 | | One of the most popular novels in the history of Buddhism (as well as in Chinese literature) is Journey to the West, also known as The Monkey King, written by Wu Chengen about 500 years ago, during the Ming Dynasty. |
 | | It had been made into various dramas, movies, cartoons, TV series, and operas throughout the last several centuries in Asia. |
 | | However, the Journey to India was many thousand miles long, and the route was full of man-eating wild beasts, monsters, devils, demons, and plagued with other difficulties. |
