Tang Seng is one of the main characters in the famous Chinese classical novel “Journey to the West”, the master of Monkey King and others. He went to the “Western Heaven”, which is today’s India, to learn Buddhist scriptures, with his apprentices Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Monk Sha. They went through hardships and passed through the “Nine-Nine-Nine-Eight-Eleven Difficulties”, and finally arrived in the Western Heaven and obtained the true scriptures. Tang Seng in the story is kind-hearted, but a little confused. This is a fictional myth. In fact, in history, there really was such a Tang Seng who went to “Western Heaven” to learn Buddhist scriptures. His dharma name is Xuanzang.
