The one who created Nuwa is greater because he created Nuwa. The one created the creator of Nuwa is greater because he created Nuwa's creator and this goes on and on and on........ :ROFLMAO:

In Journey to the west, Buddha is stronger

In 封神演义 , a number of the 仙 became 菩萨

比如原著中专门指出,阐教的十二金仙中慈航道人成为佛教的观音菩萨,普贤真人成为普贤菩萨,文殊广法天尊成为文殊菩萨,以及阐教副教主燃灯道人成为燃灯佛祖。

buddha is higher. he is not inside the 6 realm anymore

jade emperor is counted as in heaven realm which is still in the 6 realm
So can I say technically jade emperor can die and reborn as something else ?

“Everything has a creator” is incorrect. There has to be one thing or being that necessarily exists and was never created.

It depends on from which perspective you are asking the question.

From the standpoint of the Journey To The West novel, the Buddha was like the Consultant who knows and could do everything; the Jade Emperor was the boss, but when sh*t fits the fan, he would need to engage the help of this Consultant, who was outside the reporting line to him.

In Buddhist cosmology, the Jade Emperor could be mapped to Sakka (帝釋天), who is the Boss of the Tāvatiṃsa Heavens (三十三天) - see No. 7 of the attached chart. Inhabitants of heavens here will one day die too, being still subject to the rounds of (re)birth and death; though they have long lifespans compared to earthlings. The Buddha had already transcended the rounds of birth and death and attained final extinguishment.

jade emperor 1 level below buddha

many many levels below Buddha.

Buddha is 无上正等正觉 anuttarā-saṃyak-saṃbodhi; "peerless correct perfect enlightenment"

means is "utmost perfectness with nothing above"


" Jade Emperor" is an appointment, which in Buddhism context, only up to Bodhisattva level at most.

" Jade Emperor" in Taoism is only a high position in 仙班, meaning like a President in the Sg cabinet.

in Buddhism, all heavenly beings are considered as 天人 if they never attain Bodhisattva level of Buddhism.

天人 is subjected to reincarnation once he 享尽天福
