Si-Yu-Ki V1

Si-Yu-Ki V1: Buddhist Records Of The Western World is a book written by Samuel Beal. It is a translation of the famous Chinese Buddhist text, the ""Si-Yu-Ki"" or ""Records of the Western World"". The book provides a detailed account of the travels of the Chinese Buddhist monk, Xuanzang, who journeyed to India in the 7th century CE to study Buddhism. The text describes his encounters with various Buddhist masters, his experiences at different Buddhist sites, and his observations on the social and cultural life of India during that time. The book also provides insights into the teachings and practices of Buddhism as they were understood and practiced in China during the Tang dynasty. It is an important historical document that sheds light on the early history of Buddhism in China and India, and is a valuable resource for scholars and students of Buddhism, Chinese history, and Indian history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
