The Irish Buddhist
The Forgotten Monk who Faced Down the British Empire
The Irish Buddhist is the biography of a truly extraordinary Irish emigrant, sailor and migrant worker who became a Buddhist monk and anti-colonial activist in early twentieth-century Asia. Born Laurence Carroll in 1856, U Dhammaloka defied the British Empire and missionary Christianity in defense of local culture. He had five different aliases, was tried for sedition, put under police and intelligence surveillance, faked his own death, and ultimatelydisappeared. His dramatic life rewrites the previously accepted story of how Buddhism became a modern global religion.
