Which one is more powerful, Bodhi Patriarch or Taishang Laojun?

I think compared with Patriarch Bodhi and Taishang Laojun, Taishang Laojun should be more powerful.

Because Taishang Laojun is one of the Three Pure Ones in Taoism, he is also listed as the Five Elders along with the Tathagata Buddha in the West. Moreover, Taishang Laojun's status is a little higher than that of Buddha. So who is Bodhi Buddha? It is said that the real name of Patriarch Bodhi is Subhuti, and Subhuti has said in scriptures that he is one of the ten disciples of Tathagata Buddha. This means that Subhuti is a disciple of Tathagata Buddha, so Bodhi Patriarch is of the same generation. Disciples of Tathagata Buddha, who are slightly lower than Taishang Laojun, naturally cannot defeat Taishang Laojun.

In addition to what is said in the scriptures, the status of Patriarch Bodhi is a lifetime lower than that of Taishang Laojun. It can also be seen from the names they gave their disciples. Sun Wukong was named Wukong according to his seniority when he was raised by Patriarch Bodhi. When Guanyin Bodhisattva helped Tathagata Buddha's second disciple Jin Chanzi to recruit disciples, the names given to Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng were also from the same generation. This can be seen that Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie are of the same generation, and by extension, that is It is said that Patriarch Bodhi and Jin Chanzi are of the same generation. Jin Chanzi is a disciple of Tathagata Buddha, so Patriarch Bodhi must be a disciple of Tathagata Buddha just like Jin Chanzi.

So why can’t Taishang Laojun defeat Sun Wukong, a Bodhi Patriarch who has only taught for about three years? This is actually because when Sun Wukong was causing trouble in the heavens, he ate a lot of elixirs carefully refined by Taishang Laojun. After taking the elixirs, Sun Wukong's own power naturally increased greatly, so Taishang Laojun would fight. But him.

But at the end of Sun Wukong causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace, it was Taishang Laojun’s King Kong Zhuo who conquered Sun Wukong, so Sun Laojun must be more powerful than Bodhi Patriarch.
