Monks retrace historic journey of Xuanzang
|
GUANGZHOU: As part of the celebrations for the Year of China-
India Friendship, two Buddhist monks from the Chinese mainland and
Taiwan Mingxian and Huizai started a journey to India yesterday to
follow the footsteps of Xuanzang, a famous Buddhist predecessor.
A grand ceremony was held yesterday to see off the monks from
Guangzhou to Xi'an, which is the starting point of their journey.
Over the next four months they will follow in the footsteps of
Xuanzang, a Buddhist pilgrim who went to India some 1,300 years ago
to obtain Buddhist scriptures and study. He returned to China 17
years later.
