The Eurasian Journey of Faxian’s Record of Buddhist Kingdoms
Sonam Kachru
Matthew W. King
Matthew W. King offers a groundbreaking account of the literary, social, and political history of the circulation, translation, and interpretation of Faxian’s The Record of Buddhist Kingdoms. He reads its many journeys at multiple levels, contrasting the textual and interpretative traditions of the European academy and the Inner Asian monastery.
In his The Twenty Verses, the Buddhist philosopher Vasubandhu invites readers to explore experiences in dreams and to inhabit the experiences of nonhuman beings—animals, hungry ghosts, and beings in hell. Sonam Kachru provides a deep engagement with Vasubandhu’s account of mind in a global philosophical perspective.
