A Record of the Buddhist Religion as Practised in India and the Malay Archipelago A.D. 671-695 is a historical book written by the Chinese Buddhist monk I-Tsing. The book is a detailed account of his travels and experiences during his pilgrimage to India and the Malay Archipelago in the 7th century. I-Tsing's journey was motivated by his desire to study the teachings of Buddhism at their source and to collect and translate Buddhist scriptures. The book provides a comprehensive description of the religious practices, customs, and traditions of the people he encountered during his travels. It also includes detailed accounts of the various Buddhist monasteries and universities he visited, as well as the notable scholars and teachers he met along the way. The book is divided into three parts. The first part covers I-Tsing's journey from China to India, his arrival in Nalanda, and his stay at the famous Buddhist university there. The second part describes his travels in India, including his visits to various sacred sites and his encounters with different Buddhist sects. The third part covers his journey to the Malay Archipelago, where he continued his studies and collected more Buddhist scriptures. Overall, A Record of the Buddhist Religion as Practised in India and the Malay Archipelago A.D. 671-695 is an important historical document that provides valuable insights into the history and practice of Buddhism in Asia during the 7th century.
