Im curious about how other people see something like this, for me im kinda complacent I find both respect and admiration for this guy for standing up (in this case sittting) for what he believes in and is willing to burn himself to death without making a sound. However I also feel that sometimes that this is completely foolish that you would waste your life to argue for something that you cant be sure exists in the after life but maybe im just not as dedicated as this man

>>19529675
He is doing this for a reason

well yeah clearly but what cause would you be willing to burn yourself alive for?...

FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME

Something spooks me about fire.

Well. Why does our skin burn?....and turn into ashes?.... Is the fire trying to bring him down???

I realized that fire is a he'll portal.
Your run on fire in extrodinary unimaginable pain...then you die, can't handle fire because of pain. it is something strange.

I have a new question for the thread.
What would you be willing to set yourself on fire for?

>>19529700

I think it's a really bizarre concept - how the human bean has evolved self-awareness to the point that it can trump one's innate, omnipresent instinct for self awareness. To be able to make the conscientious decision to lay down your life to make a point, I think, is a very interesting aspect of human evolution

I feel nothing in particular.

Liberation

>>19530372
Monk standing for solidarity sets himself on fire in front of his town. As for why, the Vatican was trying to make Buddhism illegal. So this monk priest immolated himself without a word until his death as a martyr for Buddha.

>>19530413
That's pretty metal.

>>19529675
Nothing.

It is just a person on fire in the street.

>>19529716
>Why does our skin burn.
Because anything burns.
In this instance it is because he doused himself in gasoline.

>>19530413

The Vatican was trying to make Buddhism illegal? How long ago. I can't even google this.

A martyr for Buddha? Buddha is a term for anyone who has succeeded at Nibbana. There have been many Buddhas. I've only read a bit of the Dhammapada, but I don't think burning yourself is something one would do if they were following a Bhudda's teachings.

If anything they would have went just shrugged and said, "you're going to make my state of mind illegal? Good luck with that. Have a good day."

>>19530439
And yet, they didn't just shrug. Matter of fact, a couple other monks set themselves on fire afterwards too. Also, try not looking verbatim. If a push is made for flying Vatican flags as opposed to Buddhist ones, who do you really think is behind it?

>>19529675
I feel odd. I see people or spirits or something in the flames.

>>19529794
Yeah..because the monk who's burning himself isn't doing so in protest in the 1960's due to a certain conflict.

Look at the sadness on the faces of the monks in the background

I feel ashamed afterward because in all sincerity my naturel thoughts are

Nothing, weird that he seems at peace.

>>19529675
It makes me jealous of how good at meditating he is, I wish I could meditate to a deep enough state that the setting myself on fire wouldnt break my posture.

Makes me wonder if the amount of negativity and betrayal felt could conjure a hatred vast enough to kill all of them dead within time.

He did it as a protest against the South Vietnamese government's persecution of the Buddhist temples. They had converted to Xianity to curry the favor of Western governments to obtain their aid against the commie north. He wasn't protesting "the war", per se, as is commonly believed.

>>19529675

Proof of the power of the mind and meditation. No way he could just sit there unmoving, not uttering a sound. Very powerful.

warm

I feel like that dude's on fire.

I can sense both chaos and serenity. As a piece of art, this photo is absurd...the man burning alive, more calm and collected than the people gawking in the background. It makes me think of destruction being a form of creation...the act of his suicide becoming a powerful image to captivate us. He's been burning for decades and still we stare.

Which is also what he died for.

>>19529675

I like his faces side profile. The way his face has been burned and kind of smoothed down. I like how his nose is just a bump, kind of elegant looking.

Also the shape of the fire is nice, good photo

>>19539288
Burning your self is not going to accomplish this goal because people rarely keep to their honor and keep their promise the best solution is to stay alive and protect them because it is the only sure way to know. Better to go out fighting than to gamble with people thought process.

>>19529675

Honestly I'd say something like peace, but I already know this is from protests during Vietnam so all I can think of is communism.
