and give Heaven to you
if you cannot escape from my palm
you will be a demon on earth and train for more years
little Buddha you should know better
my one somersault is 18,000 miles
your palm is less than 1 ruler

and on the 5 supporting pillars, I left a mark

there's no need for that
just look down

How can it be?
This can't be.
Smell the stinky urine between my fingers
I did urinate on the 5 Heaven's support pillars

Amitabha
my respect to Master
I wonder why you summon me from South Sea
what is the matter?
That stone monkey
has lost his original personality
in future... on his way to get the Sutras
you need to lend a helping hand
on the way to get the Sutras?
Yes.
Master, do you have a mission for that stone monkey?
Yes.
But... not now
now, he suffers
from the 5 sins
and was trapped
these 5 sins
shall become the 5 elements Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth
and shall be known as the 5 element mountain
if his heart has never shown any remorse
he cannot leave the 5 element mountain
reporting to Buddha
Sun Wu Kong is trapped under the 5 element mountain
but his head is still outside
and making so much noise
that mountain has been shaken by him
don't worry
Ah Nan
yes
*Buddhist chant
take this and paste it on the top of the mountain
when his punishment is over
someone will save him
yes
its time now
has the stone monkey repent?
There's a bit of remorse
but not exactly
its still too early
so... what do you mean?
I observed the 4 continent
all living beings
are different
the continent on the East...
respects the Heaven and Earth
the continent on the North...
are devoted
the west continent is not evil
its cultivating the Qi
and everyone lives long
but the South continent...
has all the Sins
as all source of sins originated from the mouth
its a place full of sins
I have 3 Sutras
to advise the people to practice good
which Sutras is that?
Sutras of Law: About Heaven
Sutras of Reason: About Earth
Sutras of Chants: Educate the ghosts
3 Sutras has 35 chapters
with 15,144 scrolls
its the gateway to enlightenment
I want to give it to Eastern land
but its people are foolish
and spread rumors
without realizing the importance of my teaching
and delayed my Yoga teachings
how do we gain a powerful one
to go to the Eastern land and look for a disciple
He shall travel far
and experience difficulty to
obtain the Sutras from here
to spread to his land
and advise the others
its a great blessing
and deep greatness
who wants to do this?
Your disciple
will find this person and he will travel here for the Sutras
he is not born yet...
how do you find him?
This...
Golden Cicada
if you regrets now, you still can turn back
I shall not have any regrets
Buddha...
Let me out. Hurry
Let me out. You despicable, shameless person
you tricked me... let me out
Let me out.
You pinned me here with tricks
fight with me again!
I'm so angry!
Let me out!
What Heavenly Soldiers... Old Jade Emperor
Heavenly King, Erlang Deity
come on down and fight with me
if l lose, I'll be your grandson
did I really do wrong?
Is it my fault?
Why didn't anyone help me?
Why?!
Is it my fault?
No one tells me anything!
No one tells me I'm wrong.
What did I do wrong?
No one tells me I'm wrong.
Who will say it to me?!
That tiger got away again! Damn!
Why did you hit me?
I'm talking to you.
I wasn't bothering you.
Why did you hit me?
So it's real.
So, the fairy tale was real.
There's really a monkey here who can't die
kill me if you can
so that I don't have to suffer
Come...
Kill me.
Don't run.
Come back and kill me.
You are clever...
Want to chop off my head?
Your blade will break instead!
Why is it so?
Even if this is prison
there should be a deadline
if l cannot bear it... can't I die?
Why?
Why let me suffer here?
I know my mistakes
I shouldn't bully the weak
I shouldn't be domineering and tyrannical
I shouldn't be this and that
I shouldn't!
Since you know that I'm an ignorant animal
shouldn't someone teach me?!
Can't... you can't let me suffer here
no one teaches me
is this logical?
Is this justice?
Is this Buddha's teaching?
Buddha, Golden Cicada has become the abbot of a temple in Tang
he was respected by all monks
he's known as Xuan Zang
the destiny is here
are you willingly to make this trip?
To enlighten Xuan Zang
Yes... but for this trip to the East
what other instructions do you have for me?
On your way there, watch out for the route
don't travel above the clouds
lower yourself between the clouds and fog
while traveling through the mountains and rivers
remember the route
and instruct the person who will come for the Sutras
in case you may not be able to do it
I will give you 2 treasures
This robe and staff,
are to be given to the person who's going to retrieve the scriptures.
If he will come willingly,
he'll whether robe and avoid the reincarnation wheel.
He'll hold on to the staff and be free of harm.
I understand.
This treasure is known as 'Head Ring'
Even though the 3 look the same,
but each have a different use.
I have 3 chants to tighten this 'Head Ring'
Listen carefully.
Remembered?
I have remembered.
If on the road you met some powerful demons,
you should persuade them toward goodness.
And become the disciples of that person.
If he disobeys,
you can put that ring on his head.
It will naturally fit itself into the flesh of the wearer
and use the chants on them
it will cause headaches as if the brain will burst
to discipline that person
Master, the glowing light ahead
is where the Five Element Mountain located.
That monkey who created havoc in Heaven
is pinned under here?
Yes.
'Alas that the demonic monkey is undisciplined...
in the past, he was arrogant and tried to be a hero'
who is the one reciting poems on the mountain
- and teasing me? -'He disrupted the peach banquet...
boldly intruded the Great Elder's palace...
there's no match for him within the 10,000 soldiers...
he was powerful in Heaven...
but since he was trapped by Buddha...
when can he show his powers again? '
Monkey.
Do you remember me?
Yes, yes I do.
Aren't you the Goddess of Mercy, Guanyin?
Why aren't you at your Southern Sea reciting scriptures?
What are you doing here instead?
I'm on Buddha's order to look for someone in Eastern Land
I passed by here and came to visit you.
That Buddha cheated me
and pinned me here for 500 years and I couldn't escape
Bodhisattva, have mercy on me Please help me!
You have deep sins
if l saved you... you could create trouble again
it wouldn't be good
I know I'm wrong. Hope that Bodhisattva will lead me right
and save me!
Since you have the intention
when I reached the Eastern Land, the Great Tang Country
and found that person who will be coming for the Sutras
Ask him to save you and become his disciple.
Practice Buddhism to gain enlightenment again
Are you willing to do it?
Yes. Yes. Yes.
As long as I can get out, I'll do anything you ask.
If that is so...
you shall wait patiently for that person to come
he will teach you the way to live
and you can stop complaining that no one teaches you
Guanyin don't leave. Don't leave!
You haven't tell me
when will that person come.
Are you here to lie to me too?!
Look at the beautiful flowers. This one is good.
Sirs, come up and play with us.
Hey, sir. Come up here.
Robe for sale! Staff for sale!
Hey, monk. Come over here.
How much are you selling them for?
Robe for 5000 teals. Staff for 2000 teals.
By wearing your robe will one become immortal
or an enlightened being?
Think I can exchange it for a few vegetarian meals
if only they are stupid or idiots
Move! Don't get in my way!
Even if there is a treasure that can give immortality,
and make a person be enlightened,
He won't be able to see it.
Robe for sale! Staff for sale!
Good! Good!
Robe for sale! Staff for sale!
Masters, please don't leave yet.
Masters, this robe and staff how much are they?
Robe is 5000 teals. Staffs 2000 teals.
What's so special about them? Why the high price?
This robe has its good side
and bad sides.
It can be bought or for free.
What do you mean by 'Good and Bad' sides?
If you wore my robe...
you will not perish
or enter Hell
you will not be in danger
you will not be trapped... these are the good sides
if the monk is not moral
and does not follow the code
disregarded the Sutras
they will not see my robe
these are the bad sides
Then... what does it mean it can
be bought or for free?
Don't follow Buddha's teaching
disrespect the 3 treasures (3 main Bodhisattva)
Forced to be bought and sold
insisting on 7000 teals (total cost of both items)
This is the meaning of being bought.
If you respect the 3 treasures
benevolent and loving
practice Buddhism
and can breathe burden
I will give the robe and staff to him willingly.
Thus, developing a destined relationship with him
This is what the meaning of free is.
I have learn
Honored monk, do you know that the Emperor is starting a sharing session
he invited all monks in Chang An city To spread Buddhism teachings
in my opinion this robe could be given to the best of the monks
what do you think?
Amitabha...
May I ask if you
heard any of the monks speaking about
Mahayana Buddhist writing?
We heard a lot about Hinayana Buddhist writing...
but not Mahayana Buddhist writings
Hinayana Buddhist cannot help a person to reincarnate
I have 3 Sutras of Mahayana Buddhist writings
it can help the dead to reincarnate
and release people from sufferings
one can cultivate oneself
its incomparably
Where are these Mahayana Buddhist writings now?
It's on the great western side, India
Great Thunder Temple, where my Buddha is
it can resolve people's trouble
and reduce their disasters
Don't you have these Sutras now?
No. I only have these 2 treasures
if you want to give them to the best monks of all
I will give them to you without asking for any money
my disciple... take the robe
and the staff and give them to this gentlemen
- Yes. - Wait.
Honored monk,
you didn't know me and wanted to give me these treasures?
I knew
you are someone who 'walks the talk'
you are good enough
(*thinking: The emperor always 'walk the talk')
He knew I'm the Emperor
...but I don't know who are you?
Your Majesty, look!
Guanyin!
The Goddess of Mercy, Guanyin.
Your Majesty
The journey is 18,000 miles
Mahayana will be obtained for your country
if someone is willingly to go
he can gain a golden body (immortality)
Guan Yin Bodhisattva, thanks for your teaching
I will obtain the Mahayana Buddhist writings
and practice Buddhism
All monks please take a look
these 2 treasures
was given to me by Guan Yin Bodhisattva
these 2 treasures shall be
given to a highly respected monk
who ants to start?
Then...
those who knew Mahayana Buddhist teachings
Please step forward.
Its true that
within my central land
there's no Mahayana Buddhist Sutras
I shall
request for a monk, who is willingly to travel to
West Paradise to request for the Sutras
Whoever willing to go,
and I'll give the two treasures to him.
Which one of you
is willing to travel to the west?
The monk ho wants to take this task
please step forward
That young monk over there.
Which temple is he from?
Who knows his name?
Your Majesty
he is the abbot of Hong Fu temple
His secular name is Cheng Yi
his Buddhism name is Cheng Xuang Zang
Cheng Xuan Zang
from the beginning, your mind seems to be wandering around
ignoring me
What is the reason for it?
Your Majesty. Please don't be angry.
I am just pondering over something
and is not listening to you
what are you pondering about?
Just now, a mosquito bit my hand
and I wonder why?
Buddha's teaching stated that...
there's always 'Causes and Effects'
since that mosquito bit me
it could be my 'creditor' from my previous life
should I let it
continue to stay within 6 cycle of reincarnation
and cannot be released from the suffering?
That's why I recalled Hinayana Buddhist teachings
it teaches people to relieve from sufferings
but without knowing
how to save all the living beings
even if its an ant and even a spirit (ghost)
How do we save them from suffering and gain happiness?
That Mahayana Buddhist writings
is talking about the way to save living beings
but its a pity that the Sutras are in the West Paradise
I wanted to send a person to the West Paradise to obtain the Sutras
Amitabha
I am not capable
but would like to offer myself for this cause
and travel to the West Paradise to get the Sutras
for your Majesty and stabilize our country
