  • The Monkey King and the Road to the Scriptures

    The Monkey King and the Road to the Scriptures
    Jul 17 2026
    A stone monkey is born from a mountaintop egg, masters seventy-two transformations, storms the halls of heaven, and eats the peaches of immortality—until the Buddha traps him beneath a mountain for five hundred years. Set free at last, Sun Wukong must escort the monk Tripitaka westward to fetch sacred Buddhist scriptures, guarding him against demons alongside a pig-spirit and a river-monk. This retelling honors the beloved Chinese epic Journey to the West, from Monkey's proud rebellion to his hard-won path toward wisdom.
