My Name Is Xuanzang Peak School, Yang, Christie - 9 My name is Xuanzang I traveled from North to South I walk and ride upon my white horse Navigating the treacherous roads to enlightenment I sleep on rocky grounds with a rock for a pillow Other nights, I sleep on prickly grounds and a log as my pillow Every night was cold, uncomfortable and dark I traveled with very little food Upon hearing the trickling of water from a stream I stop to drink the fresh water I find fruits along my journey like peaches, grapes and kiwifruits I encourage myself to keep on going I am a man of great wisdom For I have suffered along my way to enlightenment.
