Xuanzang, commonly known as Chen Yi, was born in an official family in Guanzhong. In the eighth year of the great cause, the imperial court issued an order to ordain fourteen monks in Luoyang. Eleven-year-old Chen Yi used his own way to get the opportunity and was ordained as a novice monk, with the Buddhist name Xuanzang. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, all heroes came together, and famine spread in Luoyang, which was at the cusp of the storm. Nine out of ten houses were empty. Xuanzang began to study all over the world, worshiped famous teachers, and became a famous young monk. At the same time, he also accumulated more and more confusions and questions. When no one could answer his questions, Xuanzang set his sights on Tianzhu. 17 Years, 56 countries, 110 cities, 1,335 volumes of scriptures, 50,000 miles = Xuanzang's westward journey. The emerging Tang Dynasty, the Turks on horseback, the mysterious Central Asia, and India where various ideas collided... They were all revealed in Xuanzang's journey of seeking truth, which made him the greatest adventure in the history of human hiking.

If the Buddha does not come east, I will go west
We are accustomed to praying for blessings in front of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, but we don't know that blessings come not through seeking but through cultivation. If you continue to get rid of evil thoughts and deeds, no amount of prayer will be of any use. When we say we believe in Buddhism, we actually believe in cause and effect. If you want to get blessings, you have to plant causes; if you want to avoid suffering, you have to cut off all evils. All happiness and misfortune depend on you. Therefore, it is said: It is better to seek Buddhism than to learn Buddhism. Learning the great compassion and great wisdom of Buddhism is the real cause of happiness.
