Hi Monkey fans!
How awesome to find you all, :o I've watched the Monkey series every time it was aired on ABC in Australia since I was 5 years old (25 years ago) I dare you to say you loved it more than me <g>
But seriously, right now I need to find someone who loved it enough (maybe more than me) to either commit to memory or know of some access to a transcript of the original introduction, you know the one... "In the beginning... there was thought.. Gatablahnevercould pronounce it Buddha the ?? Buddha said 'with our thoughts we make the world'..." Okay thats all I can remember, and I kind of hoped I culd get my hands on the rest..
Can anyone help.
:)

Aw. And here was me going to go on about the wonders of google!
Well, I'm not one to let something like a solved problem get in my way of helping!!!

In the world before Monkey, primal chaos reigned. Heaven sought order, but the phoenix can fly only when it's feathers are grown. The four worlds formed again and yet again, as endless aeons wheeled and passed. Time and the pure essences of Heaven all worked upon a certain rock, old as creation. It became magically fertile. The first egg was named "Thought". Tathagata Buddha, the Father Buddha said "With our thoughts, we make the world". Elemental forces caused the egg to hatch. From it came a stone monkey.
The nature of monkey was irrepressible!! |
So there!
:P
I was sure it was "Tafakata Buddha",
perhaps just a variation in spelling?
