Additional quotes by Xuanzang

They are pure of themselves, and not from compulsion. Before every meal they must have a wash; the fragments and remains are not served up again; the food utensils are not passed on; those which are of pottery or of wood must be thrown away after use, and those which are of gold, silver, copper or iron get another polishing. As soon as a meal is over they chew the tooth-stick and make themselves clean. Before they have finished ablutions they do not come in contact with each other.

If any one here can find a single wrong argument and can refute it, I will let him cut off my head.

The ordinary people … are upright and honourable... They are faithful to their oaths and promises... In their behavior there is much gentleness and sweetness.

He went from east to west subduing all who were not obedient; the elephants were not unharnessed, nor the soldiers unhelmeted. - Xuanzang
