@ That seems contradictory. But so are humans I guess. These are all words. But they have an invisible “soul” we call meaning. It’s not empirical. It’s meaning. Like you have trillions of different cells in your body. Billions of cells in your brain. What “you” are even as just a “human” is the miraculous invisible unity between those cells. A conscious being is the meaning. To me, that is what a soul is. The invisible unity of meaning in all things. The unity of nature and the universe is like this. The continuity of natural law, like a personality.
Hi, I’m Michael Wei and I’m from china born and raised in New York, United States of America. I’m a doctor. I would love to get to know you more I hope you don’t mind my friend
@@michaelwei8564Hi Dr. Michael, I'm an Indian student and I would also love to get in touch with you and learn more about you. I can share my email id if you want.
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.
Sorry but hiuen Tsang did not introduce buddhism to China.Buddhism was flourishing in China six hundred years before Hiuen iTsang .The person who introduced buddhism to China was Ashtanga Kashyap in 49 A.d. who is also reputed to contruct the first temple of Buddhism in China called Wild Goose Temple
@Janitor Queen hi Janitor queen well firstly that is an very interesting name.ayv I know where are you from .well I am not a big follower of the Buddha of the 21 century uncle Google. Bit I can direct youb some books India in Chinese Imagination and Legend of Shaolin Monastery by Mehr Shaher a scholar of Ancient Chinese Buddhism
Omg... Such a beautiful movie.. kudos to actor portrayed Xuan.. i m so glad hearing a Chinese speaking hindi and Indian actors to be a part of Chinese movie.. i really hope India and China to be friends forever. No war no hatred. Peace only. I hope people will understand this
"Where is India?" "In my heart". The level of respect for 🇮🇳 from outside during those heyday of Buddhism in India. India was known to other buddhist nations as the 'Land of Arhats'. Sadly, everything is just a history now. May Buddhism flourish again in its rightful land of origin.🙏
Nowadays in india Buddhism is lost... Because of a religion named brahman.... They destroyed indian culture and added there fake God and goddess.... Brahmans captured Buddha's Temple's and established their God's in the Buddhist temples..... Now we are waiting for someone who will do something on this things... Namo buddhaya🙏🙏🙏

This is one of the best movies I have ever watched. There is no violence. It is totally intellectual and shows dedication, belief, purpose. There is no room in his life for power and money. It really made me think.
I am an Indian and my native place is Nalanda. My ancestral place is at a walking distance from the University site. I must say thst none of the Bollywood movies have shown this part of our history and such sanskrit. Kudos to you guys! 🎉🎉
I am an American Buddhist student my teachers have all been mahayana but, ever did the caution not to disrespect or disregard the hinyana teachings. This was an amazing , beautiful journey -seemingly random chance of the 'algorithm'. What a joy!
I’m spanish and love Indian and Chinese culture. We are all one. We can bring this knowledge and peace to our minds, hearts, and everything. We are a powerful source of energy. One day we will be breathing peace and our race will protect all kinds of living. -By nobody.
I consider, it is a blessing, in my life that i got chance to see this movie on you tube. Both India & China are neighbors & should settle borders peacefully and live for ever peacefully. Hope Buddhism flourish in both lands. People like XUAN ZANG( = Huyan song in india ) change the world.
I only knew that Hiuen Tsang was a traveller to India and had taken holy texts to China. But after watching this movie I come to know that how much sacrifices he had done and had faced many difficulties throughout his journey. The presentation was excellent in the movie!!
Beautiful , love from India. Yes, Hiuen Tsang is part of Indian school syllabus in 7-8th grade history. Great to get some glimpses of ancient India and China. Love and respect!
@@Austenite762 No, like in the movie Ali, Will Smith is Muhammad Ali.. Here Xuan Xhang is Hiuen Tsang (an ancient Chinese traveller who visited India..) 👽
Thank you China for such a beautiful film. I absolutely loved it. Have read about Xuansang as a part of history syllabus in school but to see a movie depicting his eventful and inspirational life was an experience in itself. The present relationship between the two countries is far from what it happened to be or what it should have been. The two great civilizations would have benefitted a lot from one another ;had the evil forces of destiny didn't intervene ! I have visited ruins of Nalanda University, Mahabodhi temple and the banyan tree where Lord Buddha got enlightenment personally and have great reverence for Him 🙏🌹❤️
Buddha is in our hearts not the ruins. Two hundred years of the rise of the Western civilization is a short time for the ancient countries like India and China. We have a long way ahead of us just like Xuanzang and his journey.
Im not buddhist, i was born Christian but i really admire and highly respect buddhist belief, practices. Making peace in the world is all one task. May we all enlighten by our faith as we shine for others.

@@Shahanshah.Shahin Then we get the best of both worlds as Bollywood has made some incredible movies like Padmaavat and Bajirao Mastani to name just two out of so many ! I love Indian scale and storytelling, such an amazing people.
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.
Me too. I was looking the whitr snake and sudenly show this a made play and here I am. This movie its gorgeous¡¡¡ so so beatiful and each frame very priceless¡¡¡ SUBLIME❤
Tang Dynasty was the greatest era in Chinese history. It was a society open to variety of philosophies, religions and technology. Tight ass Confucius was to blamed that later dominated the main stream and demonized all religions and competing schools. Tang culture highly influenced east Asia like Japan and Korea and Silk Road connected Europe and Persian empire brought in muslin and Arab mathematics.
@@ALWH1314 I am also drawn to Buddhism, as it is more so a Broad Universal Philosophy rather than a religion. Other religions only provide myths and folktales, with bare surface explanation of the Physical and the Metaphysical. Buddhism to me represents the Selfless and relentless pursuit of Universal Truths.
Am really touched and grateful for Lord Buddha, and Venerable Xuan Zang for letting so many people learn the Dharma, and rejoice in the Dharma. May everyone be at peace and blessed with happiness :')
I am an Indian ,I feel this movie is so inspiring life of Xuan zang ❤️, I read a book about Xuan zang, then I watch this movie 🎥. It's great 👍👍👍👍 Happy to see the movie 🎥🎥
Beautifully made and compelling to watch. I have a great respect for Buddhism which cuts through my old cynical heart. It is hard to believe that over 430 people disliked this. Well done to the Chinese film industry.
This is an amazingly beautiful movie. I had read Xuan Zang's travels in English translation, and yet the visual narration makes the account so much more vivid. The difficulties he suffered during his long travel to India are shown in an inspirational way. I particularly love the spoken Sanskrit depicted during his stay at Nalanda. Congratulations to the actors and the movie makers.
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.

Every Indian knows about him since childhood as a curriculum in History and respects him as his writings helped us to know about ancient Indian history and literature which were lost here. All respect for the great person.
Love from India! A subscriber referred to this movie and I can’t believe I haven’t watched it. Every Indian should watch this beautiful movie to learn the historical significance of these events.
I was a tourist at the Ajanta Caves in Maharashtra, India, on the day they were filming this movie and got to watch them for a bit. This main Actor who played Xuanzang is very famous and well known in India and people were lined up to say hello to him after the filming. It was all surreal to see this ....Just like stepping back in time
I hope this film won an award. It is absolutely beautiful. The relationship between the monk and the horse made me cry. Bravo to the actors, director. writers, music and cinematography and that beautiful horse. Totally heartwarming/
I was mesmerised by the movie... Its cinematograohy, narratives, location and the journey of XuanZang, who is termed as Hiuen Tsang in Indian HIstory, is one of the most well crafted movies I ever watched... Whether it has got Oscar or not doesn't matter... It is excellent.. We Indians have forgotten our aancient culture but not the Chinese... The way they preserve and encourage their traditions and history is somthing we must learn.. I am also a follower of Buddhism.. Needless to say how much this influenced me.. I love the Chinese culture, history and literature.. Namoh Amitava❤
In our school life in India we all read about XUAN ZANG. There also was an amazing picture of him carrying a big basket with a overhead pole. It was funny to our young minds as we never saw a monk carrying anything other than a small bag/ stick. Now we know the reason. Thank you for making such a wonderful movie. It showed that there always will be turbulence, always will be conflict, but we have to choose our path. The selfless path will always lead to a better world. My sincere thanks to the cinematographer, music directors. Thank you for uploading this movie.
We felt very proud after watching this movie on xuang zang travelled all the way from china who visited india also my home land at ajantha ellora in Maharashtra and I am being a Buddhist from india is an imotional moment for us in my family. Namo Buddhai.
Now this is a random movie i watch that enlighten me in a very touching way, gives me a whole new perspective of life. If you are not ready to become good, dont watch this movie. Trust me.
I am very touched by this huge soul. I live in a country full of hate and killing: Mexico. This story responded to many of my questions about our fate. I wish I could learn more about Buddhism. Thanks for sharing this EXCELLENT MOVIE. Best Regards! :)
I have heard of the violence in Mexico! Like this movie there are many of the Buddha here on youtube, I enjoy them a lot. I hope that mexico will grow away from violence: your search for Buddhism could be one step for Mexico as well. Good luck, and have many joyful Hours in company with the Buddha. Greetings from an inuit (eskimo) from Greenland
What's sad is that I never once met a Mexican person that had an answer for the problems of Mexico much less understood fully how it got where it is today. However, I've met some very decent people in Mexico.
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!
It is beautiful to see the conversations this movie has inspired between people in different countries and perspectives! I also live in Mexico and feel what you are saying. There is deep wisdom in Buddhism that can be accessed in practice and help with the suffering in the world. I live in a remote area and now with internet can find abundant teachings and also sangha support (zoom). It's great!
@@johnknoefler right now I have a friend visiting from Colombia and I am originally American living 30 yrs in Mexico. We are together learning a bit more about the complex karmic entanglement of our three countries that has led us to our current situation of so much suffering. It is always many factors. I live in the middle of what is considered the heart of the worst of it, yet I feel surrounded by kind loving souls. They are always here. Even the ones who get wrapped up in the current of the violence and blinded by those things, have family and neighbors who still love them and hope for them to find a way out of it. May we all be free from these torments and be at peace
Buddha is the eternal truth🙏 The world stands on the lost civilization and unparalled wisdom and knowledge by him. Close to 9 millions manuscripts were burnt in Nalanda. Chinese scholars like Faxian and Xuan Zang and Al Biruni have contributed as a major source of proof in establishing Buddhism. 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. We are forever grateful for chinese contributions. There is no other religion having such detailed history, archaeological proofs, DNA evidence and inscriptions of Buddha. Namo Buddhay🙏
Hello from Ajanta & Ellora🙋🏻♀️ Thank you Chinese friends for making such a beautiful movie on historical relationship! We Indians are really thankful 🙏🙏
i'm practicing Theravada Buddhism. This is masterpiece, we can learn from Xuan Zang journey. With good determination there always a way. Thank you for making this movie, May all beings happy, Sadhu...Sadhu...Sadhu...🙏
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. After this Buddism become the Third pillar stone of Chinese pillar stone, combine, those three cultures shipped Chinese history. Today, everyone in China knows his name, not because of his accomplishment, but because of the novel "the journey to the west", and in the novel, he is the master of Monkey King.
Actually Buddhism was already with ancient China. Xuan Zang was not the first pilgrim to ancient India. It was Fa Xian during the Gupta empire (200+AD) , 400 years earlier.
There is so much to like about his story. His dedication and his desire to learn stand out. I also really like how he was welcomed to Nalanda and how he was welcomed back in Chang 'an despite not having been allowed to set off for the west in the first place. I only learned about Xuan Zang recently, from the wonderful Empire podcast.
Very heart warming movie, a moment when a horse seats down and takes his master to water source. I am Hindu by birth, but I loved Buddha everyday. It is Dhamma, which still resonates. Long live Three Jewels and four noble truths. Hsuan Tsang inspires every one to not to leave your spiritual journey but be strong and have a strong faith to carry forward on the way shown by Masters. Love and Peace. Om.
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 a treasure of a beautifully crafted movie to have randomly across - my heart feels soothed
I am a Christian and I found this movie inspiring and moving. If a horse can have a kind and compassionate heart what excuses do we as humans have? We ought to love and treat each other better.
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.
I studied about Xuan Zang when I was in 12th standard and I really liked how it was described in textbook match with the movie. It’s full of emotion and really Buddhism teach us how be a human being. Best dialogue from the movie is ‘Ask why are you suffering’ The ultimate way of releasing suffering is to knowing why I am suffering.
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.
For most Indians Xuanzang is a hero, a legend, larger than life. Mishi Saran's book Chasing the Monks Shadow is a worthy retracing of his journey. There is also a similar book by a Chinese lady author. Kudos to Xuanzhang's legacy! What a scholar, what dedication, what perseverance!!
Such a film! The sceneries and phases in this film translated so well. These magnificent landscapes surely lead us to our own inner journey. Kudos to Chinese and India filmmakers, happy to have stumbled upon this.
What a devotional masterpiece. I would have watched it just to hear the monks chanting Om Mani Padme Hum, or the Mandarin version of the Heart Sutra. Even the precision of the difference between Hīnayāna and Mahāyāna - Hīnayāna seeing the universe as material and perception as illusory and mutable, while Mahāyāna seeing “both” as illusory and mutable is very succinct and skilful. The cinematography and content are awe-inspiring!
Mahayana is concept of Dualism that is Davit philosophy both of them are same as Sutras are commentary from Upnishads . There is same sect of Davit philosophy as of like mahayan whose founder was Ramanujacharya. Buddhism and Hinduism are same
@@kartikbhatia7823 Buddhism and Hinduism are same just like the north pole and south pole are. Take a walk, Sanghi. Your imaginary WhatsApp stories won't work here.
This movie will not disappoint it's a must watch true story. Xuan Zang is a great man despite all odds he was determined to go to India. 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 💙💙💙💙💙
Love from India 🇮🇳. Such wonderful movie. We only know about him from from few pages of history book. We are traditionally peace loving countries , I don't know why do we have tensions these days ? In my prayer I want this has to be an end. Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu☸ 🙏
the tensions at the current Sino-Indian border is a legacy of English colonizers who nibbled on Chinese lands. It is a pity that India is not honest in denouncing English colonialism to become independent but wanting to keep the plots of Chinese land taken by English colonizers.

I am an Indian, lived in China for about more than half decade. Visited many Buddhist temples and monasteries. Monks there live simple and peaceful life, close to nature, mostly in forests, hill tops. Had a great experience in China. Namo. Amituofo.
Traditionally, there are three core elements of Chinese culture: 儒(Confucianism), 释(Buddhism), and 道(Taoism). And one of these three pillars which supports the Chinese spiritual structure for 2000 years - Buddhism, is a gift from India.
@@milkwolfcheng359 Hi ! It is very kind on u part to share this very useful information with our many non-chinese friends. And it would be a polite courtesy to our Buddhist compatriots if we mention Buddhism first because our Venerable Confucius came much later in our life. Regards.

In our Buddhism-Mythology, there is a Deity named Sun Wu Kong, also known as the Chinese Monkey king, with same bodily & physical resemblance with Lord Hanuman. He accompanied & protected this monk, Xuan Zang during its voyage to the East i.e India to retrieve the Sutras of Lord Buddha. Are u of Buddhist confession ?

I found that I come back to watch this movie again from time to time over the past few years. What a great historical movie that showed the tenacity and courage of Xuan Zang to visit India to collect the Buddhist scripts. I can’t wait to visit both China and India, retracing Xuan Zang’s spiritual path.
So much heart touchable movie..when he saw clouds in the sky then tears came out from my eyes........Nice sound, nice Mantras, nice song, nice voice...Nice Actor.....! Every moment I feel divine and peace in this movie...I wish Chinese and Indian culture will live in this World for forever....! 🙏🙏🙏 now I want to visit China and there culture want to see...!

I suggest you go to visit China. Communication results in understanding and friendship. We Chinese appreciate Buddhism derived from ancient India. It deeply affected our culture.
I m living here near Ajanta caves..caves are 2 hours from my city. When I watch Buddha n think about him then realise China is big country for Buddhism. From 10yrs when we go other city then ajanta caves coming 1st after then my aunt's city come..so much Chinese peoples I saw in my life when we visit caves .🙂🙂i feel somthing connections with them...I love China from was 10yrs...I m watching only Chinese web series becoz it's all r nice..no velgur words or scenes...pure divine series..and mostly using important subject, topics, culture, ancient culture..so I like so much...! I can learn Chinese language and some foods.also we can know about China from Chinese series...🙂..mostly I like Chinese Respectful Kings queen and their old royal rules..😍
A very powerful and thought provoking movie. I have never seen anything like this put on the screen. Watch this, your inner self will thank you. Fantastic, thanks.
Rollie, you wont believe it but a lot of the movies coming from the far east these days have this feel and quality about them, even the fantasy/action movies and the best part is that the movies are not full of nakedness or swearing, movies from the west are all moral corrupting rubbish, I pray that our entertainment in future comes from the kind of people who made this work of art. . . . . Thank you again guys and gals Blessings in abundance :)
Hollywood should learn from this people , they produce one of the most inspiring and beautiful movies in my count . great job and keep making great entertainment stories like this one .
Om Mani Padme Hum! I have no words left after watching this movie, only tears rolling down. My soul indeed has been deeply touched....humbly grateful for our enlightened Gautama Buddha and many masters-ancestors like Xuan Zang whom carried Buddha's teachings and paved the path of Boddhisatva! Movie definitely weaves deep interconnectedness between our cultures and humanity at large......a path to self realization! 📿🙏
Despite its flaws in terms of narrative structure and depth of characterisation, I found this film thoroughly absorbing and fascinating. The cinematography is, like many modern Chinese films (especially of the historical/fantasy variety) simply stunning - nothing from Hollywood even comes close to the visual aesthetics of certain Chinese films today.
awakening... a movie so moving... have this quoted: “…Random encounters and farewells gave joy followed by loneliness. When I said goodbye, I was filled with worry for them… our connection is unbroken”
As an Indian thankfull to all the Chinese travelers Faxian,Xuanxang and I tsing for there valuable contributions to our country only because of these travellers today we know more about our history otherwise Islamic invaders and barbarians had destroyed everything in our country
This film is beautiful and timeless, exactly as important today as 1500 years ago or 2500 years ago. Finding both strength within and peace within is no small undertaking. In today's world, the advice to kings should be taken to heart. Wish the film would just go on and on and on.
This type of non violence based movie should win accolates in the International level but unfortunately many people including the juries love violence based movies🙁. For those who love non violence, this is the best movie for us. Many thanks for giving us to opportunity to enjoy this movie ( to the person who has uploaded this movie on RUclips).
Honour and appreciation to all Indian Masters and friends who taught us the Buddhist text, and thankful to all ancient Monks who risked their lives to bring the text back to China and translate into Chinese so we can learn Buddhism today.
Not only is this awe inspiring story a gorgeous movie, I'm taken with how many of today's ways are put into context. Honestly, being older and purely western, I thought the dance segments in Bollywood films were a trendy gimmick that took hold. 'Lots of wonderful context for multiple cultures. Thank you for the upload!
This movie had always been on my list to watch and never got to it until today. This is one of two movies that has made me reflect in life. I'm not Buddhist, but I'm catholic and his faith in wanting to know more about it was admiring. Also being from another country and bringing things back to his home country.Even if there were obstacles, threats and dangerous paths. I've always said there is so much more beyond the west we dont know and people should be curious to know.
No word can sufficiently describe the efforts of Xuan Zang, he was great men. I salute him for his passion and attitude for benefit to mankind. A true Jewel for the mankind. Namo Buddha..
What an achievement. This film is truly of work of art in every way imaginable, blending factual acient history, extraordinary human endeavour, superb cinematography, a beautiful soundtrack, and superb acting all rolled into one. A very worthy winner. Congratulations.
The marvelous treatment of the magnificent scenery itself deserves the highest praise. The soundtrack provides a lovely, stirring background to the story, memorably conveyed. But -- lets be honest, shall we? -- the actors are a collection of pieces of wood.
The path to enlightenment was depicted in this great movie..God blessings to all who made this possible ...We are all in this spiritual path and journey..Sai Ram

A conscious being is the meaning. To me, that is what a soul is. The invisible unity of meaning in all things. The unity of nature and the universe is like this. The continuity of natural law, like a personality.

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.
Sorry but hiuen Tsang did not introduce buddhism to China.Buddhism was flourishing in China six hundred years before Hiuen iTsang .The person who introduced buddhism to China was Ashtanga Kashyap in 49 A.d. who is also reputed to contruct the first temple of Buddhism in China called Wild Goose Temple

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.

Tang Dynasty was the greatest era in Chinese history. It was a society open to variety of philosophies, religions and technology.

This is an amazingly beautiful movie. I had read Xuan Zang's travels in English translation, and yet the visual narration makes the account so much more vivid. The difficulties he suffered during his long travel to India are shown in an inspirational way. I particularly love the spoken Sanskrit depicted during his stay at Nalanda. Congratulations to the actors and the movie makers.
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.

I am very touched by this huge soul. I live in a country full of hate and killing: Mexico. This story responded to many of my questions about our fate. I wish I could learn more about Buddhism. Thanks for sharing this EXCELLENT MOVIE. Best Regards! :)
I have heard of the violence in Mexico! Like this movie there are many of the Buddha here on youtube, I enjoy them a lot.
I hope that mexico will grow away from violence: your search for Buddhism could be one step for Mexico as well.
Good luck, and have many joyful Hours in company with the Buddha. Greetings from an inuit (eskimo) from Greenland
What's sad is that I never once met a Mexican person that had an answer for the problems of Mexico much less understood fully how it got where it is today. However, I've met some very decent people in Mexico.
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!
It is beautiful to see the conversations this movie has inspired between people in different countries and perspectives! I also live in Mexico and feel what you are saying. There is deep wisdom in Buddhism that can be accessed in practice and help with the suffering in the world. I live in a remote area and now with internet can find abundant teachings and also sangha support (zoom). It's great!
@@johnknoefler right now I have a friend visiting from Colombia and I am originally American living 30 yrs in Mexico.

I live in the middle of what is considered the heart of the worst of it, yet I feel surrounded by kind loving souls. They are always here. Even the ones who get wrapped up in the current of the violence and blinded by those things, have family and neighbors who still love them and hope for them to find a way out of it. May we all be free from these torments and be at peace

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.
After this Buddism become the Third pillar stone of Chinese pillar stone, combine, those three cultures shipped Chinese history.
Today, everyone in China knows his name, not because of his accomplishment, but because of the novel "the journey to the west", and in the novel, he is the master of Monkey King.

Actually Buddhism was already with ancient China. Xuan Zang was not the first pilgrim to ancient India. It was Fa Xian during the Gupta empire (200+AD) , 400 years earlier.
There is so much to like about his story. His dedication and his desire to learn stand out. I also really like how he was welcomed to Nalanda and how he was welcomed back in Chang 'an despite not having been allowed to set off for the west in the first place. I only learned about Xuan Zang recently, from the wonderful Empire podcast.
Very heart warming movie, a moment when a horse seats down and takes his master to water source. I am Hindu by birth, but I loved Buddha everyday. It is Dhamma, which still resonates. Long live Three Jewels and four noble truths. Hsuan Tsang inspires every one to not to leave your spiritual journey but be strong and have a strong faith to carry forward on the way shown by Masters. Love and Peace. Om.
What an exquisite film! If only compassion ruled the world instead of greed.
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 a treasure of a beautifully crafted movie to have randomly across - my heart feels soothed
Truly a masterpiece
Love from nalanda
Wonderful. Amazing. Excellent movie. Praise the Buddha. From America
I am a Christian and I found this movie inspiring and moving. If a horse can have a kind and compassionate heart what excuses do we as humans have? We ought to love and treat each other better.
And a true story at that, which inspires the 'Journey to the West' classic and Monkey God.
a Christian too, this movie is great couch travel great nature we live and inspiring nonetheless. 'Do not judge, or you too will be judged.'
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.

I studied about Xuan Zang when I was in 12th standard and I really liked how it was described in textbook match with the movie. It’s full of emotion and really Buddhism teach us how be a human being. Best dialogue from the movie is ‘Ask why are you suffering’ The ultimate way of releasing suffering is to knowing why I am suffering.
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.

Such a film! The sceneries and phases in this film translated so well. These magnificent landscapes surely lead us to our own inner journey. Kudos to Chinese and India filmmakers, happy to have stumbled upon this.
What a devotional masterpiece. I would have watched it just to hear the monks chanting Om Mani Padme Hum, or the Mandarin version of the Heart Sutra. Even the precision of the difference between Hīnayāna and Mahāyāna - Hīnayāna seeing the universe as material and perception as illusory and mutable, while Mahāyāna seeing “both” as illusory and mutable is very succinct and skilful. The cinematography and content are awe-inspiring!

This movie will not disappoint it's a must watch true story. Xuan Zang is a great man despite all odds he was determined to go to India. 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 💙💙💙💙💙
Love from India 🇮🇳. Such wonderful movie. We only know about him from from few pages of history book. We are traditionally peace loving countries , I don't know why do we have tensions these days ? In my prayer I want this has to be an end. Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu☸ 🙏
I know why, it's brainless politician, manipulated by rumors & the west.
the tensions at the current Sino-Indian border is a legacy of English colonizers who nibbled on Chinese lands. It is a pity that India is not honest in denouncing English colonialism to become independent but wanting to keep the plots of Chinese land taken by English colonizers.
Wow, one of the best promotional videos for a spiritual life ever. It was like one long guided meditation. Feels like coming home.
only home is one god. And not a thousand.
1:09 The way he bowed, it made me cry...the conversation in Sanskrit, the understanding of Kshana (Time)....
the whole cinematography, editing, acting, and everything was beautiful..so many things made me goosebumps....

Hats off to all the cast of the film, brilliant cinematography .We want more such films based on our ancient and medieval times .
It is wonderful with the dialogues in the original Chinese and Indian languages! Amazing work!
I am an Indian, lived in China for about more than half decade. Visited many Buddhist temples and monasteries. Monks there live simple and peaceful life, close to nature, mostly in forests, hill tops. Had a great experience in China.

Traditionally, there are three core elements of Chinese culture: 儒(Confucianism), 释(Buddhism), and 道(Taoism). And one of these three pillars which supports the Chinese spiritual structure for 2000 years - Buddhism, is a gift from India.
@@milkwolfcheng359 Hi ! It is very kind on u part to share this very useful information with our many non-chinese friends. And it would be a polite courtesy to our Buddhist compatriots if we mention Buddhism first because our Venerable Confucius came much later in our life. Regards.
Hi! Greetings. Just to know; in which part or province u r living? Indian -Hinduism & Buddhism has many similitudes in their teaching & worship. In our Buddhism-Mythology, there is a Deity named Sun Wu Kong, also known as the Chinese Monkey king, with same bodily & physical resemblance with Lord Hanuman. He accompanied & protected this monk, Xuan Zang during its voyage to the East i.e India to retrieve the Sutras of Lord Buddha. Are u of Buddhist confession ? I know there is a good minority of these people in India. Regards.
@@jean-pierrelanhingkwong7852 Hi. I Lived in Jiang Xi province. Came back to India in 2011. Good to know about Sun Wu Kong. I am a Hindu by belief as well as by birth. I believe in Karma Siddhartha. Lord Hanuman is an immortal, and is believed to be living since 8,800+ years. There are many ageless Yogis like him living in Himalayas and in India. Only way to see and experience them is through meditation. We respect all beliefs. Namaste 🙏🏻
Great movie
Always hoping for good relations of India-China. These 2 countries shares history, culture...
"mahayana's love n tolerance can cleanse the world of violence n make it more beautiful place" 🙌🙏🏻
@Bhanu Pratap Singh Democracy is not always the solution, as you can see by the American and European political systems.
@@Kiaorafranz Don't let Democracy this word fool you, What is real Demcray, for me like a dream wish.
Today's CHINA is Communist, - doesn't believe in God. Only the teachings of Mao.
@@wheillebherttjanmontalbeu in China there’s freedom to have any religious belief. Temples, churches ...
Other powers profit from a division between China and India - but they can not stop either from putting it aside. Your words are wise.
I found that I come back to watch this movie again from time to time over the past few years. What a great historical movie that showed the tenacity and courage of Xuan Zang to visit India to collect the Buddhist scripts. I can’t wait to visit both China and India, retracing Xuan Zang’s spiritual path.
So much heart touchable movie..when he saw clouds in the sky then tears came out from my eyes........Nice sound, nice Mantras, nice song, nice voice...Nice Actor.....! Every moment I feel divine and peace in this movie...I wish Chinese and Indian culture will live in this World for forever....! 🙏🙏🙏 now I want to visit China and there culture want to see...! This movie inspiring me to come China
🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏👏👏💥💥🦾
I suggest you go to visit China. Communication results in understanding and friendship. We Chinese appreciate Buddhism derived from ancient India. It deeply affected our culture.
I m living here near Ajanta caves..caves are 2 hours from my city. When I watch Buddha n think about him then realise China is big country for Buddhism. From 10yrs when we go other city then ajanta caves coming 1st after then my aunt's city come..so much Chinese peoples I saw in my life when we visit caves .🙂🙂i feel somthing connections with them...I love China from was 10yrs...I m watching only Chinese web series becoz it's all r nice..no velgur words or scenes...pure divine series..and mostly using important subject, topics, culture, ancient culture..so I like so much...! I can learn Chinese language and some foods.also we can know about China from Chinese series...🙂..mostly I like Chinese Respectful Kings queen and their old royal rules..😍
Hindi me movie milega?
欢迎你❤️👍
A very powerful and thought provoking movie. I have never seen anything like this put on the screen. Watch this, your inner self will thank you. Fantastic, thanks.
Rollie, you wont believe it but a lot of the movies coming from the far east these days have this feel and quality about them, even the fantasy/action movies and the best part is that the movies are not full of nakedness or swearing, movies from the west are all moral corrupting rubbish, I pray that our entertainment in future comes from the kind of people who made this work of art. . . . . Thank you again guys and gals
Blessings in abundance :)
Hollywood should learn from this people , they produce one of the most inspiring and beautiful movies in my count . great job and keep making great entertainment stories like this one .
There are lot of English movies that tell great stories.
@@Gumardee_coins_and_banknotes agreed
Hollywood just nude and sex 😡
Om Mani Padme Hum! I have no words left after watching this movie, only tears rolling down. My soul indeed has been deeply touched....humbly grateful for our enlightened Gautama Buddha and many masters-ancestors like Xuan Zang whom carried Buddha's teachings and paved the path of Boddhisatva! Movie definitely weaves deep interconnectedness between our cultures and humanity at large......a path to self realization! 📿🙏
Despite its flaws in terms of narrative structure and depth of characterisation, I found this film thoroughly absorbing and fascinating. The cinematography is, like many modern Chinese films (especially of the historical/fantasy variety) simply stunning - nothing from Hollywood even comes close to the visual aesthetics of certain Chinese films today.
awakening... a movie so moving... have this quoted:
“…Random encounters and farewells gave joy followed by loneliness.
When I said goodbye, I was filled with worry for them… our connection is unbroken”
how simple acts of kindness can change everything
BLUE DOG you are 💯👍
@@dianaloran8998 👍
As an Indian thankfull to all the Chinese travelers Faxian,Xuanxang and I tsing for there valuable contributions to our country only because of these travellers today we know more about our history otherwise Islamic invaders and barbarians had destroyed everything in our country
Great Movie! It reminds us of Great efforts, struggles and hardships for enlightenment by Buddhist Masters!
This film is beautiful and timeless, exactly as important today as 1500 years ago or 2500 years ago. Finding both strength within and peace within is no small undertaking. In today's world, the advice to kings should be taken to heart. Wish the film would just go on and on and on.
Wonderful movie! What I have learned from this movie, no matter whatever come our way, stay patient n have faith in yourselve.
Hii I'm from India and i thankful to my chainese brother who make this great move. Love from 🇮🇳💞🇨🇳💞
A huge respect to Xuanzang for making this difficult journey to follow his passion. He is immortal
This type of non violence based movie should win accolates in the International level but unfortunately many people including the juries love violence based movies🙁.
For those who love non violence, this is the best movie for us. Many thanks for giving us to opportunity to enjoy this movie ( to the person who has uploaded this movie on RUclips).
We love KUNG FU
I hate to say this but violence is part of human nature sadly. Humans are the most cruel & violent Animal.
Let us not forget that 2 spies were murdered in the beginning...
Honour and appreciation to all Indian Masters and friends who taught us the Buddhist text, and thankful to all ancient Monks who risked their lives to bring the text back to China and translate into Chinese so we can learn Buddhism today.
Beautiful movie, I loved it.
I am buddhism all my life !!! Love this movie and thanks for posting!!!!
Not only is this awe inspiring story a gorgeous movie, I'm taken with how many of today's ways are put into context. Honestly, being older and purely western, I thought the dance segments in Bollywood films were a trendy gimmick that took hold. 'Lots of wonderful context for multiple cultures. Thank you for the upload!
This movie had always been on my list to watch and never got to it until today. This is one of two movies that has made me reflect in life. I'm not Buddhist, but I'm catholic and his faith in wanting to know more about it was admiring. Also being from another country and bringing things back to his home country.Even if there were obstacles, threats and dangerous paths. I've always said there is so much more beyond the west we dont know and people should be curious to know.
No word can sufficiently describe the efforts of Xuan Zang, he was great men. I salute him for his passion and attitude for benefit to mankind. A true Jewel for the mankind. Namo Buddha..
I am not buddhist I am Christian I do enjoy this movie and enjoy every moment of it ✨
Chinese movies are visually speculator! I love the music, costumes and two great cultures. Great movie 10/10.
What an achievement. This film is truly of work of art in every way imaginable, blending factual acient history, extraordinary human endeavour, superb cinematography, a beautiful soundtrack, and superb acting all rolled into one. A very worthy winner. Congratulations.
The marvelous treatment of the magnificent scenery itself deserves the highest praise. The soundtrack provides a lovely, stirring background to the story, memorably conveyed. But -- lets be honest, shall we? -- the actors are a collection of pieces of wood.
Loved the way they portrayed the life of great monk explorer love and peace and equality.
I dont have any words to describe how happy I am to watch this great movie which is as true as rays from sun
I am very impressed after watching this movie... saint has gone through a very tough time but he never stopped dreaming his goals
@Buddhist Network Buddhism also believes in caste hierarchy.
@@sunnyk9704 who tell stupid I think you need to study hard about buddhism
The path to enlightenment was depicted in this great movie..God blessings to all who made this possible ...We are all in this spiritual path and journey..Sai Ram
No killing not even of people of another religion. Love this movie, it opens up for learning more.
Deep respect from a Muslim.
