CHAPTER 36.
Jesus in Lassa. He meets Meng-ste who aids him in reading the ancient manuscripts. He goes to Ladak. Heals a child. Relates the parable of the king’s son.
In Lassa of Tibet there was a master’s temple, rich in manuscripts of ancient lore.
2 The Indian sage had read these manuscripts, and he revealed to Jesus many of the secret lessons they contained; but Jesus wished to read them for himself.
3 Now, Meng-ste, greatest sage of all the farther East, was in this temple of Tibet.
4 The path across Emodus heights was difficult; but Jesus started on his way, and Vidyapati sent with him a trusted guide.
5 And Vidyapati sent a message to Meng-ste, in which he told about the Hebrew sage, and spoke for him a welcome by the temple priests.
