Monk Seok Gwang-deok Gwang-deok 1897 – June 11, 1963

As a personal offering as a means of resistance against the oppression of Vietnamese Buddhism
Monk Gwangdeok did not lift his seat or scream until his body burned down
I don’t show the burning pain that’s famous for being very painful among other pain until I die
The fact that we endure nonchalantly can only be explained as an act that is impossible unless we have patience beyond humans
Even when I hit the tip of my toe on the threshold, it makes me scream and my face frown
You don’t have to explain how difficult it would be to keep your face calm without moaning once while your whole body is sizzling
Before I make the sacrifice of my faith, I told my disciples
If you fall forward, you will have to flee abroad, and if you fall backward, the struggle will prevail
That’s what he said. He really fell backwards
What’s really amazing about this is that human muscles are more than flexors
It is common for the body to fall forward because the muscles contract and naturally shrink inward
In pain that is difficult to even express, he stretched his body with all his might until the end with a tremendous will, fell backward, and nirvana
At this tremendous sight, the police were also mesmerized and stood blankly looking at the monk, and the monks around him bowed to Seok Gwang-deok all at once
And the police who were monitoring the monks stopped monitoring them and joined them
I bowed to him
