    As an Indian we are only taught about Hiuen Tsang as a Chinese traveller who visited India but we never knew how much sacrifices he made to reach India and that he was a Buddhist monk who spread Buddhism in China via the texts. Great man, Salute to him. He has written 'Si-Yu-Ki' i.e Buddhist records of the western world.

Brahmins here in India are trying to deny existence of Buddhism but the whole Hindu religion is a mockery of Buddhism. They are trying to overtake whole India.

      What about the slavery aspect mentioned in the movie, because of him touching a Brahmin girl. Did XuanZang mention it in his books. Slavery wasn't practised much in India, though caste system & untouchability was there. But owning humans I haven't read about it. I think Chanakya mentions it, but it don't know of any mentions of Slavery being practised in the times of HarshaVardana.

      But this movie is misguiding about ancient India . They are portraying wrong image about the Golden age of Harsha's dynasty . It was way more prosperous than what is shown in movie. There were many scholars passed out from Nalanda that time not just him . This is not just only a Chinese movie about Huen Tsang , there is another one in which they have tried to brain wash people about Tsang's journey to the west and India.

      The idea that animals are somehow kinder and better then humans is CROCK. This is a story. Animals will cull their young in a heartbeat. If they think there is insufficient food, or they think a cub is unhealthy, or they want the female to go into heat, they will murder a litter with no remorse. Many species propagate by rape. They fight for territory same as we do. They exile members of their packs, and chase off the elderly when it is time for them to die. They are very, very practical. Of course, altruism is not unknown in pack species like wolves, rats, lions, and hyena. But it is rare.

    1400 years ago, this man (age 25 ) went through more than 100 countries and traveled 5 years(A.D.627-632) and finally got to Indan.
    He spent around 2 years in Indian learning the language and scripts, then begun his journey back to China.
    When Sanzang got back to China, it was already 18 years later (A.D.645).
    Before this, there were only two solid pillar stones of Chinese culture, Taoism and Confucianism.

The unfortunate thing is that most of the Budhnists in India were killed by the Muslims rulers and other factors. The fortunate thing is Budhisim flourished in east Asia. Budisim teaching does not conflict with other religion, it is most compassionate teaching in the human history.

      Buddhism is great for a personality change and to deal with the current life. Unfortunately, it offers nothing for eternity. However, Christianity helps for both now and later and lasts forever. Buddhism is beautiful. It definitely is a self teaching method for obedience and self control. But even Buddhists know that there's an afterlife and the only way to access it, and latch on to it in a favorable manner is to connect with the spirituality of the creator. God. I hope you can learn and gain wisdom beyond your expectations and satisfy the thirst of your soul with the water that is everlasting. Sometimes God speaks to us and we ignore him, and his voice gets softer not louder. The mess in the world gets louder and louder. Bless you bro!

      When it comes down to it, the Truth is....that suffering IS a choice. We choose to suffer. Why? Because we have mistaken ideas that suffering is a natural part of life and it is not. It is a perspective borne out of ignorance and disbelief that with all things there is no thing that is not possible with God. A lack of faith, a belief in illusion, causes suffering. God is Perfection, only Perfection. If we keep our Vision upon that Fiat, and keep whispering to God within our Heart that we will only accept Perfection....it will come.

    An utterly sublime production… deeply moving piece of filmography. Putting aside his incredible pilgrimage and devotion in Buddhism and his significant contributions to both nations in Buddhism, I was moved too by his sense of loss of his mother and her love, his need to more fully and deeply connect in his world, his love of his Country, his willingness and trust that even though there would be hardships to endure he had to let go of fear…people he came across could sense his absolute sincerity and they naturally gravitated towards him.

What an amazing legacy he left in India, where after thousands of years of his journey HiuenTsang is still part of the Indian school curriculum. And then the great legacy he left in China for thousands of years. This movies definitely shows Xuan Zang's faith in action and what it looks like, how the spirit can be much stronger than the physical body, sheer determination, his love for his beliefs, and his outstanding integrity. He's also a great ambassador for his country while in India and for his faith. Thank you for sharing this incredible movie. From Aotearoa NZ 💙💙💙💙💙

    This film is so visually stunning!
    The cinematography is worthy or perhaps more so than anything
    Hollywood in USA could achieve
    The colours are breathtaking along with geographical landscapes, costumes, music sends shivers down ones spine
    You laugh with our questing monk, urge him onwards, tell him to calm down & have faith & trust in his God.
    You will not be able to help yourself & not cry when he does, in his moments of fear & doubt
    Or the futility & hopelessness
    You forget time, youre so engrossed in this cornucopia of visual & spiritual excellance
    The end festivities were marvellous & sumptuous.
    There is something for everyone to gain in this film, a personal message for you, i know it did for me & strongly know everyone will benefit in countless ways.
    Its a film to watch when words arent enough,
    When you cant find an answer
    When you need comfort & well being
    When you cant go on anymore but after this film you wonder why you though it was a hard journey, so you have been given the right
    Sustainance for your personal journey & you are
    invigorated
    Its a film you can watch many times & pick up some gems of wisdom
    I cant praise this wonderful film enough, my words are poor quality to describe the gift you get from watching this
    I even think when the monk is exploring the Ellora Caves hes thinking of the meanings of Buddha & he says the concepts are " Beyond Words "
    So very true
    Its the journey that counts not really the destination, that's just sparkly topping ...
