Hiouen-Thsang In India

Hiouen-Thsang, the famous Chinese pilgrim travelled in India before the advent of the Islamic rulers. Those were the days when the country was exclusively Brahmanist and Buddhist. This volume, an extract from the author’s larger work, Buddhism in India, deals in particular with the memoirs or Hiouen-Thsang. It gives a picture of the condition of Buddhism in India in the middle of the seventh century, and concludes with a summary of Indian Buddhism. This valuable document is a must read for students of religious history.
