@@tharushagunawardana3913 It reminds me of something a wise old kung fu master once said “The only real Hell in this World... is it in your heart... where are all the battles must be fought.” In fact now that I think about it the line by Buddha about not being able to escape from your own heart reminds me of an ancient Middle Eastern quote on the subject about human weakness and the struggle against the inner corruption found in the human heart. This quote in particular. “The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked, who can know it?” - The Holy Bible, The Book of Jeremiah, 17th Chapter, 9th Verse
@@limelightraver5690 your excerpt is 100% true. Because Lord Buddha's all quotes are quoting for our thoughts. Lord Buddha and his followers are know enlighten about thoughts.
This story is a satire. The Jade Emperor is the symbol of this bureaucracy. Buddha is the poison of religion. Sun Wukong is actually a symbol of ordinary people.
I guess what the story is saying is that no matter how vast Wukong's skills and knowledge are, they will still be the trappings of his own heart. So Buddha's palm is actually a reflection of himself, that he can't be truly free because of his desire for greatness.
How Buddha wins this bet, is quite literally related to the phrase "one with the universe". The Buddha's sense of enlightement is so absolute it is infinite, just as the universe is infinite, therefore it was impossible for the Monkey to leap out of his hand, since no matter how far he goes, he will still be in the universe, and as the Buddha's presence is one with the universe, he'll always be there.
The Buddha, like all humans had to go through the cycle of life and death, Samsara for many times. For 500 lives he had been through, and he had finally matured and was finally free from Samsara by being enlightened and realizing Nirvana. Gods, devils, men, they are all still trapped in the bondage of samsara. But the Buddha is free from the maya(illusion) of reality.
@@bryanwong5250 I think the correct way to say is that Buddha did not go through cycles of life and death. It was the bodhisattva (who attained Buddhahood).
I Am From India .It's Very Nice To See How Chinese People Respect Buddha Nd How China Nd India Both This Great Civilisations Influenced Eachother So Deeply...
Actually it is Wukong who stopped himself. Applies to everyone. Only you can stop yourself since equal and opposite forces cancel each other out. Buddha is just a great teacher to Wukong.
It's just that the plot needs to beautify Sun Wukong. In the novel Journey to the West, no matter how powerful Sun Wukong is, he is just an ant in front of the Jade Emperor.
Even if Buddha were to fight with Sun Wukong for 300 rounds, I am sure he could easily win. It is just that he chooses to teach Wu Kong, an immature brat, rather than challenge him directly. The Great Buddha is a compassionate being who values peace over violence.
in written story sun wukong jump more than a hundred times with his Quntow cloud until himself feeling tired and land, but still in the palm. he see mountains like fingers and did not realize it was a buddha's palm
this story is from a fantasy novel frm tbe Ming Dynasty which world is based on the native Taoist pantheon mixed with Indian Buddhist figures and doesn’t reflect how Buddhist sects in China view Buddhism or it’s actual philosophical aspect, the representation of Taoist is also inaccurate but still a good story. don’t go around talking about something you don’t know
In the first century A.D., Buddhism has been introduced to China, has been developed in China for two thousand years, so it must be very different from Indian Buddhism, in addition, ancient Chinese Buddhism is largely derived from Central Asian missionary and Tibetan Buddhism, so it has also absorbed different styles , and the Buddhist thought developed in China is in the same position as Confucius and Taoism, and has a profound impact on East Asia
The story is telling you about the heart sutra, emptiness is form, form is emptiness. That is why when you are not enlightened, there seems to be a limit. But when you are enlighten, everything is the same. Because you can transcend the limit
Legend has it only Guanyin and Buddha could take down Wukong. But in the classic Journey to the West TV shows, there were many devils that Wukong could not defeat without the help of the Immortals/fairies/Angels.
We, Japanese call the monkey, 悟空 - Goku, or 孫悟空 - Son Goku. But it was written 孫行者 in the Chinese book, how do you pronounce in Chinese? Greetings from Tokyo, Japan.
the metaphor or the image here, is that Wu Kong is like an insect in Buddha's palm or hand and can never get out of it. Why? Because it's (Buddha's palm) can grow limitlessly.
And so, no matter how far Wu Kong flys, Buddha's hand or palm will always "outgrow" his silouhette's or would always seem bigger or huger to Wukong, like a tiny fly/mosquitoe trapped in King Kong's palm/hand.
Journey to the wast is changed to a romantic love’s story in China. Every version shows different things, which are not the traditional story ,feels like we ask cats to love fishes , and we can make them have a wonderful life in the future .
Yeah, I did end up watching more just for the heck of it. Surprisingly, it grew on me. 2010 went deeper into character analysis and growth, which was very interesting. And also, I found it pretty hilarious :) So... still not as good as the old one (will there ever be one as good as the original?) but then again...definitely not as bad as I expected from watching just this clip. On a scale of 1-10? Hmm....maybe a 6.5 or 7.
One can be reminded of Arya Nagarjuna's "goer, going and place of going" Sunyata (this is a fancy Sanskrit word for "Emptyness") "thought problem." In essence it is all illusion, only samsara seemingly moves, like the reflection of the moon in water, and according to Guru Padmasambava (and many countless Buddhas) Buddhas too are like the reflection of the moon in water...and are without form, even the 6th Patriarch, Hui-Nen, said "in the state of Djyanna, there cannot be any tangeable showing."
The old version is better (-: No, just kidding... actually the old version IS better but even the old version was nothing like the book. Why can't they ever do a movie version that stays true to the book? If it is possible to do a movie version of Lord of the Rings that's true to the book, why isn't it possible doing the same with Journey to the west?
It's not for lack of trying. It feels like there are hundreds of adaptations of the story. Yet nothing as epic as what I imagined when I read the book. Mind you, the book is so old, that it has its own problems. A lot of repetition for example. Avoiding repetition has become a rule of writing for a reason.
books and film are two different media. Some things will not naturally translate from one to the other. Even for the LOTR films, certain things were changed from the book.
ANSWER: LIMIT 0... THE FASTER WU KONG TRAVEL NEAR SPEED OF LIGHT THE SMALLER HE GET... THAT IS Y, HE SAW BUDHA PALM SO GIGANTIC, WHILE ACTUALLY HE BECAME SMALLER. TIME IS INDEED STUBBORN DELUSION.
People who watched this Tv drama and came here to debate and start trashing Buddhism and link Buddha and his Dharma with the Chinese. This TV drama is an adaptation from the novel Journey to the West written by a chinese fella... This is tv drama is not a true depiction of the ultimate Buddhism. It was just story from a novel. That’s all.
I am Indian Buddhist. I wanted to say that the Buddha was not god. He was atheist philosopher. And Buddhism is based on scientific elements. Every Buddhist or human being should attend vippassana meditation to make thoughtful person. Namo Buddhay.
justice hound is right . you need to have everything perfect lol ... too bad there no such thing .. even there is it wont always suit you .. appreciate then lol
By right there should be a om mani pat mi hum sign on top of the mountain...Wukong did try to break open the mountain to free himself and he could...but when Buddha put the sign...that trapped Wukong...
It’s not easy for Rulai Buddha to beat Monkey King if Monkey King simply charges in and swings his magic staff. So he has to trick Monkey King into jumping onto his hand, so he can use the “five finger mountain” to bury Monkey King in a swift way.
Oh yeah, that’s for sure! Monkey King is not going to beat the head of the “west” gods. But the fight probably won’t be as trivial or spectacular (depends on how you see it) as it had turned out.
This clip part is fake. Any of Lord Buddha never punished anyone. According to this clip sun must be trapped because of his bad past actions and thoughts.
+Rajan Gurung True Buddha is great but the guy who is playing Buddha's character is beyond the level. If Buddha watches him he might burst out so loud that whole universe will be shattered.
This version 2010 is one of a good adaptation series of Journey to the west , good story , drama, good action. The version 2011 is also the good one and completely more episode. If you like recommend to see both. The version 1986 is still a classic in term of performance.
Ah i see. Thank you :) Did you see this movie, one episode, called Journey to the west? It's a comedy adaptation. it was on netflix. I was really pissed :(
Puji Zeidel Directed by Stephen Chow , Actually I like Stephen Chow and Kangfu Hustle is also one my favorite movie but his Journey to the west 2013 adaptation was just not my type of movie , too western style for me
There is some redeeming qualities. Tang San Zhan always talk about Buddha and the progress of the heart with his student. That one very obvious good quality that is only present in this version
