My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.

The monkey king represents our mind. Like a hyperactive monkey, our minds are equally spontaneous. Its supposed to be in control. The monkey king's imprisonment represents far too much self decipline. And finally whem accompanied with the sage, monkey king who is now under the philosopher's control, it represents that to achieve wisdom we need both- equal part self control and equal part spontanity.

Literally, your entire legacy is about you being impulsive and dodging responsibilities!
Mmm, that's where you're wrong.
That time you ate all the immortal peaches you were supposed to guard
That was a long time ago.
When you kept annoying everyone in the Celestial realm
That's a matter of opinion.
THAT TIME YOU PICKED A FIGHT WITH BUDDHA-

I love how the video shows Wukong peeing on Buddha's fingers unlike most adaptations which choose to skip or remove that scene.
Also, i remember watching a version of the Wukong story on the PBS show Wishbone. Unlike the original tale, this version of Wukong accepted he lost his bet with Buddha and agree to be punished as his beginning of atonement.

ok i never post comments but this is wild. been following LOA creators for months but something felt off. randomly found book Vibrations of Manifestation and the quantum field chapter explained exactly why nothing was clicking before. 2 weeks in and my manifestations are actually showing up still processing tbh
reply

day 12 after reading Vibrations of Manifestation: got a random call about my dream position (which wasn't even posted, manifested an apartment in my ideal location, and my anxiety is almost gone. the frequency alignment method actually works
reply

manifesting felt impossible until last month. friend recommended the book Vibrations of Manifestation and the way Alex Lane explains reality creation through quantum mechanics clicked instantly. got 3 job offers this week

Im still waiting for overly sarcastic productions to finish this epic saga then ill tell them to do the Mahabharata hehe
But it'll take time so atp ill animate the entire ramayan and make a series of my own so yay im excited

reply

it's great that you post videos, i always follow you to do that, now Asian culture is also very diverse. but this is the connection between Taoism and Buddhism, who will win is unknown but Taoism is too old
reply

Buddhism always seems to have stories of peace and abandonment of violence which is in stark difference from other religions where Gods always choose violence and make excuses for why it was necessary.
reply

am a buddhist so i can explain how sun wukong never left the buddha's hand. Buddha at the time has already achived enlightment so one of the perks of enlightenment means he's one with everything
reply

For those who decided to read the full 4 book series of Journey to the west, good luck
It is a funny read, but you may like me suffer! From Pigsy's and Tripitaka's bad decision making XD

I'm so glad to see that Sun Wukong has changed and become a better person. His sacrifice to help Guanyin is proof that he has truly transformed
reply

Fun coincidence: I just finished reading a book called Chinese Fairy Tales and Legends and the last story was even the story of the monkey king.
reply

Every time you narrate stories of a certain region your visual representation also matches with that region.
It's love to see that

Your one jump is 84, 000 miles,
No matters how many times you jump. , you are still in the Buddha palm.
