Book Description:
This book contains a biographical account of his life by his disciple Hwui Li. It elucidates the details relating to the events in the life of the great scholars, saint and pilgrim traveler. The life is divided into five books and covers the entire life span of Hiuen Tsiang, beginning with his birth till his death in the year 664. The description of the eventful life of his master which was as much occupied by travels as by an almost unbelievably gigantic task of translating a large number of original Buddhist works from Sanskrit into Chinese is marked by reverential attitude and makes a fascinating reading. But more than that, it is a compendium of information on contemporary China, India and those remote parts of Central Asia which the great pilgrim traversed during his journey to India. Samuel Beal's translation of this book from original Chinese is an authentic rendering with copious notes on controversial matters. It also contains an account of the works if I Tsing who also journeyed into India in the footsteps of Hiuen Tsiang.
