Xuanzang should be known as one of the world's great heroes. His
travels are legendary. He brought true Buddhism to China. His own
book provides a unique record of the history and culture of his
time. Yet he is unknown to most of us and even to most Chinese.;Sun
Shuyun, herself brought up in China, was determined to follow in
his footsteps, discover more about Xuanzang and restore his fame.
So she retraced his journey from China to India and back. In the
8th century, crossing 110 kingdoms, he took 18 years. He opened up
the east and west of Asia to each other - and to us.;A man of great
faith and determination, Xuanzang won the hearts of kings and
robbers with his teaching, his charm and his indomitable will.
Against all odds he persuaded the Confucian emperors to allow
Buddhism to flourish in China.;At the heart of this book lies Sun
Shuyun's own personal journey towards understanding the Buddhist
faith of her grandmother, recognizing also the passionate idealism
of the communist beliefs of her own family and discovering her own
beliefs.
