Xuanzang, also known as Hiuen Tsang, was a renowned 7th-century Chinese Buddhist monk and scholar who traveled to India during Emperor Harshavardhana’s reign. He studied for two years at Nalanda under the guidance of Guru Shilabhadra, translating Sanskrit texts into Chinese and carrying Buddhist knowledge back to China.
Among his treasured collections was a replica of the Buddha’s footprints from Pataliputra. Xuanzang himself commissioned its carving and inscriptions while translating the Buddhist Sutras at Yihua Palace in China. This priceless relic, discovered in 1999, confirms the belief that the Buddha once left his footprints in Magadha.
The inscribed stone measures 66 cm by 74 cm, with the Buddha’s footprint carved 50 cm long and 20 cm wide an object of deep reverence.
Today, this Budhapada is preserved at the Xuanzang Memorial Hall in Nalanda, Bihar. Gifted by China to India, it is a sacred attraction for Buddhist pilgrims and an enduring symbol of cultural ties between the two nations.
Thank you for sharing this insightful story about Xuanzang and the Buddha’s footprints! It’s amazing how his journey bridged cultures, bringing priceless Buddhist relics and knowledge from India to China and back. The replica of the Buddha’s footprints at Nalanda symbolizes not only spiritual heritage but also the deep historical ties between the two civilizations. @rizbab28 ji.
