The Collection of Biographies of Master Xuanzang the Tripitaka and His Disciples was compiled by the Japanese Buddhist scholars Sadaei Saeki and Tatsue Nakano, completed during the Meiji to Showa periods in Japan. This work systematically collects biographies, writings, and master-disciple lineages of the eminent Tang dynasty monk Xuanzang the Tripitaka and his disciples. Its content encompasses historical materials compilation, commentary analysis, and research on Buddhist thought. The collection thoroughly traces the transmission lineage of Yogācāra (Consciousness-Only) thought in East Asia, holding significant scholarly value for the study of Chinese Buddhist history, Xuanzang's teachings, and Sino-Japanese Buddhist cultural exchange. It is regarded as one of the authoritative texts in the field of Buddhist studies.
