But he is famous not for his devotion to the Buddha Dharma and his unfathomable practice of it, but for his famous classic, Journey to the West. However, in Journey to the West, Xuanzang is portrayed as a soft monk who is always worried, homesick, assertive, afraid and so on. People praised the Monkey King, who was making trouble in Heaven and at the same time derogated and ridiculed the fat white monk Tang Monk. However, little is known about the real Master Xuanzang. The documentary "The Road of Xuanzang" tries its best to restore a real Master Xuanzang to the world. In order to seek the righteous Mahayana Dharma, Xuanzang secretly crossed Yumen Pass in spite of the ban of the imperial court and crossed the snowy mountains and deserts. After 19 years, he has travelled to 110 countries. He gained great honour and admiration in a foreign land, but he did not forget his original intention and returned to his homeland with classics of the Buddha and his disciples, including the Mahaprajna Sutra and the Yogi Dharma. A generation of eminent monks spread the history of the Dhamma, so far it is moved to tears. Written by douban.com See less
