Wagner, Richard
Legendary and historical figures
This legendary German composer discovered Buddhism through the writings of Schopenhauer. When he lived in Zurich, Wagner (1813–1883) read much on the subject of Buddhism, and even composed an opera based on the Buddha’s life story (Buddha legends). ‘Die Sieger’ (The Victors) remained unfinished, however.
