of Xuan Zang, the pious Tang dynasty monk and his three
storybook disciples: the indestructible Monkey King, the Great
Sage; Brother Pig, the Eight Denials (of Buddhism) and Sand
Monk, the third disciple. In real life, Xuan Zang was a truly
remarkable Buddhist monk. He travelled on land on the way
through hostile and uncharted territory to the birthplace of
Buddha in the Indian sub-continent and returned to Changâan
(modern day Xiâan) with a set of Buddhist sutras. The
voluminous set of sutras was written in the extremely
difficult Sanskrit language. Together with his doyens of pupils,
he completed the translation of some 75 volumes of the sutras into
the equally difficult Chinese languages </fo:block>

Tang dynasty were difficult to comprehend because the first
translators were Buddhist monks of non-Han Chinese origin. It
took China several hundred years to bring forth a selection of

well as the complex Buddhism doctrines, which were written in
Sanskrit. And Xuan Zang was recognised as foremost among them.
He was appointed chief of the Tang dynasty imperial translation
centre. It was he who designed and implemented a translation
workflow that would guarantee the quality of the final
product. The process detailed below is well worth adopting by
any modern day translation team. </fo:block>

the translation of the Buddhist sutras. He was able to excel
not only was he an outstanding linguist but also he was
wholeheartedly committed to the task as a devoted Buddhist
with an extraordinary understanding of its contents. Indeed,
he dedicated thirteen years of his life to the task. And the
task was not simply transforming one language into another. In
order to effectively spread Buddhism, the sutras in Chinese
would have to be understood by the Chinese devotees. In other
words, he had to take into account the marketplace. Was it
intended for the gentry for whom Buddhism depended for their
financial support or was it for the less literate general
populace to widen market share or was it for both? </fo:block>
