One allegory lost in translation of Journey to the West is the location where the Monkey King studied his taoist skills first from Puti Zushi (Bodhidharma), 斜月三星洞 which is translated as "Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave", but a slated stroke and three dots is how you write 心 (The Heart), so in seeking immortality, he is actually searching his heart for the answers and direction to life.
