From the Publisher
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.
Buddhist scholar
J. Barthelemy Saint-Hilaire has authored a number
of widely read works on Buddhism. His Buddhism in
India and The Buddha and His Religion are
considered to be pioneering comprehensive works on
the subject.
