The Buddha Saves Heaven — The Great Banquet of Heavenly Peace | Journey to the West 7.3

The mighty Sun Wukong has finally been subdued.

After losing his wager with the Buddha, the Monkey King is trapped beneath the enormous Five-Finger Mountain. His extraordinary powers have failed him, and Heaven is finally free from his rebellion.

But what happens next?

The Jade Emperor is filled with gratitude towards the Buddha for bringing peace to the Heavenly Court. He invites the Buddha to the celestial palace, where a magnificent celebration is prepared in his honour.

The Buddha gives the celebration a special name: The Great Banquet of Heavenly Peace

Immortals and heavenly officials gather together. Divine music fills the palace, celestial delicacies are served, and the gods celebrate the restoration of order in Heaven.

Yet far away, beneath the Five-Finger Mountain, Sun Wukong remains trapped.

The seventh chapter of *Journey to the West* ends with a striking contrast: Heaven celebrates its victory, while the once-proud Monkey King faces an entirely different fate.

But is this truly the end of Sun Wukong's story?

Or is a much greater journey still waiting for him?

Join Joy for the conclusion of this extraordinary chapter of *Journey to the West*.
