Howitzer Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I think the most famous case of this in recent times was that of Thích Quảng Đức who even had kennendy exclaim about it. The photo taker won a prize of taking a picture of him burning. How is self immolation viewed in thailand? Is it practiced in thai buddhism? How is Thích Quảng Đức viewed by them?

DogNo1 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Yeah. Madame Nhu referred to a string of self-immolations around that time as "Barbecued Monks." The Nhu's sure had a mandarin-like take on the common people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
