Too many readers have told me that after reading "Live Up to the Tathagata, Live Up to Your Majesty", they searched for Kumarajiva's biography, the scriptures he translated, and the history of the Sixteen Kingdoms that I wrote about. So many people read those boring Buddhist scriptures and history books because they fell in love with this novel.
So I thought, why not write a historical prose that is easier to read and more popular. This article is planned to be written in three parts:
1. The place where Kumarajiva walked
2. People who were contemporaries of Kumarajiva
3. Kumarajiva and the development of Chinese Buddhism
This article is not a novel, but a historical essay, for friends who like "Let Me Live Up to the Tathagata, Live Up to Your Majesty". I hope I can combine a boring piece of history and a profound Buddhist scripture with the places he has traveled and explain it to everyone in a simple and easy-to-understand way. Make a cup of tea in the afternoon, read slowly, slow down your impatience, and walk through the mental journey of Kumarajiva with Xiaochun...
This article is also available on Xiaochun's blog. It's too complicated to put pictures on Jinjiang. You can go to my blog to see the corresponding photos. Xiaochun's travel and novel blog
