佛國記 Foguoji (Liu-Song) 法顯 Faxian 大唐西域記 Datang xiyuji (Tang) 玄奘 Xuanzang — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.56.57.202 (talkcontribs) 17:18, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sri Lanka/Ceylon

[edit]

Perhaps the name Sri Lanka should be used instead of Ceylon. The name "Ceylon" was a European name first used much later than Faxian's time. The name Lanka has been used since ancient times. -Tropicalsundae (talk) 04:41, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Paraphrasing a major chunk of quoted text

[edit]

Wonder if the excerpt within section "Legge's biographical notes on Faxian" should be paraphrased and changed to non-quoted text since almost the whole of the section appears as quoted text, spanning several paragraphs. Rasnaboy (talk) 11:44, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
