The saga of the seventh-century Chinese monk Xuanzang, who completed an epic sixteen-year journey to discover the heart of Buddhism at its source in India, is a splendid story of human struggle and triumph. One of China's great heroes, Xuanzang is introduced here for the first time to Western readers in this richly illustrated book.
Sally Hovey Wrigginsis a writer and lecturer who has lived in Sri Lanka twice,most recently as the wife of the American ambassador. While there, she studied Buddhism with the Venerable Kheminda Thero. Her interest in Xuanzang dates back to 1977 when White Monkey King was published. Since then she has written of Xuanzang's extensive Asian travels in Archeology and Orientations.
