Introduction
The divine root conceives, its source revealed; Mind and nature nurtured, the Great Dao is born
Fully awoke to Bodhi's wondrous truths; He cuts off Mara, returns to the root, and joins Primal Spirit
Four Seas and a Thousand Mountains all bow to submit; From Ninefold Darkness ten species' names are removed
Appointed a BanHorse, could he be content? Named Equal to Heaven, he's still not appeased
Disrupting the Peach Festival, the Great Sage steals elixir; With revolt in Heaven, many gods would seize the fiend
Guanyin, attending the banquet, inquires into the cause; The Little Sage, exerting his power, subdues the Great Sage
From the Eight Trigrams Brazier the Great Sage escapes; Beneath the Five Phases Mountain, Mind Monkey is still
Our Buddha makes scriptures to impart ultimate bliss; Guanyin receives the decree to go up to Chang'an
Chen Guangrui, going to his post, meets disaster; Monk River Float, avenging his parents, repays his roots
The Old Dragon King's foolish schemes transgress Heaven's decrees; Prime Minister Wei's letter seeks help from an official of the dead
Having toured the Underworld, Taizong returns to life; Having presented melons and fruits, Liu Quan marries again
The Tang emperor, firmly sincere, convenes a Grand Mass; Guanyin, in epiphany, converts Gold Cicada
In the den of tigers, the Gold Star brings deliverance; At Double-Fork Ridge, Boqin detains the monk
Mind Monkey returns to the Right; The Six Robbers vanish from sight
At Serpent Coil Mountain, the gods give secret protection; At Eagle Grief Stream, the Horse of the Will is reined
At Guanyin Hall the monks plot for the treasure; At Black Wind Mountain a monster steals the cassock
Pilgrim Sun greatly disturbs the Black Wind Mountain; Guanshiyin brings to submission the bear monster
At Guanyin Hall the Tang Monk leaves his ordeal; At Gao Village the Great Sage casts out the monster
At Cloudy Paths Cave, Wukong takes in Eight Rules; At Pagoda Mountain, Tripitaka receives the Heart Sutra
At Yellow Wind Ridge the Tang Monk meets adversity; In mid-mountain, Eight Rules strives to be first
The Viharapalas prepare lodging for the Great Sage; Lingji of Sumeru crushes the wind demon
Eight Rules fights fiercely at the Flowing-Sand River; Moksa by order receives Wujing's submission
Tripitaka does not forget his origin; The Four Sages test the priestly mind
At Long Life Mountain the Great Immortal detains his old friend; At Five Villages Abbey, Pilgrim steals the ginseng fruit
The Zhenyuan Immortal gives chase to catch the scripture monk; Pilgrim Sun greatly disturbs Five Villages Abbey
