White Horse Pagoda, Dunhuang

The White Horse Pagoda, in Dunhuang, was built to commemorate 'Tianliu', the white horse of the Buddhist monk Kumārajīva, which carried Buddhist scriptures all the way from Kucha to Dunhuang in China c. 384 CE. Kumārajīva, a revered monk and translator, was born in the oasis city-state of Kucha, the son of a Kuchean princess and a Kashmiri Brahmin. The horse found passages through high mountains, across raging rivers, and water when needed.
