China Tales and Stories: XUAN ZANG (Chinese Edition) Mead-Hill's Xuan Zang tells the story of the actual beginnings of the esteemed monk, Xuan Zang's, journey to the west. Beginning with his life as a young boy, the tale progresses through his confronting a variety of obstacles on his way to living out what became a lifelong adventure. Setting out from his hometown, the boy moves steadily westward in his life, visiting, residing, and studying in a variety of foreign lands. He finds his way, of course, to India - his goal. After some years there, he puts together all his gathered knowledge so as to fulfill what he'd always intended: to bring it all back home. Overall, his passion, determination, and subsequent adventure beginning through end, are what in combination is credited with providing for the true beginning of Buddhism in China.
