Hyech'o

Hyech'o (Korean: 혜초; Hanja: 慧超; 704–787) was a Silla Buddhist monk and traveller active during Korea's Three Kingdoms period. He is primarily remembered for his account of his travels in medieval India, the Wang Ocheonchukguk Jeon.

In the 2017 work Hyecho's Journey: The World of Buddhism, with support from other (art) historians, scholar Donald S. Lopez Jr. uses his story to introduce the range of Buddhist traditions of the period.
