This study introduces new material in the literature on the Tang monk's journey to the West through recorded texts, and compares it to the literature of the same category in Wang Xiyuan's The Secret Religions of the West Guangxi Folk; it turns out that, just like the Buddhist Sutra Invocation, they are all ritual texts on the Tang monk's journey to the West preceding the fast offering ritual texts. This type of ritual text is commonly found in fast offering ritual texts and is one of the markers of their sacredness and validity.
