**Account of Buddhist Education.** We shall now deal with the conditions and circumstances of Buddhist education as observed by our traveller. Many were the centres of that education and the monks availing themselves of it. In the time of Hiuen Tsang Buddhist thought was represented by a good number of schools, each of which claimed and counted many monasteries specializing in the study of its doctrines and practices. We shall now refer to these institutions¹ in the order in which they are mentioned by our traveller.
