It was a centre of learning from the fifth century CE to c. 1200 CE

At its peak, the school attracted scholars and students from near and far with some travelling all the way from Tibet, China, Korea, and Central Asia.

Xuanzang in Nalanda

In 8th century Dunhuang cave mural depicts Xuanzang returning from India.

A page from Xuanzang's Great Tang Records on the Western Regions or "Si-Yu-Ki".

Xuanzang (also known as Hiuen Tsang) travelled around India between the years of
630 and 643 CE,[8]:110 and visited Nalanda first in 637 and then again in 642,
spending a total of around two years at the monastery

Library

Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva. Ashtasahasrika Prajnyaparamita Sutra manuscript from Nalanda's Pala period.

It is evident from the large numbers of texts that Yijing carried back with him after his 10-year residence at Nalanda, that the Mahavihara must have featured a well-equipped library.

Curriculum

Tibetan tradition holds that there were "four doxographies" (Tibetan: grub-mtha’) which were taught at Nalanda

Sarvastivada Vaibhashika

Sarvastivada Sautrantika

Madhyamaka, the Mahayana philosophy of Nagarjuna

Chittamatra, the Mahayana philosophy of Asanga and Vasubandhu
