Si-Yu-Ki Buddhist Records of the Western World

Translated from the Chinese of Hiuen Tsiang (A.D. 629): Volume II

About this book

Progress which has been made in our knowledge of Northern Buddhism during the last few years is due very considerably to the discovery of the Buddhist literature of China. This literature contains, amongst other valuable works, the records of the travels of various Chinese Buddhist pilgrims who visited India during the early centuries of our era. This is Volume II in a series of sixteen about Buddhism. Originally published in 1984, this volume offers a translation from Chinese of Hiuen Tsiang of A.D. 629 of the 'Si-Yu-Ki'.
