Thích Qu?ng ??c
Hòa th??ng Thích Qu?ng Ð?c (help·info)[a] (IPA: [t???t kw???? ???k]; born Lâm V?n T?c in 1897 – died June 11, 1963) was a Vietnamese Mahayana Buddhist monk who burned himself to death at a busy Saigon road intersection on June 11, 1963. Thích Qu?ng ??c was protesting the persecution of Buddhists by South Vietnam’s Ngô ?ình Di?m administration.
Some of you might recognise the burning man, Thích Qu?ng ??c, some of you might not. Some part of the ’some of you’ who does recognise the photograph of Thích Qu?ng ??c might not know why you recognise it. My guess is that you recognise the photograph because it was used on the cover of Rage Against the Machine self titled album released 1993.
