Fascinating Journey of a Buddhist Monk Scholar
We hired an E-Rickshaw @ Rs. 100 from Nalanda Excavated place for visit to Xuan Zang Memorial hall, black Buddha and Kundalpur Jain temple. Xuan Zang memorial hall is dedicated to a Buddhist monk scholar who travelled from China to India in the Seventh Century. The memorial hall is built in line with Chinees architecture and situated at a calm place. The entire premises including memorial hall, garden, pathways are neatly maintained. There is an entry fee of Rs. 10, when we visited on a Saturday late morning in Mar’22, there was limited crowd, The ambience of the memorial hall was peaceful, the memorial hall housed a statue of Xuan Zang and his journey to India, which was nicely depicted on the wall. A nice place to spend some quality time and learn about the journey of a great monk scholar.

A great testimony to the strength of human spirit
Xuan Zang, a Chinese Buddhist, travelled to Nalanda University and various other great centers of learning in India from Xian in China and returned to Xian in 645 AD after traveling a distance of 50,000 km in 17 years. This statue is at his memorial in Nalanda. Nalanda university was discovered based on his chronicles. The memorial has many maps tracing the route Mr Zhang travelled from Xian along the edge of gobi desert on the ancient silk route to Ferghana valley, Smarkhand and through the mountain passes of Hindu Khush mountains he entered the river valleys of northern India from where he travelled to central, western and southern parts of India.
