After 500 years of penance Monkey King is visited by the fairy Guanyin, whom he addresses as “Goddess of Mercy,” and, promising to be good from now on, begs to be set free. Moved by his plea, she presents his petition to the Great Buddha, who agrees on condition that Monkey King accompany Tang Monk as a bodyguard on his journey to the West to obtain sacred Buddhist scriptures. Monkey King saves the monk from a charging tiger and then from bandits, but impulsively returns to his old ways of behaving, again requiring intervention from the Buddha and Guanyin who entrust the monk with some restraints for the monkey. Monk and monkey travel on, along the way rescuing, reforming, and recruiting a new mount for the monk and two new disciples, Brother Boar and Friar Sand. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Great were the sins of Monkey King as he created havoc in heaven, and fair was the punishment pinned on him at the foot of Five-Finger Mountain. Is our legendary creature ready to embrace a teachable spirit when grace comes his way and gives him a second chance?As part of the redemptive plan, Monkey King is called to escort an important mission to ensure its safety and success. Enter Tang Monk, the leader of the expedition, and Brother Boar and Friar Sand, two unexpected companions on the trip. Mingled with fables and beliefs, this episode of Monkey King takes us on an adventurous and action-packed journey to the West. Readers will find the text irresistible and consistent with the two previous storytellings of our beloved character. In addition to his physical prowess, the author brings out a redeeming quality of prudence and wisdom in Monkey King. The artist joins in with vivid illustrations of engaging portraits and delightful landscapes. Together they make this volume a third part to an indispensable collection for any home, school or library. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
