« Spread the Spark »
Sunday, October 10, 2010 In 1963 journalist Malcolm Brown witnessed a Vietnamese Mahayana Buddhist monk, Thich Quang Duc perform an act of self-immolation. The man sat down, poured gasoline over himself and lit himself up. What's amazing - to me - is not the cause, not even the decision, but what happened after... Nothing happened: the man sat, in a lotus position, while burning alive. The skin of his face coagulating in flames... Dying... Burning alive...
Wear to spread the spark.
