His patriotic spirit and great contribution to the promotion of Buddhism are regarded as "the backbone of the Chinese nation" and the messenger of world peace. With the spirit of no self, no sentient beings and no immortality, he traveled west to learn from the scriptures, which embodied the true deeds of Mahayana Buddhism and Bodhisattva and crossing all sentient beings. He has traveled all over India, affecting as far away as Japan, South Korea and even the whole world. His thoughts and spirit are now the common wealth of people in China, Asia and even the world.
