What skills did the Monkey King learn from Bodhi in The Journey to the West?

1, "seventy-two changes", can change seventy-two kinds of objects. Bodhi introduced to him in the book that magic is divided into 36 changes according to the number of plows and 72 changes according to the number of dungeons. The Monkey King chose the latter, that is, 72 changes. The main purpose of the seventy-two changes is to avoid the damage caused by lightning, yin fire and Ji wind, so as to realize the desire of eternal life.

2. In the somersault cloud, the Monkey King begged his father to teach him how to travel around the world every day, so according to the Monkey King's unusual somersault, he specially awarded him the somersault cloud and taught him how to control it. That night, the Monkey King learned how to use somersault cloud, twist tactic, recite incantations, clench fist, shake himself and jump up, making a somersault of 108,000 Li.

3. "Great products are absolutely immortal", cultivate the essence, develop the magic method of elixir, condense the essence and get rid of evil desires. After three years of practice, the Monkey King learned Buddhism, gained roots, paid attention to spiritual body, became a fairy, became a Taoist, lived the same life as heaven, lived in fire and water, died of all diseases, jumped out of reincarnation and lived forever. But this formula is an unconventional way, which takes away the nature of heaven and earth and invades the mystery of the sun and the moon. After Dan succeeded, ghosts and gods could not tolerate it.

Extended data:

1, Bodhi, a granddaddy in Journey to the West, took the Monkey King as a disciple and taught him seventy-two changes and somersaults, but Bodhi asked the Monkey King not to mention his legacy after his debut. The name of the bodhi founder of Journey to the West, the combination of Buddhism and Taoism, the temperament of Taoism and the thinking of Confucianism, is a master image who is proficient in Taoism, Buddhism and a hundred schools of thought, which coincides with the three religions at that time.

2. When Wukong studied art, Bodhi told himself that he was proficient in a hundred schools and asked Wukong to choose whatever he wanted to learn. He asked the Monkey King to choose low-level courses, including 360 side doors of calligraphy, including inviting immortals to help Luan, seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, chanting Buddha and worshiping the truth, meditating quietly, fasting, moving doors to raise yang, climbing bows and stepping on crossbows, and so on. Bodhi lecture avenue can "talk for a while, talk for a while, and the three companies will cooperate as they are."

It can be seen from these that Bodhi is not limited to one school, but all-encompassing. In just three years, he taught Wukong seventy-two changes, somersault clouds and so on. It can be said that other immortals in The Journey to the West can't match the divine power of being so compatible with three religions and nine streams. Even Tathagata and Taishang Laojun are just two schools of Buddhism and Taoism. It can be said that Bodhi is the founder.
