- Master Xuan Zang is arguably the most famous monk in China today. But he is famous not for his devotion to the Buddha Dharma and his unfathomable practice of it, but for his famous classic, Journey to the West. However, in Journey to the West, Xuanzang is portrayed as a soft monk who is always worried, homesick, assertive, afraid and so on. People praised the Monkey King, who was making trouble in Heaven and at the same time derogated and ridiculed the fat white monk Tang Monk. However, little is known about the real Master Xuanzang. The documentary "The Road of Xuanzang" tries its best to restore a real Master Xuanzang to the world. In order to seek the righteous Mahayana Dharma, Xuanzang secretly crossed Yumen Pass in spite of the ban of the imperial court and crossed the snowy mountains and deserts. After 19 years, he has travelled to 110 countries. He gained great honour and admiration in a foreign land, but he did not forget his original intention and returned to his homeland with classics of the Buddha and his disciples, including the Mahaprajna Sutra and the Yogi Dharma. A generation of eminent monks spread the history of the Dhamma, so far it is moved to tears.

- Who was the remarkable Hildegard of Bingen? A Benedictine nun, she founded two women's monastic communities, wrote visionary treatises and multiple theological works, designed illustrations, interpreted the Bible, composed liturgical songs, and developed works on natural science and medicine. Educated in the monastery and instructed through visions, Hildegard reached a level of literary and artistic production that was achieved by few men in the Middle Ages. She was named a Doctor of the Church in 2012. Hildegard was the only medieval woman who systematically interpreted the Gospels; that is, she explained the multiple meanings of biblical texts methodically and theologically. She achieved a rich, creative, and coherent presentation of Christian theology, from the origins of the world and humankind to the afterlife. She affirmed repeatedly that divine visions taught her the deepest meaning of the Scriptures, Viriditas, or greenness, a unifying capacity of nature, lies at the core of Hildegard's natural science, medicine, cosmology, and theology. The life-giving power of the Holy Spirit offers hope, refreshment, and faith in God's creation, even when human perversion destroys it. For Hildegard, the lives and spirits of all creatures are interdependent-a crucial lesson for a world suffering from a pandemic and the destruction of natural life. Her belief in the interconnectedness of all living beings influences the international movements for integrative medicine and for environmental protection. Hildegard's influence on healing, creation theology, and women's leadership continues today, as evidenced by the spiritual pilgrimage to her homeland, so beautifully presented in the videos that follow.

- The Irish Pilgrimage to Lourdes has been described as "the act of a nation." Beyond all question it was the act of a nation for practically every man, woman and child in Ireland interested himself or herself in the project from the moment it was first discussed a year ago. The Most Rev. Dr. McHugh, Bishop of Derry, whose portrait appears in the film, was its moving spirit, and the undertaking, colossal to such a country as Ireland, was carried through, by dint of hard work, much personal economy, and a superabundance of faith, to a complete and happy conclusion. It should be borne in mind that a pilgrimage from Ireland to Lourdes was a far more difficult undertaking than a pilgrimage from any other part of the continent. The business of transporting the sick from Ireland to England, followed by a long and tedious journey to London, the second sea trip across the channel, and, finally, the weary train journey from the very north of France to the Pyrenees must have taxed the endurance of the sick to the uttermost. The safe transport of over 3.000 pilgrims under these conditions was in itself a veritable triumph of organization. Some of the most affecting scenes shown in the film are those at Victoria Station and at Folkstone. The pilgrims had left Dublin the night before, and are breaking their journey in London for a hurried breakfast, which is snatched on the station itself. London policemen are carrying litters, and cheerful porters, having turned nurses for the time being, are tenderly rendering invaluable assistance. The station is shrouded in the peculiar gloom of a London morning, and yet the blend of Celtic cheerfulness and Saxon readiness for emergencies, renders the atmosphere far from oppressive. At Folkstone porters and policemen have given place to brown-faced sailors, careful and anxious bearers of the sick and crippled. We will pass over the rest of the journey until we reach Lourdes, full of charm and scented with the sweet air of the Pyrenees. Here we are mere units in the crowds of pilgrims all hurrying to the great objectives, the Basilica and the Grotto. A night's rest, and then commences the real business of the Pilgrimage, which lasts three days. There is a first day's procession to the great white Basilica, the unveiling of a stately Celtic Cross by Cardinal Logue, and visits to the Grotto, where Bernadette first saw the sacred apparitions. A visit has also to be paid to the little gabled house where she lived. Most important of all, however, is the Procession of the Blessed Sacrament. This solemn and awe-inspiring scene, when a wonderful vista is given to the Basilica, and of the long, serried lines of the pilgrims, before whom are laid the sufferers in their litters, is an unforgettable sight. Nothing like this has ever been brought to the eyes of those who know Lourdes only as a name, and it should be remembered that this procession was never taken before His Eminence Cardinal Logue gave express permission to the General Film Agency, Ltd., to take it. Possibly the pictures which will arouse the greatest public interest are those which appear at the end of the film and show the miraculous cures. The names are given. Grace Maloney, the Killaloe girl, who was cured and her bent leg straightened, so that she now walks like any other fine-limbed Irish Coleen. Patrick Casey, who left home absolutely helpless, and who left his crutches at Lourdes, and also Miss B.J. McDonogh, Cabragh, County Sligo, who suffered from a diseased bone in the left foot.
