猪八戒成佛的意义

八戒在《西游记》中的角色最为真实,从他的优点和缺点来看,他是《西游记》中最像现实生活中的“凡夫俗子”。

在神话小说中,著者没有刻意神化猪八戒这角色,他具有人性中的七情六欲,而且对女性有着较大的渴望,在《三藏不忘本,四圣试禅心》中,他不但要娶老妇人的三女儿,情急之下连丈母娘也想要,是道德所不能接受的举动;除此,身为猪精的他,也非常贪吃,像似长期处在饥饿状态,慵懒成性。

虽然好色、贪吃和慵懒是猪八戒最大弊病,可是他忠心于唐僧,从来不会为了“色”和“贪吃”而误了大事,也不会为了吃唐僧可以长生不老而起歪念,更值得学习的是,他曾经任职天棚元帅,也不会刻意隐藏及包装自己的短处,有时他也坦然接受别人对他的看法和批评,而且他的贪吃不至于伤害生灵,他没有在取经过程因为饥饿而杀害小动物充饥,他踏实的凭着本身的力气获得食物。

在组织价值观中,猪八戒这角色有胸怀开阔、有容人容事的精神,他不能说不认真,而是他会让配合者充满信心,形成一种人格魅力,不造配合者畏惧。

曾经有人说猪八戒有积极心态,举贤不忌能,甘作陪衬,甘当绿叶,甘为铺路石。取经过程,也表现了高度负责的态度,讲原则、讲真诚、讲风格、讲友谊的一面,无形中会促成吸引、凝聚、团结和带领大家齐心协力实现奋斗的目标。

猪八戒的性格说明了他本身并不坏,这角色最难说服世人的缺点就是他“非常好色”,一见到女性口水就留,这种举动在现实生活中可说是违反了圣贤所教导的“人文道德”。

虽然如此试想想若唐僧不给他机会,不用取经过程来感化他,不用任务减弱他本性中的弱点,没有一次又一次的机会和教育,猪八戒会成佛吗?猪八戒会修成正果吗?更自私的想法,如果《西游记》中缺乏猪八戒这角色成事吗?


虽然《西游记》仅仅是个神话,可就这启示,教育了后人,任不贵于无过,而贵于能改过,改过的机会时来自智慧和思想改革,并且神话中从来没有忘记互补的重要性,不忽视大家存在的作用。

  6. Keykok, of course is OK for a "Personal" blog to write anything including Monkey or Pig or Monk.

  8. Keykok,
    You had done a good job as a blogger, keep it up! There bound to be lots of people who like to give destructive comments. This only indicates and reflects their shallow understanding of what intend to imply in your writing especially those articles involving fairy tales from ancient china (similarly, how many people really understand the book Animal Farm?). If there is no pig this this story A Journey To The west, then how can the character and ability of the Monkey King be so outstanding?
    Ask those readers who like to give destructive comments to start their own blog then!
