The Buddha vs the Monkey King! OMG, did it really happen?

[mai72]

OMG, why wasn't this written in the history books?

you mean when wukong is trapped under ki-sealing rubble for crashing a party in heaven and Tang Sanzang tells him he could just get out if he let go of his transformation arts instead of trying to use them to get out?

no it's just a metaphor in a fictional literary work.

or when he flies into space to find the furtherst reaches of reality that even the yellow emperor has never seen, and he finds a golden pillar and pees on it, and when he looks up he realizes he's standing in buddha's palm, peeing on his middle finger?

Ah. Looked cool though.

If meditating was that fun I'd do it every day.

at least it's a fun movie

Yes, it happened, i was there

I didn't realize you were in the same time and space as the Buddah Funky Monk.

That scene reminds me of something my gradparents would have on the tv while we eat Christmas dinner. One year it was vividly the zoolander gas fight and one year it was this movie.

There's been so many adaptations of JTTW over the decades. I've never seen once I liked, aside from Big Bird in China, and the picture book series.

Just read the original book. Unabridged, of course.
