| | Legends of Monkey King - Journey to West |
| | "Monkey King" is an allegorical rendation of the journey, mingled with Chinese fables, fairy tales, legends, supersitions, popular beliefs, monster stories as well as whatever the author could find in the Taoist and Buddhist religions. | | | After years of trials and tribulations, he travelled on foot to what is today India, the birthplace of Buddhism, to seek for the Sutra, the Buddhist holy book. | | | To insure that the monk could make for the West to get the sutras, Buddha had arranged for the Monkey King to become his desciple and escort him, along with two other desciples they later came across, (actually also arranged by the Buddha). |
