Is meditation really so powerful? I just read about this guy and wow, not even moved a muscle huh?
>>40993363YesNamo buddha dhamma sangha
>>40993363Fake and gay display to suck in 90s teenagers
>>40993363Wow. Your siddhi is self-immolation. So cool.

>>40993363What a crazy way to die. Didn’t 2 us soldiers do this recently in protest of israel?
>>40995579Just the last 2 years was 1 us soldier Aaron Bushnell (died), Matt Nelson anti war activist (died), Sam Mena journalist survived and an unknown person in Atlanta. All in protest of the genocide in gaza
>>40993363God damn what a way to protest
>>40993363It was the 60s. He was probably on drugs.
>>40995818When I’m on drugs, I don’t want to do shit. Too much work setting yourself on fire when you can just zone out or jack off but maybe you’re right
>>40995818I'd expect this anywhere but /x/He was lucid
>>40993363It's probably a fake. I think so because this picture was used for political agitation immediately. And if it were real, the photographer would be guilty of manslaughter.
Buddhists are supposed to refrain from all activities that harm themselves and suicide is deemed bad karma. To be so caught up in worldly affairs that you torch yourself like a lunatic in some futile protest? Hardly detachment from samsara is it
>>40996327It’s a crazy photo and no that’s not true about the manslaughter you aren’t obligated to help strangers on the street, you’d have to be responsible for lighting the fire to get a manslaughter charge here
>>40996368I agree. I admire their dedication (same with all the anti-Israel self immolation lately) but I do not believe it’s the correct pathLike I understand why people strap bombs and blow up israeli soldiers but violence isn’t the path forward directed inward or outward
>>40996368>>40996389You have to be 18 to post here
>>40996327It’s a crazy photo and no that’s not how manslaughter works, the photographer would have needed to start the fire himself. You aren’t obligated to help strangers on the street especially in a situation like that where you could get burned too.
>>40993363Yes. For example, I'm just a random loser, I am nowhere near their level and not a meditation expert at all, but I can make a pain somewhat disappear when I concentrate on it, I do it every time I epilate my body for example. (and no I am not a tranny)However it's their point of view that I don't understand. I would never set myself on fire as a protest, I would clearly rather set my enemies on fire as an action to make things change. To me, a protest suicide is not only useless but worse, I would free my enemies from my existence, and I would not be there anymore anyway to experience the change if it worked, this just makes no sense.
>>40996327It's a crazy photo, but no that's not how manslaughter works. In order for him to be charged with manslaughter, he would have had to have set the fire himself. You aren't legally expected to help someone in a dangerous situation where you might sustain burns yourself if you tried to do anything,
>>40993363You're going to find some "demon" that will trick you into school shooting
>>40996402>its adult to suicideGood one faggot
>>40993363Fun fact, after he did this several other monks did the same thing elsewhere in Vietnam. However people only ever talk about him. Shows that we only want the original, not the copycats.
>>40996438Sad. But the govt probably also made sure coverage was limited after the first case, though I do think you’ve hit on something and people become desensitized
>>40996368lies
>>40996413>every time I epilate my body>no I am not a tranny
>>40993363I wonder how good one has to be at meditation to be able to light oneself on fire and just observe it with complete repose.
>>40996413>but I can make a pain somewhat disappear when I concentrate on it, I do it every time I epilate my body for exampleI thought the pain didn't go away, you just reach a point where you can acknowledge the pain without any value judgement. Isn't that what mindfulness meditation trains?
>>40997343I would think you’d want to be able to leave the body and test with lesser amounts of pain before attempting such a thing
>>40996327The video is right here >>40994230>>40996368Buddhists are all about self sacrifice for the greater good, which this qualifies as
>>40996413> I would clearly rather set my enemies on fire as an actionThat's not ahimsa. If you brought this up with the monk in the OP, he would never have even considered it>To me, a protest suicide is not only useless but worse, I would free my enemies from my existenceIt worked for the Vietnam crisis didn't it? The catholics at the head of the south viet government got exposed for being merciless in the name of christ and got assassinated
>>40998398>Buddhists are all about self sacrifice for the greater good, which this qualifies asWho knows what's the greater good? Your statement reeks of liberal morality. The only good is in enlightenment.
God bless everyone
>>40993363Is this still considered suicide? Because he was doing a protest, right? And he killed himself to give a signal that he was dead serious about?
>>40996327>>40995818>>40993363Surprised OP didn't mention that this guy was purposely drugged and not really sure he wanted to go through with it and was tricked into doing it for the photos.

>>40995634> Just the last 2 years was 1 us soldier Aaron Bushnell (died), Matt Nelson anti war activist (died), Sam Mena journalist survived and an unknown person in Atlanta. All in protest of the genocide in gazaI posted a thread about this a month ago and got banned
>>41001420so edgy
>>41003268It is edgy. How the fuck sets himself on fire to protest? Fucking nobody. This is fucking hardcore! It's extreme! Imagine the smell of the burning flesh. Crazy.
>>41002213Those are politics tho. OP is about meditation primarilyAlternate post:4chan has been infiltrated by the enemy!
Yes it's powerful but do you have the discipline to train everyday in order to make your body, breath and mind completely still?
>>41004520My post asked specifically if self immolation effects getting into heaven I didn’t mention any of those, i just used a picture of Aaron Bushnell. Trust me i know how they ban me for posting Epstein, Hitler and esoteric and even a picture of Bushnell. I wouldn’t mention those guys in my postSorry if I wasn’t clearThese glowies know who i am and that’s why i have 16 different web browsers so they can never ban me no matter what I do
>>41003759He burned himself freebasing crack you dumbfuck
>>41004520>>41006578Cont My picture was of an anti-israel poster and asked about only the spiritual effectsOP picture in this thread is protesting Vietnam war by the US and focus only on the spiritual effectsMy thread was gone in under 5 minutes This thread has been up for days (which I’m glad because I keep shitting on israel)It just goes to show who controls this board (zionist shills)I’m not complaining about this thread, I’m bumping so everyone sees this shitFuck zionists, fuck Israel

>>40993363I didn't quite get the meaning of the mind is void of suffering until I saw this absolute madlad
>>41009382True. Dude was next level
>>40993363I did the opposite last week. Inspired of the story of Sakyamuni feeding himself to a hungry tigress in a previous life, I have fed myself to my Gangstalkers.
>>40997144I mean yeah, seeing one monk burn himself alive perfectly still was probably pretty shocking, but, I'm guessing even local reporters and so on became disinterested in it...
>>41010647And then they vanished ?
>>41010647Burn those pathetic fucks
