Xuanzang

Xuanzang (602–664) travelled through Central Asia to India to resolve questions about Buddhist doctrine. At Nālandā he studied Yogācāra under Śīlabhadra, returning to Chang'an in 645 with Sanskrit manuscripts. With imperial support, he led translation teams at monasteries including Daci'en and translated major works on consciousness, Abhidharma and the perfection of wisdom. His Great Tang Record of the Western Regions, compiled with Bianji, describes the lands he visited. His disciple Kuiji developed the commentarial tradition later known as Faxiang.
