Examples of "mind monkey" are predictably common in Chinese popular culture. For instance, "Sam yuen yi ma" 心猿意馬 – the Cantonese pronunciation of "Xinyuanyima" "mind-monkey will-horse" – was a 1999 Hong Kong movie (known in English as "The Accident") by Stanley Kwan. However, examples of "mind monkey" are surprisingly widespread in modern English culture. For instance, there are blogs named "Mind Monkey!", "Mind of the Monkey", "Monkey Mind", and "No monkey mind". Author Steve Michael Reedy explores the concept of the Monkey Mind through his collection of children's fantasy stories in "Tales For Your Monkey's Mind."
