His journey helped to establish a deeper understanding of Buddhist philosophy in China, and he is credited with translating important Buddhist scriptures, which contributed to the spread of Buddhism in East Asia. Yi Jing's work laid the foundation for the integration of Buddhist thought into Chinese culture.
