Success

During my travels, my effort to translate and bring back more Sacred Budihs Books to China was sucessful. When I rreturned, I brought a number of 657 Sanskrit texts. With the emperor's support, I set up a large translation bureau in Chang'an, drawing a number of students and collaborators from all over East Asia. I was then credited with the translatin of some 1,330 fascicles of scriptures into Chinese.

Under the emperor request in AD 646, I completed the book, Journey to the West in the Tang Dynasty.
