Good question....In my case the problem is that they put the "z" next to 
the "x" in my keyboard. Next time I'll probably spell it Xuan \hang.

 While on the topic of travellers, do you know whether the Indian monk 
met by Kuukai in Nara was an isolated case or were there other brave 
Indian Buddhists who undertook the long trip to Japan?

Thanking you in advance,

Alberto Todeschini
