總評 Commentary
Guanyin arrives at the Mountain of Five Phases, where Sun Wukong has lain pinned since the close of the previous chapter. The radiance that announces it, and Moksa's recognition of the seal, build to the chapter's pivot: the bodhisattva's first sight of the monkey she will recruit as the pilgrimage's chief disciple.
The talisman is revealed to be the Six-Syllable Mantra, 唵嘛呢叭𠺗吽 — Oṃ maṇi padme hūṃ, the most widely recited invocation of Avalokiteśvara (Guanyin) in the Buddhist world. That it is her own mantra holding the monkey down is richly apt: the very formula of compassion is the instrument of his discipline, and she has now come in person to turn that confinement toward release.
Following Anthony C. Yu, the moment knits the cosmological and the devotional. The Five Phases that constitute the physical world, the seal of the Buddha, and the mantra of the bodhisattva together hold the unruly xīnyuán in place — a convergence of Daoist, Buddhist, and liturgical orders upon the single figure of the mind-monkey awaiting his conversion.
