The first is that the internal strength of Buddhism has been exhausted after nearly 100 years of being excluded by the "civilization task" of the French colonialists from the role of cultural critic of the nation. The second is to accompany the nation in the anti-foreign invasion, so he has sacrificed nearly exhausted intellectual capital, life and material facilities in all three regions of the country. The third is that after the country passed the equinox in 1954, while Buddhism in the North was almost completely paralyzed as a result of the war, in the South, in an attempt to revive Buddhism, Buddhism had to face for nearly a decade with a policy of systematic suppression and extermination of the Ngo Dinh Diem government. botatquangduc Ngo Dinh Diem's ​​government, with its ambitious "brotherly and fatherly" archbishop, was in fact just a tool to inherit and implement persistently and uncompromisingly the invasion strategy. culture of foreign theocracy, for nearly 600 years around the world.

Bodhisattva Quang Duc sets himself on fire Bodhisattva Thich Quang Duc's real name is Lam Van Tuat (林文戌),[1] also known as Nguyen Van Khiet (阮文㓗) was born on the Rat hour, the full moon day of the 9th month of the Year of the Dog (October 29, 1898) in Khanh Hoa. Facing the scene where the totalitarian government Ngo Dinh Diem caused many social injustices, created religious inequality, persecuted Buddhists, banned the flying of the world Buddhist flag on Buddha's birthday, Bodhisattva Thich Quang Duc develop great compassion and burn himself for the sake of the Dharma at 11 a.m. on April 20 (Nan Ngo) (June 11, 1963) at the intersection of Phan Dinh Phung and Le Van Duyet.[2] unnamed (3) A Protestant in the United States, Pastor Donald Harrington gave a very moving account of the nature and meaning of Bodhisattva Quang Duc's self-immolation, like a flame illuminating the conscience of the totalitarian Ngo Dinh government. Diem and the neo-colonial war advocates in South Vietnam: “More than two weeks ago, on 11.6.63 Most Venerable Thich Quang Duc was meditating on a hot asphalt road. In his hand the Venerable Master held a string of 54 beads and began to recite Buddha's name. The monk's robe was soaked with gasoline. All the monks and nuns stepped back, respectfully, in awe. The pedestrians, realizing that something extraordinary was about to happen, stopped and waited. With a quiet and calm expression on his face, Venerable Quang Duc recited loudly: "Namo Amitabha Buddha". Then he lit a match and a blazing fire filled his body, but he never groaned or moved. He sat upright for ten minutes, his body engulfed in red flames, and when the fire died down, he lay motionless... One might wonder what horrors and resentments could have made a person of "Love" of "Peace", determined to burn himself?... If complete despair and extreme boredom, Even though the world has led people to commit suicide, the highest ideals and the most passionate love of life have sometimes produced the most courageous martyrs in history... Most Venerable Quang Duc sacrificed his life by self-immolation to awaken President Diem's ​​conscience and bring attention to the whole world.. He endured the pain of the red sparks burning his flesh but did not utter a single cry. He sent some of his words to President Diem, and so far Diem has not listened or paid attention. But nonetheless, that voice is still the voice of love, the voice that in its heart contains the liberation of South Vietnam. He left a humiliating shadow on the splendor that Pope John brought to the Church of God. He did and he must do, for every American to find his soul and let the US government know that, unless the Saigon government immediately enforces the right to religious equality for Buddhists and freedom for People of Vietnam, all aid from the United States must stop immediately... That flame can be a ray of hope for those who have long been oppressed by foreigners or by their own countrymen…”[3] Although not accepted by the Vietnamese Sangha, Bodhisattva Quang Duc silently pursued the great vow of self-immolation in the spirit of selflessness and selflessness.

And to prove our position, we voluntarily burn this body if the Government of the Republic of Vietnam does not satisfy the aspirations stated in the Declaration, which is an earnest reflection of the wishes of all Vietnamese Buddhists. Male. - Vietnamese Buddhism is immortal! - The Buddhist flag cannot be taken down. And please accept to pass on to all believers my last wish: Let us Buddhists together be self-conscious, voluntary, and persevering with the mission of maintaining the Dharma and protecting the Buddhist flag. .”[4] Although not accepted by the Vietnam Sangha,[5] Bodhisattva Quang Duc still silently pursued the great vow of self-immolation in the spirit of selflessness and altruism. In the last days of his life at An Quang Temple, the Bodhisattva meditated, read and recited the Lotus Sutra, and reviewed the example of the Bodhisattva Medicine King who used fire light to burn his body to make offerings to the Dharma. With the fire of compassion, the compassionate heart of Bodhisattva Thich Quang Duc became the first and only "heart relic" of its kind, immortal with time, a symbol of love conquering brutality, Wisdom triumphs over deception.

For the homeland, the nation and the Dharma, Bodhisattva Quang Duc wishes: "Buddha's grace to bless Vietnamese Buddhism to be eternal; wish the Buddha's grace to bless the Venerable Monks and Nuns, and Vietnamese Buddhists to avoid terrorism, persecution, and imprisonment of the wicked; and finally, pray for a peaceful country and a peaceful nation." Usually "fire" in Buddhism represents "craving" as in Dhammapada verse 146: "How can you laugh, how happy you can / When the fire of greed (pajjalite)[7] burns the world / Darkness covers the world the night sky / Why don't you try to find a bright light?"[8] The red fire from the body of Bodhisattva Thich Quang Duc for 7 minutes became the "fire of compassion" as the poet Vu Hoang Chuong[9] described it. immortal poem with the same name.
