This is the story of a Chinese
monk named Fa Hien, who undertook a painfully long and arduous journey
to India 1,600 years ago in pursuit of knowledge and to seek the true teachings
of Buddha. It is the story of a man of immense courage, sincerity and faith.After
coming to India in 399 AD, Fa Hien toured the country extensively and recorded
his observations. His accounts mention the Indian socio-economic and political
aspects only marginally, but are objective and authentic. Fa Hien’s records,
therefore, form an important source of Indian history during the fifth
century.
