🧘‍♂️The Immolation Of Thich Quang Duc ~ Saigon 1963 (The Burning Monk)🔥

In June 2013, Devamitra toured several Triratna centres, including the LBC, giving talks in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the immolation in Saigon of Thich Quang Duc – better known as ‘the burning monk’. On hearing this story, Alex Estrella felt strongly that it needed to be told on film. As the first step of a much bigger project, Alex recently filmed Devamitra in the LBC shrine room reflecting on Quang Duc’s life. The graphics were done by Aryajit.
