Question

Discuss in short the Xuan Zang’s visit to India.

✓

Answer

Xuan Zang came to India about 1400 years ago. He came to visit places associated with the life of the Buddha as well as famous Buddhist monasteries.
He took the land route back to China (through the north-west, and Central Asia). He carried back with him statues of the Buddha made of gold, silver and sandalwood, and over 600 manuscripts on the backs of 20 horses.
Over 50 manuscripts were lost when the boat on which he was crossing the Indus capsized.
Xuan Zang spent the rest of his life translating the remaining manuscripts from Sanskrit into Chinese.
