Re: The Burning Monk Photograph (June 1963)

How much would it suck if...

He's burning away thinking "I am moments away from merging with the higher conciousness. In moments I will achieve Nirvana and be freed from this earthly body"

At which point he dies... and wakes up, in spirit form, standing in front of a strange new bizarre gigantic horned & armored god sitting on a titanic throne



And the god bellows "You did not worship me, the one true god, the punishment for this is Eternal Torture!"

Monk: "w--wait no.. but.. Buddha.. Buddha taught that--

The demon god yanks on a chain from behind his massive throne and out comes a grovelling buddha in chains

Buddha: yes m'lord, what does m'lord desire?

Demon god: take this mortal to the torture pits immediately

Buddha: yes m'lord

Monk: awww fuck! I knew I should've gotten drunk, done drugs, and had anal sex while I still had the chance...
perfect to get ilidan in this xD it a nice pic of him also i guess the monk wasn't prepared

Re: The Burning Monk Photograph (June 1963)

This dude Malachi Ritscher self-immolated in November of '06 in Chicago only 10 minutes from my condo, he got no recognition for it. Probably not the best way to protest...

Very famous photograph, and I can see why.
I think it's also the cover of a Nirvana CD. (I might have got the band wrong though)
