Do academic articles have to be difficult to understand? Look at Mr. Ji Xianlin's academic articles, and you will find that academic papers can be so interesting. This book focuses on the origin, development and spread of Buddhism in India, how it was introduced into China, its influence on China, its further development in China and its return to India, and arranges Mr. Ji Xianlin's articles on Buddhism into fifteen topics. Readers can clearly read Mr. Ji's important expositions in The History of Buddhism and Sino-Indian Relations: the historical origin of primitive Buddhism, on Sakyamuni, on the language of primitive Buddhism, a distorted and forgotten "route struggle" in the initial period of Buddhism-the issue of Buddhas, pagodas and Buddhas, and then on "pagodas and Buddhas", Faxian, and the six-ancestor altar sutra in the history of Buddhism in China.

Reading this book, we can not only get the basic knowledge of Buddhism and Sino-Indian relations, but also learn about Sakyamuni's becoming a Buddha, his struggle with his cousin Brahma, and the stories of Xuanzang, Emperor Taizong, Dharma and Liang Wudi.

Mr. Ji Xianlin's writing style is approachable, and his arguments are logical and incisive. He studied Buddhism from the perspective of linguistics and revealed the cultural exchange between China and India from the spread and development of Buddhism. His academic thought fully embodies the characteristics that China and even the eastern cultures are good at integration and connection. I hope this book can meet the needs of ordinary readers who are eager for the research results of academic masters.
