Poems
Here is a poem that proves Zhu Bajie's consent to join Sanzang and Wukong in their journey to attain the scriptures:
- The Golden Vajra is stronger than Wood,
- The Mind Ape could bring the Wooden Dragon to submission.
- When Metal obeyed and Wood was tamed they were at one;
- When Wood was loving and Metal kind they worked together.
- One host and one guest with nothing to keep them apart,
- With the three in harmony they had a mysterious power.
- Nature and feelings both rejoiced as they joined in the Supreme Principle;
- They both promised without reservation to go to the West.
