About the Author

Hsuan-Tsang, also known as Ca.596-664 and translated by Samuel Beal, was a renowned Chinese Buddhist monk, scholar, and translator whose extensive travels across Asia in the seventh century shaped the transmission of Buddhist teachings. His meticulous records offer invaluable insights into the cultures, geography, and religious practices of the regions he visited, blending personal narrative with historical observation. Beal's 1884 English translation of these accounts preserves the depth and clarity of Hsuan-Tsang's original observations for modern readers.
