8 reviews for A Record of the Buddhist Religion

  1. Somingam Kumrah

    A must-read for anyone studying Southeast Asian Buddhism. The historical context is richly presented. Some sections were repetitive, but the insights are invaluable.

  2. Tushar Agarwal

    Offers unparalleled insights into the spread of Buddhism! A tad lengthy, but packed with knowledge about rituals and beliefs. Perfect for dedicated Buddhist history lovers.

  3. Nancy Goel

    A fascinating glimpse into a bygone era. I-Tsing’s observations are incredibly detailed, though the writing style can be a bit dense at times. Overall, a worthwhile read for serious scholars.

  4. Aashish Kumar

    This book opened my eyes to the complexity of Buddhism in Srivijaya. I found it somewhat dry, but still rewarding. It’s a challenging but important historical text.

  5. Lakshay Khare

    I learned so much about ancient Buddhist cultures. The book provided a unique perspective. Some passages were difficult to follow. Despite that, I found it valuable.

  6. Aniket Singh

    A detailed record of Buddhist practices. It is extremely informative. Some may find it slow-paced, but the meticulousness is admirable. It’s a great historical document.

  7. Siddhant Gautam

    I appreciated the cultural details in this book. It painted a vivid picture of daily life. However, I wish there was more analysis included. A good primary source.

  8. Dhruv Mittal

    An interesting, if somewhat academic, exploration of I-Tsing’s travels. The insights are valuable, but the writing isn’t always engaging. Worth reading for serious students.
