Epitaph
This short chapter discusses the last days of the anti-colonial Irish Buddhist monk U Dhammaloka, following his reported death in Australia. It discusses sightings in Singapore, the Federated Malay States (Malaysia), and Siam (Thailand), as well as reports of time spent in Cambodia. The last recorded sightings are in Singapore in late 1913, including diary entries from the Sinhalese Buddhist activist Anagarika Dharmapala. It is not known what happened next, and surprising given his celebrity that the facts were not recorded. Did he perhaps die far from media attention following the outbreak of war, or change his identity in response to renewed police pressure?
