Summary:
The film tells the legendary story of Xuanzang, an eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty who went to Tianzhu to learn Buddhist scriptures for 17 years despite difficulties and obstacles. In the Tang Dynasty, the young master Xuanzang (played by Huang Xiaoming) risked his life to sneak out of the country in order to seek the true meaning of Buddhism. He encountered difficulties and obstacles along the way, whether they be natural or man-made while also winning over the suffering of the people. Besieged by officers and soldiers, betrayed by his disciples, buried in the sea of sand, cut off from water and food, Master Xuanzang devoted himself to seeking the Dharma, and finally arrived in India. Carrying forward good thoughts and meditating on Buddhism in India, when he return home from the debate at the Uncovered Assembly, he was already an old man over fifty years old.
