Ch7

I’ll have a wager with you,’ said Buddha.’ If you are really so clever,jump off the palm of my right hand. If you succeed, I’ll tel the Jade Emperor to come and live with me in the Western Paradise, and you shall have his throne without further ado.But if you fail, you shall go back to earth do penanceĀ  there for many a kalpa before you come to again with your talk, (pg 75)

The quote significance is that it meant to show the monkey king is not the mightiest of them all. It also the start of where he lost his bet and is trapped under the five elemental mountain.
