EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Faxian's incredible journey through time. In this image, we see Faxian, a Chinese Buddhist monk from the 5th century AD, standing amidst the ruins of Ashoka's palace in Pataliputra, India. The remnants of this once majestic palace serve as a poignant reminder of the rich history that unfolded within its walls. Faxian embarked on an arduous pilgrimage by foot all the way from China to India, driven by his unwavering devotion to Buddhism. His purpose was clear - to acquire sacred Buddhist texts and deepen his understanding of this ancient religion. As he traversed across Asia, Faxian visited numerous holy sites along his path, immersing himself in their spiritual significance. The photograph beautifully showcases Faxian's solitary presence against the backdrop of crumbling architecture. It evokes a sense of awe and reverence for both the physical surroundings and Faxian's remarkable dedication to his faith. Allan Stewart skillfully captured this historical moment with great attention to detail in his painting which has been reproduced here as a print from Hutchinsons History of Nations published in 1915. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand Faxian's extraordinary journey and gain insight into the profound impact that religion can have on individuals willing to go above and beyond for their beliefs.
