The story ends with the Great Buddha imprisoning the Monkey King under a mountain that used to be his palm for 500 years to learn patience and humility. Two earth spirits feed him iron pellets when he is hungry and molten copper when he is thirsty. After this the Monkey King goes on a pilgrimage with Tang Sanzang on his Journey to the West to India where he learns the teaching of Buddhism. After this he officially becomes a Buddha and is granted the moniker 'Victorious Fighting Buddha. ' I think the story really tells of the virtues of Buddhism and how patience and kindness can soothe even the most unpredictable and seemingly uncontrollable souls.

I heard stories about sun wukong when I was a little boy from my dad. It feels me with joy and excitement to imagine how sun wukong outsmarted his enemies. After seeing this video it still feels me with childlike joy and excitement from my younger days. Thank you Ted-ed for sharing this wonderful piece of an almost forgotten past.

My introduction to _Journey to the West_ is that one Capcom game called _SonSon. _ Sun Wukong in this game later got a granddaughter who is one of the main rosters of _Marvel vs. Capcom_ series.

What I've learned from this story is, Sun Wukong can do WHATEVER he wants with no recourse. Just add more and more things that just drag the story on. Like Alice in Wonderland lol

There is something about the King of Gods getting jealous or anxious about someone becoming more powerful than him. You see it in all the old legends.

Son Wukong is one of my go to guys in the Shin Megami Tensei series. I love hearing the lore behind the characters in mythology
