	The Self-Immolation of Thich Quang Duc
		This article was concerned with examining the medieval Chinese Buddhist precedents for Quang Duc's death, a death that quickly came to be interpreted in the media as an instance of self-immolation, or selfsacrifice, to protest religious persecution of the Buddhists in South Vietnam by the politically and militarily powerful Vietnamese Roman Catholics.
		Quang Duc is hardly a man acting in a complex sociopolitical world, in which intentions, implications, and interpretations often fly past each other.
		That the death of Quang Duc had a powerful influence on the events of 1963 in South Vietnam is not in need of debate.

	Self Immolation
		Thich Nhat Hanh goes on to explaing why Thich Quang Duc’s self-immolation was not a suicide, which is contrary to Buddhist teachings:
		The often-occluded relations among power, imperial politics, and the specific portrayals of religious issues is perhaps no more apparent than in the case of the interpretations American media and intellectuals gave to the much-publicized actions of several Vietnamese Buddhists who, beginning in mid-June of 1963, died by publicly setting themselves on fire.
		In this spirit, besides constructing the Quang Duc Monastery, (a Vietnamese Buddhist and cultural centre in the City of Moreland, Melbourne Australia), our Monastery establish the www.quangduc.com website in May 1999, the aim being to assist everyone to have an easily accessible means to study Buddhism.

	Self-Immolation of Thich Quang Duc
		Born in 1897, Thich Quang Duc was raised in a Buddhist monastic community.
		Thich Quang Duc tried to alleviate these policies by pleading with Diem to grant Buddhism the same rights as Catholicism, stop the unnecessary arrests of Buddhists, allow the Buddhists monks and nuns the right to practice and spread the religion, and punish those responsible for the deaths of the people in the Buddhist community.
		Thich Quang Duc was a bodhisattva or "an enlightened being," which meant one on the path to awakening who vows to forego complete enlightenment until he or she helps all other beings attain enlightenment.

		Thich Quang-Duc proceeded to walk to the center of the intersection and assume the meditative lotus position.
		As Thich gives himself to the consuming flames, the gas container lies only a few feet to his left showing how planned this act actually was.

	The Unforgettable Fire
		We here in the West don't warm up too quickly to foreign-sounding names, and Thich Quang Duc's name is about as foreign and discordant as any name can get; however, his carefully staged suicide was a media coup which definitely had a resonating influence on future political events in his country and around the world.
		Thich Quang-Duc was perhaps singularly responsible for turning many American television viewers against their own government's self-serving involvement in the Vietnam War.
		You see, Quang Duc was no ordinary monk; in 1953, he was appointed Head of the Rituals Committee of the United Vietnamese Buddhist Congregation, a position that he held until the time of his self-immolation.

		Thich Quang Duc, an elderly monk, was helped from an automobile to a square cushion placed for him in the middle of the circle of marchers.
		The suicide of Thich Quang Duc was captured in an award-winning series of photographs by Malcolm Browne, one of several Western reporters that had been "alerted that something dramatic was about to happen" (Nolting, 1988, p.
