" If hell is not empty, I will not become a Buddha." This was what Sun Wukong said to Tang Sanzang in Journey to the West. Sun Wukong offended the Jade Emperor on the way to the scriptures and was sent to hell to suffer. However, when he saw all kinds of pain and cruelty in hell, he vowed to spend enough time in hell until the hell was empty, so that Tang Sanzang and others could successfully obtain the scriptures. This sentence also became an allusion to the Buddhist saying," If hell is not empty, one will not become a Buddha."
