In Journey to the West, Tang Sanzang was a famous Buddhist monk who was merciful and devoted to Buddhism. His disciples were also smart, loyal and reliable cultivators. However, Tang Sanzang sometimes showed the weakness of human nature. For example, he would sometimes betray his disciples for the sake of the overall situation. From a Buddhist perspective, Tang Sanzang's actions were out of compassion and selflessness. He hoped that through his own efforts and wisdom, he could help all cultivators free themselves from the cycle of life and death and obtain true freedom and happiness. However, his actions also caused some controversy because in some cases, his actions could be seen as betrayal and immoral. I think that although Tang Sanzang's actions are out of compassion and selflessness, there are certain risks. If his disciples did not understand his intentions or did not correct him in time when he made a wrong decision, they might be punished or even lose their freedom and happiness. Therefore, Tang Sanzang needed to consider carefully when making decisions and constantly improve his wisdom and moral standards to ensure that his words and deeds were in line with Buddhist teachings and moral standards.
Buddhism didn't recognize the master and disciple of Tang Sanzang in the original novel of Journey to the West because this novel was a non-Buddhist classic. Although Journey to the West is a very popular novel, it is not a Buddhist classic. In Buddhism, only Buddhist scriptures were authoritative texts. Other novels and stories could only be regarded as supplementary reading materials. Buddhism's attitude towards Journey to the West was neutral. It did not deny the existence of this novel, but it also did not acknowledge its authority. Although there were many novels, stories, and other literary works in Buddhism, they were all used as supplementary reading materials to spread the teachings of Buddhism, not as Buddhist scriptures.
