The digitisation of this manuscript has been generously sponsored by Rick Gibson with the following dedication: In memory of a remarkable journey from Kunming to Karachi via the Tibetan Grasslands of Sichuan,the caves of Dunhuang, Kashgar, Gilgit and Peshawar in 1993 with my dear friend Ivan Campbell. I doodled and wrote as I travelled, much as the writer of this parchment did centuries beforehand.
