| GUEST59096 | hinduism and buddhism are different religions, and you cannot say that one is the incarnation of another. at most it would be appropriate to say that one myth was based off the other, or that they share a common origin |

| GUEST25101 | Typical Chinese, Copy a earlier story, add your own blood & guts+ cheesy special effects and say it is the original. Uneducated masses cut off from the rest of the world's version of history, who's gonna know! Plus you can make some Yuan! |

| GUEST61763 | To KEVIN0518: After reading through some of the literature of both epics, here is what I can deduce. Hanuman has a natural birth story given to a demi-god herself but as yet is not a goddess when she gave birth to him. His father however is a God, and Hanuman was also bestowed the life energy of a major God as his avatar. In his journey, he was a loyal servant, not a king, to the prince Rama, another avatar form of another major god. Their epic leads hanuman to accomplish massive feats like moving mountains and islands, changing in size/weight and summoning a monkey army as well. However, he never learned bestial transformation during the Ramayana epic. His battles in Ramayana were conceptual and moral plus he was a servant so he never learnt the bestial transformation skill as sun wukong did because he was in battle against his own human/monkey/spiritual kind. The thing about the Ramayana epic is, Hanuman did not have a happy ending..infact it was lonely, obscure and rather naive. Hanuman was extremely devoted to the point that some would consider it obsession. After the ramayana war, Hanuman was left on earth because he wanted to ensure that Rama's name and Shiva (The major God that is the avatar), lived on. However, before Rama left him, he asked Hanuman to search for a ring, deep in the mountain, only there was no ring, it was a decoy to allow Rama to leave without Hanuman being present to stop him from departing. Guess what, in that mountain realm, Hanuman meets Vasukhi, King of Naglok and king of serpents, who tells him the true story why Rama asked him here. Vasukhi is also known in chinese and japanese mythology as one of the eighth great dragon kings. Suddenly, you hear a story of another monkey, known as the monkey king, bursting out of a mountain after years of slumber...well guess what, Sun Wukong is the rejection of Hanuman against his old traditions after learning the ways of the dragon kings as he kept searching for the ring in the mountain. He was not made of stone...he was already a God, only he was left to torment in misery away from his master and became crazy as well as intense into the figure we know today as Sun WuKong, legendary monkey king, a rightful king after the endurance he was put in the Ramayana Epic Journey to the West never explained why he was crazy, here I have explained why |

| GUESTPRAVEEN... | I dont know much about Sun wukong but from what i've seen in monkey king movies , Hanuman and Sun wukong feels the same.... . Hanuman as a child created troubles to Lord Indra and also had lot of great victories. Most importantly Sun god is his Guru(teacher). Also cursed to forget his power until reminded by some one.which Jambavanth did in Ramayana. And Hanuman played a very very important role in Ramayana.Similarly , i've seen in movies that Sun wukong had similar childhood and also created troubles in heaven and later Lord Buddha imprisioned him for few years untill a saint released him and the goddess set Sun wukong's path to help the saint to retreve some scrolls. In which ,Sun wukong also played very very important role. And most importantly Sun wukong is also a student of sun god. So, guys they both seem pretty much equal to me. Except when i googled their year of birth's Hanuman came up 1100 BC and Sun wukong's arround 700BC. |

| GUEST10128 | they are one and the same. often different cultures in different geographic locations refer to the same thing/person in different ways, along different timelines. Both MK and Hanuman have similar characteristics and attitudes, mischief, loyalty and protective instinct behaviours, just along the different times of the same timeline. |
