You have excellent understanding.
In Consciousness-Only (Yogacara) school:
Sun Wu Kong is the sixth consciousness
- incredibly influential, imaginative, agile and powerful, can
rise to heaven, can go to deep sea, one somersault 108000 miles
- if used correctly, can beat all the evils (evil thoughts), can
understand emptiness (Wu Kong 悟空 means understanding emptiness), if
used wrongly can create havoc
Ever wonder why Wu Kong can never escape the Buddha's palm?
cos they are one and the same, running away is like dog chasing
its tail hehe :)
