"Master Xuanzang is the leader of the sect. He is chaste and sensitive at an early age, and he realizes the three emptinesses early. He has a long-lasting understanding, and he is the first to practice the four forbearances. The pines, fengshui, and moon are not as beautiful as Qinghua; the dew and pearls of celestial beings can only make them bright and moist. Therefore, he is wise and untiring, and his divine judgment is not visible. He is far beyond the six dusts, and has no right through the ages." ("The Preface to the Holy Teachings of Tripitaka of the Tang Dynasty")
