MARKGRAF, Walter (Samaṇero Dhammānusari). 1865 — Flanders 1915. Swiss Bauddha. In 1907 went to Burma. Ordained samaṇera 1908 in Rangoon by Nyāyatiloka, but returned soon to lay life and returned to Europe. From 1909 ran his own publishing house in Breslau, publishing Buddhist books by himself and by other writers (but also other books). Original collaboration with Seidenstücker ended soon because of doctrinal differences (W.M. wanted strict monastic Theravāda, while S. preferred Mahāyāna as more open to laymen). Died in WW I.
