My point is that this discussion is about the character from the novel. Even his article is named "Sun Wukong (myth)". His mythos comes primarily from said novel. Disregarding portions of the novel and any underlying religious meaning makes no sense.Antvasima said:Lots of derivative stories (games, comics, books, TV series, movies, etcetera) feature characters from major religions, but unless they reference the feats and natures described within the original myths, we cannot use them for scaling.

Is not up to interpretation. In all mahayana traditions the buddha is at least 1-A, trascending the concepts of space, time and duality, and in most of them he trascends the concepts of meaning and description.Matthew Schroeder said:I don't think we should us those multiverse quotes from Buddhism. It's highly interpretative and a Buddha could be anyway from 2-B to 1-A from interpretations.
