??desire has cleared up the waves, and my heart has been filled with dust. The nectar has endured for a long time and is a wonderful way to discipline the precious tree forever.

8. The two of them are in front of the cave. This is a good fight! Look at that: the king of heaven cuts with his sword, and the monsters greet him with his spear. The sword cuts through the frost and spurts out fierce fire, and the spear welcomes the sharp energy and bursts into the clouds of sorrow. One is a monster born from Jingao Mountain, and the other is a god from Lingxiao Palace. The one used force to deceive the Zen nature, and the other showed great kindness to save the teacher from disaster. The king of heaven sends his magic to fly away sand and stones, and demons and monsters strive to scatter dust. Sowing soil can make the sky and earth dark, and flying sand can make the sea and rivers muddy. The two families strive for merit, and both worship the World Honored One for Monk Tang.

9. Taizong himself took a soothing medicine, drank porridge and soup several times, and was helped into the dormitory by his ministers. He slept soundly all night to maintain his energy until dawn, and roused his dignity. You Look at how he dresses up; he wears a sky-high crown and an ocher-yellow robe. Wear a blue field jasper belt and wear a pair of worry-free boots for starting a business. The appearance is superior to that of the current dynasty; the power and majesty are rejuvenated today. What a pure and upright King of the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty Li who came back from the dead!

After the mountain call was completed, they were divided into classes according to their grades.

10. Black gauze on the head and rhinoceros horns around the waist. There is a soft black gauze belt on the head, and the rhinoceros horn around the waist is like a gold box. Holding a tooth wat in his hand, the auspicious mist condenses, and he wears a robe to hide the auspicious light. Wearing a pair of powder-soled boots, you can ascend to the clouds and mist; carrying a book of life and death, you are destined to live or die. The sideburns are fluffy and flutter around the ears, and the beard is flying around the cheeks. He used to be the prime minister of Tang Dynasty, but now he is in charge of affairs and serves the king of hell.

11. Push away and look, ah! I saw a big tree in the middle. It was really full of green branches and gloomy green leaves, but the leaves looked like bananas. It went straight up to a height of more than a thousand feet, and there was a circle of seven or eight feet under the root. The traveler leaned under the tree and looked up. He saw a ginseng fruit exposed on the branch facing south, which looked like a child. It turns out that there is a stick on the end of the branch. It is leaning on the branch, moving its hands and feet, nodding its head, and there seems to be a sound in the wind.

12. When the monster heard this, he was afraid that the Great Sage would hurt him, so he dismembered the body, released his soul, jumped up, and stood in the sky. The weight on the traveler's back became heavier and heavier. The monkey king got angry, grabbed him, and slapped the corpse on the stone beside the road until it was like a meat pie. Fearing that he would be rude, he simply tore off his limbs and threw them on both sides of the road. All shattered.

13. The Monkey King led a group of apes, macaques, horse monkeys, etc., and assigned monarchs, ministers and envoys to travel to Huaguo Mountain in the morning and stay in the Water Curtain Cave in the evening. Beasts and the like are joyful when they are kings alone.

14. Green trees can be climbed and broken, and they know when the cold is good. The quasi-spirit only shows up, so it is called the Tiger King. Then I saw a fat man coming from behind. What did he look like? He had a tall, double-horned crown, and he shrugged his shoulders solemnly. Sexually dressed in green clothes, the person is stable, but the steps are often sluggish. The father of the clan was named Gu, and the mother's original name was Gu. Those who can do good work in the fields are distinguished by their reputation.
