About this ebook
The Jade Emperor asked the Buddha to help subdue the monkey after he created havoc in Heaven. The Buddha created the Mountain of Five Elements to imprison the monkey. Five centuries later, Xuanzang, an eminent Buddhist monk, was entrusted by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty to retrieve Buddhist sutrasfrom the Western Continent. On his way west, Xuanzang rescued the monkey. Enlightened by GuanyinBodhisattva, the monkey converted to Buddhism and became Xuanzang’s disciple to guard him all the way tothe Western Continent. To maintain control of the unruly monkey, Guanyin instructed Xuanzang to put agolden hoop on the monkey’s head and recite the hoop-tightening spell to punish any disobedience. Thespell caused the monkey to writhe in agony and promise to behave. Guanyin also subdued a white dragon andtransformed him into a horse to carry Xuanzang on his journey.
