quangduc.com just a picture ....but also used as an album cover seen by 10's of millions of kids today around the world. do you think that monk is forgotten ? Men burn up in Wars ...they always have. But men die for principals and to draw attention to injustice by Holy Suicide . Jesus the Rabbai going into Jerusalem to challenge the Temple authorities , and then kicking the money-lender's tables over sealed his fate with both Romans and Jews as much as he had poured gasoline on himself and lit a match . It was automatic he would be found and killed , if it did not happen right there and then. more on the subject of Holy Suicide : findarticles.com In Hindu and Buddhist traditions, holy self-immolation (voluntary death by fire) is an ancient rite involved in transmigration into a new body. In Buddhism, promoting rebirth as a bodhisattva (a more selfless teacher) and/or as a step into the Buddhist Pure Land can occur by asceticism and "abandoning the body." These devotional and deeply moral holy suicides are done in calm, with others praying quietly in attendance. Self-immolation shocks Westerners, who no longer believe in reincarnation by a passage through fire and who, from this Asian point of view, confuse immortal self with bodily flesh. Self-immolation is an ancient tradition of spiritual warriors drawing attention to cruelty: soul fire fighting both firearms and the "bezerker" tradition of warrior ruthlessly killing in boiling fury. Alexander the Great's historians tell of the Indian ascetic Kalanos ascending into a burning pyre in front of Alexander and his Greek army. In 1963, in a busy Saigon street, a monk immolated himself to draw attention to South Vietnamese President Diem's anti-Buddhist policies. Five more monks and a nun had repeated the rite by 1965.
