Wagner & Buddhism
Richard Wagner read the "Sinology" chapter and used Schopenhauer's long footnote (on p. 361) to locate books that were suitable for auto–didactically learning about Buddhism. This had a strong influence on his final opera Parsifal.Lestrade (talk) 03:42, 16 October 2008 (UTC)Lestrade

The Quotable Schop
In the "Sinology" chapter, p. 370, we also find one of his most noted quotes: For there are three well-known modes of repelling the attack of new thoughts: firstly, by ignoring them, secondly by denying them, and lastly by asserting that they are not new, but were known long before.Lestrade (talk) 17:47, 17 October 2008 (UTC)Lestrade
