Wednesday
Travelling further east, I reached Kunduz, where I had time to witness the funeral rites of Prince Tardu. I feel so sorry for him. He was poisoned. There, I met a Bhuddist monk, Dharmasimha. On the advice of the late Tardu, i travelled westwards to Balkh to see the Bhuddist sites and relics. It was wonderful. I met 3000 Bhuddist monks there. I accomponied some of them to Baniyam where I met the king and saw Bamiyan Bhuddas carved on rock face. It was truly spectacular. I crossed the Shibar pass, and arrived in Kapisi which sported over 100 monastaries and 6000 monks. I am now in Gandhara, taking part in relegious debates and demonstrating my knowledge of Bhuddisim in many Bhuddist sects. I have yet to reach India, but it is drawing near.
