Something's Burning | |
Michael_ User ID: 1805432  Denmark11/15/2012 04:50 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Im not nervous Quoting: wildhoney I just bury my face in my hands when I see something like that..its so awful on so many levels  I know, the picture is not exactly happy, but the monk made a sacrifice on behalf of his religion. from wiki The cover features a photo of Thích Qung c, a Vietnamese Buddhist monk, burning himself to death in Saigon in 1963. The monk was protesting President Ngô ình Dim's administration for oppressing the Buddhist religion. The photograph drew international attention and persuaded U.S. President John F. Kennedy to withdraw support for Ngô ình Dim's government. to change within we have to be aware that we even need the change, some might need an eye opener like the honorable monk Last Edited by Michael_ on 11/15/2012 04:52 AM |

"Came an answer from the kingdom, With our brothers we will share All the secrets of our mountain, All the riches buried there. And they killed the mountain-people, So they won their just Reward. Now they stood beside the treasure, On the mountain, dark and red. Turned the stone and looked beneath it Peace on Earth...was all it said..."  :) Last Edited by Seer777 on 11/15/2012 04:57 AM "Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body." ~Seneca |

Fire purifies. Quoting: izaak2  Im sure he knew what he would risk by doing it, but he believed that ideals are worth dying for. what the monk did is perhaps a stronger way to fight for your religion and ideals than the way other religions fight for their "right" Last Edited by Michael_ on 11/15/2012 05:02 AM |

Peter was crucified..on Vatican Hill "Thou shalt not kill" does not apply to murder of one's own kind only, but to all living beings; and this Commandment was inscribed in the human breast long before it was proclaimed from Sinai. ~Leo Tolstoy You have heard that it was said, "You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy." But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? ..Immanuel ,The Christ (Sermon Of The Mount) “WHAT YOU DO TO OTHERS YOU DO TO YOURSELF FOR THAT IS THE LAW..AND THE PROFIT" ..) Preach the Gospel at all times..and when necessary use words.. St.Francis Of Assisi..
