In the worlds before Monkey, primal chaos reigned. Heavens sought order. But the phoenix can fly only when its feathers are grown. The four worlds formed again and yet again, as endless aeons wheeled and passed. Time and the pure essence of Heaven, the moisture of the Earth, the powers of the Sun and the Moon all worked upon a certain rock, old as creation. And it became magically fertile. That first egg was named "Thought". Tathagata Buddha, the Father Buddha, said, "With our thoughts, we make the World". Elemental forces caused the egg to hatch. From it came a stone monkey.
The nature of Monkey was irrepressible!
Monkeeeeeeeeeey!
Welcome to Monkey Web, home of all things "Monkey".
Monkey was a TV program first made in the late '70s, based around a story written by Wu Ch' Eng-En. The story follows Monkey, as he escorts the character "Tripitaka" on a mission to retrieve Buddhist scriptures from a monastery in India. Traveling with them are the pig monster "Pigsy" and the water monster "Sandy". The character "Tripitaka" was based on a person called Hsüan Tsang who actually ventured to India in 629A.D to retrieve Buddhist scriptures.
