Thích Quảng Đức

Born in Hội Khánh in 1897, Thích Quảng Đức was a Vietnamese Buddhist monk. Whether or not you know his name, you probably know what he did for religious freedom in Saigon, Vietnam, on the 11th June 1963. Below are three links to a pictures that made me shocked, sad and made me question my own courage when I looked at them properly for the first time.

I don't want to say too much about this, I'll leave you to draw own conclusions from it. This link takes you to his Wikipedia page. I know that's a bit lazy, but you'll get more detailed information if you want it from there.

Thanks for reading, comment below or email me with suggestions or your own thoughts.
