Re: The Burning Monk Photograph (June 1963)
it always fills me with wonder,how this monks can endure so much pain reminds me of "bulletproof monk" tibet is definatly on my list of places i need to visit before i die from wiki: "The body was re-cremated during the funeral, but the heart of Thích Quảng Đức remained intact and did not burn.[21][25] It was considered to be holy and placed in a glass chalice at Xa Loi Pagoda.[25] The intact heart relic[21] is regarded as a symbol of compassion and Thích Quảng Đức has subsequently been revered by Vietnamese Buddhists as a bodhisattva (Bồ Tát) and accordingly is often referred to in Vietnamese as Bồ Tát Thích Quảng Đức." heres a picture of the heart: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Th..._duc_heart.gif |
