About The Show
"Buddhist Monkey" is a spin-off Happy Tree Friends. The show is named after its main character Buddhist Monkey. In the series Buddhist Monkey, as well as fighting Generic Tree Ningas, fights more advanced warriors like Char Sew.The Dark Shadow Lord is revealed to be Buddhist Monkey's worst enemy and constantly sends out ningas and warriors to kill him. Despite this, Buddhist Monkey has never met The Dark Shadow Lord once and might not even knows he exsits. It is also the very first time in Happy Tree Friends (apart from the cliff-hangers) that a sense of continuity is hinted. Panda Mom and her baby return for "Buddhist Monkey" and it is hinted they are poor. The Generic Tree Ninja also make a brief cameo. There may be a continous plot throughout the series.

Buddhist Monkey
In the series, some of Buddhist Monkey's past is revealed. It shows he was trained by the Orangutan Master as a child. It show Buddhist Monkey to have an afro, but it was burnt of by the Orangutan Master, thus the dot on his head. He also had a problem summoning fire when he was training, but managed to do finally do it while figthing Char Sew and the Giant Crab. It is also revealed that his trainer, The Orangutan Master, died between his training and the episode as Buddhist Monkey visits his grave and his spirit visited Buddhist Monkey in a battle with Char Sew and The Giant Crab. It is likely that more of Buddhist Monkey's personality and past will be revealed in future episodes.

Setting
The series, like Enter the Garden and Books of Fury, is set in oriental China. It is likely that the location would change every episode (though they may return to some locations). It showed where The Dark Shadow Lord lived and it is likely that The Dark Shadow Lord's castle will be seen again in future episodes. As it is set in China, it is likely to have Chinese characters (e.g. pandas, bears, etc.).
