Journey to the East: The Bloom of Buddhism in China is a three-part series that examines the historical development of Buddhism in China. Using Bodhisattva Xuanzang’s extraordinary efforts as a backdrop, this program explains what the Buddha really taught and what Buddhism really is. 2,500 years ago in ancient India, Buddha Shakyamuni predicted the spread of his teaching in a country in the East. This country was called Cīnasthāna in Sanskrit, later translated as China. In one of the oft-quoted accounts of the Buddha, in front of a congregation of disciples, he plucked a lotus flower and none but the venerable Kasyapa understood his wordless transmission of the unexcelled secret teaching of enlightenment. That was where and when the transmission of Chan began. Kasyapa was regarded as the first patriarch of the Chan lineage. Bodhidharma, the 28th patriarch of this lineage, brought Buddhism to China, where it slowly blossomed. Buddhism reached its peak of prominence in Chinese soil during the Tang Dynasty. One of the most illustrious Buddhist personalities of this time was Bodhisattva Xuanzang, who took an arduous pilgrimage to ancient India and defeated 500 non-Buddhist philosophers in a Dharma debate held at the grand capital of Kanyākubja (Kanauji) in the kingdom of Harsha. Upon his return to China, Xuanzang brought back with him a great number of Sanskrit scriptures, and translated them with the assistance of imperial patronage, leaving China with a complete set of teachings regarding the way to attain Buddhahood. He also propagated the Consciousness-Only doctrine and established the doctrinal authority of the Ultimate Truth of Mahāyana Buddhism. All his efforts served to underpin the foundation of Chinese Chan Buddhism, pushing Mahāyāna Buddhism to a most impressive boon in the Middle Kingdom. Interwoven with this engaging narrative regarding the historical development of Buddhism in China are discussions about the Buddhist doctrine of Eight Consciousnesses, the profound teaching that that sets Buddhism apart from all non-Buddhist philosophies.
