Journey to the West

Enlightenment is an conscious awareness that typically brings change. It is an moral awakening to an brilliant idea/mindset of adequately providing superior knowledge to others through personal experience within our independence that ultimately turns a fundamental belief to a personal knowing. Enlightenment is presently used in the literacy work of Journey to the West, Tripitaka and his men go through a journey to defeat the evils of their world. When going through these journeys, they continuously encounter a change where they grow to be free from the tyranny of the consciousness. "Do you think an ordinary horse would be able to cross the thousands of mountains and rivers to reach the Buddha−land on the Vulture Peak? Only a dragon horse will be able to do it."

In which ultimately releases one's self from the ideal cycle of reincarnation. Tripitaka is pure in spirit yet still has many flaws no matter if he was a sinner or not in search for enlightenment. He is absolutely dependent on his men for he feels as though without him he would under no circumstances be the man he is destined to be. “In an earlier life you were my second disciple and called Master Golden Cicada. But because you would not listen to my sermon on the Dharma and had no respect for my great teaching, I demoted your soul to be reborn in the East. Now, happily, you have come over to the faith and rely on our support; and in following our teaching your achievement in fetching the true scriptures has been very great. Your reward will be to be promoted to high office as the Candana−Punya Buddha."Every so often one may feel a weight lifted off their shoulders, they may have identified a modern way of life. Ultimately, it is to benefit himself for his foreseeable future.
