Description
Before the advent of Islam, South East Asia was under the influence of Buddhism in most aspects of life. The majority of the people were ad­herents of Buddhism, though there were few followers of Hinduism and certain indigenous religions before the establishment of Malaccan Sultanates. This book is the English translation of the Chinese account, Nanhai Jigui Neifa Zhuan. This book is the travel account by I-Tsing, who was a Chinese Buddhist monk who visited India, and South East Asia, especially Srivijaya during his stay from c.671-695 ce. This book comprises description of his early life, his departure from China, and his visit to India and South East Asia. His detailed description of the population living in the area, several kinds of literature written by Buddhist monks/teachers and laymen, and records of Buddhist practices are noteworthy to the students of Buddhism in Southeast Asia.
