摘要
从1999年到2000年,本书的作者孙淑芸踏着唐僧当年前往印度取经的足迹,越过戈壁沙漠、沿着丝绸之路、追溯历史的痕迹,并将沿途所见所闻详细记录,写成了此书。
Ten Thousand Miles without a Cloud is Shuyun's beautifully written account of her personal discovery of Buddhism through a journey to retrace the steps of one of the most popular figures in Chinese history-the monk Xuanzang who traveled across Asia to bring true Buddhism back to China. Shuyun's work is at once a fascinating history of Xuanzang, Buddhism, the Silk Road, and the civilizations of China and India in the first millennium, and a touching remembrance of her devout grandmother.
