Buddhists call it the Tripitaka.
It is a famous Chinese story written by Wu' Cheng 'En in the 14th Century and was made into a TV program I loved to watch as a child called "Monkey"....
"In the Worlds 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 essence of the earth, the moisture of the sun and the moon all worked upon a certain rock...old as creation and it became magically fertile...that first egg was named 'thought'...Tathagata Buddha...the father Buddha said "with our thoughts, we make the world"...elementary forces caused the egg to hatch...from it, then came a stone monkey...the nature of monkey was...irrepressible!"
My memory isn't that bad. lol
