Question
What would you do if you met foreign travellers like Yuan Chwang?
Solution
if I were to meet a foreign traveller, I would extend my friendship and try to grasp information from his vast knowledge. Probably I would also have accompanied him to Nalanda University. I would also have emulated his virtues, learnt Chinese (Mandarin) and helped him translate Buddhist manuscripts.
