I have read "The Buddha is the Tao" by Meng Ru Shen Ji. The book says that Master Subhuti is the incarnation of the Quasi-Attainment Practitioner. Some people may not be familiar with the Quasi-Attainment Practitioner. In "Fengshen Yanyi", it is mentioned that there are two great masters in the Western teachings, one is the Guiding Practitioner and the other is the Quasi-Attainment Practitioner. After the battle of Fengshen, the Guiding Practitioner guided the Cichang Practitioner, Jiu Liusun, and Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun to the Western teachings, and became Guanyin Bodhisattva, Jiu Liusun Buddha, and Wenshu Bodhisattva. According to reason, the Guiding Practitioner, the Quasi-Attainment Practitioner, Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian Jiaozhu are peers. If Sun Wukong is the disciple of the Quasi-Attainment Practitioner, then he is the same generation as Guanyin and others. Isn't this messing up the seniority? There is another saying that Subhuti is one of the ten disciples under the Buddha's seat. If that's the case, it can be explained. Tang Sanzang is the disciple of the Buddha, and Jin Chanzi is reincarnated. Subhuti is Jin Chanzi's younger brother. It is not impossible for Sun Wukong to be the disciple of Tang Sanzang. Furthermore, Guanyin bestowed the Dharma name "Neng" upon Zhu Bajie and the Dharma name "Wujing" upon Sha Wujing. Is there such a coincidence in the world? Guanyin first guided and transformed Sha Wujing, then guided and transformed Zhu Bajie, and Sun Wukong has not been seen yet. They are all disciples with the character "Wu". What does this indicate? It is very likely that Subhuti is the disciple Subhuti of the Tathagata. It's just a saying, just for entertainment. Please don't believe me.
