| | Xuanzang |
 | | The Buddhist kings often tried to convince Xuanzang to stay and lead their Buddhist churches. | | | But as Buddhism had spread “the sounds of the words translated were often mistaken...and the sense of the books was lost.” Xuanzang realized if he wanted to know the true teachings of the Buddha he would have to go to India. | | | After 13 years in India, Xuanzang set off for China with a huge library of Buddhist texts loaded onto horses and an elephant given to him by the king. |

| | The Spirit of Things: 4 July 2004 - The Monk & the Modern Girl |
| | When Xuanzang passed through, there were tens of thousands of Buddhist monks debating about everything, different schools of Buddhism, and he was so impressed, he left an account of the biggest statues that were built in the world to show their devotion to Buddha. | | | Rachael Kohn: Well, Shuyun, Xuanzang was a Mahayana Buddhist so he believed in perhaps a more deified notion of a Buddha and certainly in all the Bodhisattvas who save ordinary human beings, but you seem to be talking perhaps more of a Buddha who was a man, more in the Hinayana tradition. | | | Afghanistan was really the second most important place for Buddhism because it was the first place where Buddhist disciples went to spread the message and it was the first place where Buddhist stupa were built. |

| | Understanding Xuanzang and the Xuanzang spirit - Haraprasad Ray |
| | Xuanzang is regarded as one of the best scholars of Buddhism for all times. | | | Xuanzang was fully aware of the fact that a knowledge of the non-Buddhist systems of philosophy was essential for a thorough understanding of the Buddhist doctrine, and also to refute the arguments of the opponents. | | | Although a Mahayanist by faith, Xuanzang’s ideal was to possess a perfect knowledge of all the trends represented by various Buddhist schools, particularly of the Sarvastivada school, a very elaborate system, whose knowledge is essential for an understanding of the intricacies of the Buddhist doctrine. |

| | Northern India was considered the holy land of Buddhism, known by Buddhists in Tang China as Bei Tianshu. | | | With imperial sponsorship, Xuanzang would in his life be the prodigious translator of Yogacara-bhumi, a treatise of the Yogacara school of Indian Mahayana Buddhism (Dasheng, meaning "major vehicle"), and establish a new denomination that would call itself the Faxiang sect (Methodist Divination). | | | Taoists challenge Buddhist precepts with obvious demographic evidence on the discrepancy between the spread of Buddhism and the persistent increase of misery in the world's growing population. |

| | Xuanzang's main interest centred on the philosophy of the Yogacara (Vijnanavada) school, and he and his disciple Kuiji (632–682) were responsible for the formation of the Weishi (Consciousness Only school) in China. | | | Xuanzang spent the remainder of his life translating the Buddhist scriptures, numbering 657 items packed in 520 cases, that he brought back from India. | | | Born into a family in which there had been scholars for generations, Xuanzang received a classical Confucian education in his youth, but under the influence of an older brother he became interested in the Buddhist scriptures and was soon converted to Buddhism. |

| | Xuanzang's account is full of traditions about the activities of Kushan king Kanishka (probably he ruled around 100 CE) and his much earlier north Indian predecessor, the Mauryan emperor Ashoka, both of whom are revered in Buddhist history for their roles in spreading the faith. | | | The important thing to note is that Xuanzang wanted to be sure to visit all the sites connected with the life of the historical Buddha, born a prince by the name of Siddharta Gautama in the fifth century BCE in the Himalayan foothill town of Lumbini. | | | Before we and Xuanzang leave Gandhara it is important to note the region's critical role in the emergence of a standard Buddhist iconography. |

| | Xuanzang, a brilliant and devout man, in the end believed that going to India was the only way to answer questions that troubled Chinese Buddhists. | | | In 629 C.E., a Chinese Buddhist monk named Xuanzang wanted to go west to India to learn more about Buddhism, but at the time, the emperor had forbidden travel outside China. | | | He was to have many adventures as he worked his way through India, on to Nepal, the home of the Buddha, and then to Nalanda where he spent many years living with the greatest teachers and thinkers of this time. |

| | After several years of study, Xuanzang had become dissatisfied with the doctrinal contradictions of the competing schools of Buddhism. | | | Interest in religion was a dangerous thing, and her only exposure to Buddhism was through her maternal grandmother, who sat up through the night to chant her prayers in secret. | | | China wanted to maintain relations with Cambodia, Laos and other Buddhist countries, so when visitors arrived, monks were rounded up from all over the city and dressed up in robes to simulate the life of a functioning monastery. |

| | Xuanzang’s family, in other words, could be one of those which, while fully participatory (as far as we could learn from history) in all aspects of Chinese life of their time, was also subscribing to a form of cultural diversity. | | | For to think, as Xuanzang the young Buddhist zealot obviously did, that Buddhist writings were necessary to the welfare and fulfillment of the Chinese people is in essence to deny the self-sufficiency or adequacy of indigenous wisdom and thought, and to identify one’s deepest norms and values with something regarded as non-Chinese. | | | Xuanzang had to go to India because his religion compelled him, and because he regarded those missing scriptures and unclarified teachings as a supreme good for his own people. |
