Sun Wukong who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace and Sun Wukong who sought scriptures

Answer 1

There were many differences between the Sun Wukong who wreaked havoc in Heaven and the Sun Wukong who sought scriptures.

** 1. Identity and Mentality **
1. ** When I made a ruckus in the Heavenly Palace **
- Sun Wukong had just learned powerful skills from Patriarch Bodhi, including the Seventy-Two Transformations and the Somersault Cloud. He called himself the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal and challenged the hierarchy and authority of the celestial heavens. At this moment, he was young and arrogant. With his powerful ability, he did not put the gods of the celestial heavens in his eyes. He thought that he could be on equal footing with the celestial heavens, or even above them.
- For example, he caused trouble at the Heavenly Peach Banquet, ate the heavenly peaches, drank the imperial wine, and even broke into the Grand Supreme Elder's Dou Shuai Palace and swallowed all the golden cores, completely disregarding the rules and order of the celestial heavens.
2. ** When I was learning from the scriptures **
- He had been suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain by Buddha for five hundred years. He had been enlightened by Guanyin Bodhisattva to protect Tang Sanzang in the Western Paradise. At this time, he was the disciple of Tang Sanzang, and his behavior was restricted by Tang Sanzang and the Buddhist precepts.
- His mentality gradually changed from reckless to a sense of mission and responsibility. He knew that his task was to escort Tang Sanzang to obtain the true scriptures so that he could cultivate.

** 2. Ability Usage **
1. ** When I made a ruckus in the Heavenly Palace **
- His ability was mainly used to resist Heavenly Court. He relied on his Indestructible Body of Vajra, Seventy-two Transformations, and Somersault Cloud to rampage through the battle with the heavenly soldiers and generals. For example, when he faced a hundred thousand heavenly troops, he was fearless and turned the Heavenly Court upside down.
2. ** When I was learning from the scriptures **
- His abilities were mostly used to subdue demons and protect Tang Sanzang. When facing all kinds of demons and ghosts, he needed to use his abilities according to the different characteristics of the demons. Moreover, there were many times when he needed to rely on external forces, such as the gods of the Heavenly Court or Guan Yin Bodhisattva, for help. This was different from the situation when he fought against the Heavenly Court alone during the Uproar in Heaven.

** 3. Interpersonal relationships **
1. ** When I made a ruckus in the Heavenly Palace **
- He was enemies with the gods of the celestial heavens. Other than the monkeys and grandchildren of the Flowerfruit Mountain, he had almost no allies. He was challenging the authority system of the entire celestial heavens. The gods of the celestial heavens either surrounded him or feared him. The two sides were enemies.
2. ** When I was learning from the scriptures **
- He became master and apprentice brothers with Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie and Monk Sand. He needed to coordinate the relationship in this small group, especially to listen to the teachings of Tang Sanzang. Although Tang Sanzang sometimes did not understand his means of subduing demons, he could only act under the constraints of Tang Sanzang. At the same time, he also established a cooperative relationship with the gods of the Heavenly Court and Guan Yin Bodhisattva. When he encountered demons, he would go to the Heavenly Court or ask for help from Guan Yin Bodhisattva.
