The story of subduing demons

Answer 1

The following are some stories of subduing demons:
- ** Shakyamuni vanquished the devil and became a Buddha **: Before Shakyamuni Buddha was about to become a Buddha, the Heavenly Devil Bo Xun led his three daughters and the demon army to the Buddha's place. He used women to seduce and threaten him with force, trying to destroy Shakyamuni's determination to become a Buddha. Shakyamuni used his compassion, wisdom, and will to overcome his inner demons and become a Buddha. At that time, Shakyamuni was sitting on the throne under the bodhi tree with his legs crossed. The army of the demon king Boxun on both sides attacked with weapons. The three daughters of the demon king in the lower left corner of the picture were dressed in Qiuci clothes and tried to seduce Shakyamuni. Shakyamuni turned them into ugly old women with a calm heart. Although there were eight demon armies around the Buddha, there were also Bodhisattvas who stood with their palms pressed together. Below the Buddha's throne were also demon armies who surrendered to the Buddha.
- The three princes of the King of India, Da Che, went hunting in the mountains one day and saw a female tiger with seven little tigers. After the third prince sent his two brothers away, he lay in front of the tigress, but the tiger was too hungry to eat. Then, he climbed up the hill and stabbed his body, then jumped down the cliff to let the tigress eat his blood. After the tigress regained her strength, she and the cubs ate all the meat on the Sattva's body. The two elder brothers did not see the younger brother and searched along the road. Finally, they found the corpse of the Satwo and returned to the palace to report to their father. This could be seen as Prince Sattva using self-sacrifice to overcome the "demon disaster" of hunger.
- ** The story of the demon in Journey to the West (clip)**: For example, in the eleventh chapter of the Cantonese version of Journey to the West broadcasted by Lin Zhaoming, there was a plot of Tang Sanzang (Xianzhuang) in the process of searching for his mother. Although it did not directly subdue the demon, it indirectly reflected the "demon barrier" that Tang Sanzang and his disciples might encounter on their way to the Western Heaven. Tang Sanzang overcame many difficulties to find his mother. His mother was taken by a thief, and he faced the threat of Liu Hong. If Liu Hong knew Tang Sanzang's identity, he would definitely kill him. This process required wisdom and courage like subduing a demon.
- ** The story of a monk meeting a ghost **: There was a monk who liked to be quiet and diligent in the mountains. When he met a ghost at dusk, the ghost first turned into a headless image and came to the traveler's seat. The traveler was calm and fearless, saying that the headless ghost had neither headache nor greed such as eyes, ears, mouth and nose. The ghost turned into a person without a body but with hands and feet. The traveler said that without a body, there would be no pain, itch, disease and worry of the five internal organs. The ghost once again pretended to have no hands or feet and came in a wheelbarrow. The traveler said that he could not take other people's property without hands and feet. At last, the ghost turned into a proper man and told the monk that he would soon learn what he had learned. Then he respectfully left. This showed that the monk stuck to his original heart and did not succumb to the demonic barrier (the various changes of ghosts).
