How did Tang Priest finally die? What is the record?

Tang Priest died of overwork by translating scriptures. According to historical records, after Tang Yan returned to Chang 'an, he first wrote The Tale of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, and then compiled 1335 volumes of Buddhist scriptures. Tang Yan spent 19 years in this boring compiling life. In 664 AD, he passed away peacefully after translating the last volume of Buddhist scriptures, at the age of 62.

Tang Priest went west alone and studied Buddhism at Nalanduo Temple in India for five years. Here, Master Jiexian devotes himself to teaching Buddhist scriptures such as All Shes, Great Bodhisattva, Yin Ming and Manifesto. After traveling around India, I returned to the Tang Dynasty, with a total trip to Vandory. /kloc-38 out of 0/00 countries? , brought back 520 clips and 657 volumes of Buddhist scriptures and laws.

His book "The Tale of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" made the Tang people see the world further, and he also compiled such famous books as the Maharaja Sutra and the Great Bodhisattva Tibetan Sutra, which made outstanding contributions to the cultural exchanges in the world at that time. It was Tang Priest who translated Buddhist scriptures day and night, and he was exhausted physically and mentally. One day, when he dreamed that the stupa collapsed, he predicted that his life was coming to an end. He worked harder to translate Buddhist scriptures and eventually ran out of oil in the Buddhist career he pursued all his life.

The real Tang Priest is not the fragile and immortal Tang Priest in Four Great Classical Novels The Journey to the West. In fact, the real Tang Priest is particularly tough. The journey to the West depends entirely on his own courage and perseverance, and he has not received the support of Li Shimin, not to mention the story of becoming sworn brothers with the emperor. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, in order to deal with the threat from the Turks, he implemented a border ban policy and was not allowed to enter the customs without permission.

The overall environment is difficult to leave the country, and it is even more difficult after leaving the country. It can be said that Tang Yan's westward journey is completely a refugee route. First of all, outside the Yumenguan Gate in ancient times, it was a desert, with irregular day and night and wild animals running wild. If you have professional field survival equipment now, it is difficult to ensure safe passage. In addition, some western countries at that time did not submit to the Tang Dynasty, and even had a little hostility towards it. Going to such a country is tantamount to sheep entering the wolf's den.

Tang Priest, a master who gave his life for Buddhism, pursued Buddhism to the extreme and deserves our respect.
