	Hsuan Tsang - LoveToKnow 1911
		Hstian Tsang was born in the district of Keu-Shi, near HonanFu, about 605, a period at which Buddhism appears to have had a powerful influence upon a large body of educated Chinese.
		After great suffering Hsiian Tsang reached Igu, the seat of a Turkish principality, and pursued his way along the southern foot of the T'ian-shan, which he crossed by a glacier pass (vividly described) in the longitude of Lake Issyk-kul.
		In the valley of the Talas river he encounters the great khan of the Turks on a hunting party, - a rencontre which it is interesting to compare with the visit of Zemarchus to the great khan Dizabul, sixty years before, in the same region.

		Hsuan Tsang, for example, wrote about the huge standing Buddhas that stood in the stone recesses of the monastery at Bamiyan until they were recently effaced as icons too offensive to the version of Islam practiced by the Taliban.
		Hsuan Tsang's lifetime, it should be remembered, overlaps that of Muhammad; so the area over which he passed, which has been an intersection of Buddhist and Islamic cultures for centuries, had not yet been visited by Muslims, who were a group in the making when the young monk left Chang'an.
		Among the many delights that gradually embroidered the historical Hsuan Tsang's journey to the west are the the motley crew of pilgrims who accompany the fictional Hsuan Tsang.

		Hsuan Tsang went to a dagoba that housed the Buddha's sacred relics, saw the stele of King Ashoka, passed by the Macaque Pond, visited the historical remains of many other dagobas, and went to the lecture halls in the city.
		Hsuan Tsang could finally enjoy the fruits of his labor and no longer needed to be tortured by the blazing sun or chilly winds when he went out.

		Hsuan Tsang was especially interested in the Yogachara philosophy and so he collected manuscripts of the principal Sanskrit texts and later while in China he translated them into Chinese.
		Thus, even though Hsuan Tsang became the founder of the Pure Consciousness School in China, in his extensive writings he nowhere mentions Tibetans and Dzogchen and his Chinese Sutric school could not be source of Dzogchen, as Evans-Wents appears to suggest in the above quotation.
		However, gradually the interpretation of Indian Buddhism and Taoist spirituality led to the manifestation of the characteristically Chinese form of Buddhism, as opposed to being merely Indian Buddhism transplanted to China.
