Summary: "Four Pilgrims" by William Boulting is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the journeys and experiences of four significant figures from different cultures and time periods who undertook pilgrimages in pursuit of spiritual enlightenment and knowledge. The first detailed narrative follows Hiuen-Tsiang, a Chinese monk embarking on a perilous journey to India in the 7th century to seek Buddhist texts and wisdom. The opening of the work introduces the character of Hiuen-Tsiang, who grew up during a tumultuous period in China marked by conflict and chaos. Driven by a relentless desire to obtain authentic Buddhist scriptures, he defies the orders of his monastic authority and joins a group of traders on a treacherous journey westward. Overcoming numerous obstacles, including traversing the forbidding desert and overcoming challenges from local rulers, Hiuen-Tsiang’s steadfast devotion to his spiritual quest and his remarkable encounters along the way set the stage for a rich exploration of cultural and religious intersections in the ancient world.
