Walk the Silk Road with the Buddhist monk who crisscrossed the
Asian continent and prompted a great cultural exchange between
India and China. The Silk Road Journey with Xuanzang tells the saga
of the seventh-century Chinese monk Xuanzang, one of Chinas great
heroes, who completed an epic sixteen-year-long journey to discover
the heart of Buddhism at its source in India. Eight centuries
before Columbus, this intrepid pilgrim traveled 10,000 miles on the
Silk Road, meeting most of Asias important leaders at that time. In
this revised and updated edition, Sally Hovey Wriggins, the first
Westerner to walk in Xuanzangs footsteps, brings to life a
courageous explorer and devoutly religious man. Through Wrigginss
telling of Xuanzangs fascinating and extensive journey, the reader
comes to know the contours of the Silk Road, Buddhist art and
archaeology, the principles of Buddhism, as well as the geography
and history of China, Central Asia, and India. The Silk Road
Journey with Xuanzang is an inspiring story of human struggle and
triumph, and a touchstone for understanding the religions, art, and
culture of Asia.
