Burning monk fights fire with fire: Vietnam War

Why did BURNING MONK sit so still for self-immolation? The story of Thích Quảng Đức

 

We'll kill that g**k for imperial US corporations

(Buddha's Wisdom) May 1, 2026: 🔥 The photo the world has never forgotten during the imperial U.S. War on peaceful Buddhist Vietnam: The Burning Monk, Ven. Thich Quang Duc, became one of the most haunting images of the Vietnam War era.

• Buddhism in Vietnam
• [Worship of Amitabha Cosmic Buddha (Pure Land Rebirth Dharani) rather than following the enlightened advice of the historical Buddha Shakyamuni born Prince Siddhartha Gautama]
• Buddhism in Cambodia
• Buddhism in Laos
• Buddhism in Southeast Asia

On June 11, 1963, he sat down in a Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) intersection and didn't move. But behind the famous photograph is a deeper Buddhist story about:

• persecution,
• nonviolent protest,
• meditative stillness (samadhi), and
• the monk whose final act shook the Catholic Ngo Dinh Diem regime and forced the world to look at Vietnam differently.

We had to kill Buddhists to rule by force!

It was the visible shape of a lifetime of Pure Land Buddhist practice, pressed all the way to the edge. This is the untold story behind the most powerful photograph of the 20th century and what Buddhism actually teaches about the mind that met that morning.

Brothers in the Beloved Community: The Friendship of Thich Nhat Hanh and Martin Luther King Jr.

Brothers (Parallax Press)

(Paperback) Author Bishop Marc Andrus has 4.7 out of 5 stars (with 105 reviews). This is the never-before-told story of the friendship between American Christian Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh—icons who changed each other and the world.

The day after Rev. King was assassinated in 1968, Thich Nhat Hanh wrote a heartbroken letter to their mutual friend Raphael Gould. In it he said: "I did not sleep last night.... They killed Martin Luther King. They killed us.

"I am afraid the root of violence is so deep in the heart and mind and manner of this society. They killed him. They killed my hope. I do not know what to say.... He made so great an impression in me. This morning I have the impression that I cannot bear the loss." More

AUTHOR: Marc Andrus is the American bishop of the Episcopal Church (Anglican Communion). He was the eighth bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of California until his retirement in the summer of 2024. Prior to his election as Bishop of California, Andrus served as a suffragan bishop in the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama. More

3-minute history of Los Angeles' Rapp Saloon in Santa Monica

What happened?

3rd Thursday Poetry: SPARC (7/17)

It's every third Thursday (except December). Tonight's show put the spotlight on two artists featured on Wisdom Quarterly, an environmentalist and a poet dealing in race and esteem issues as a Vietnamese American poet. We discovered a new talent that stole the show, painter Ekaterina Sky. She was performing Earthcentric slam poetry, passionate about restoring nature from all of our manmade disasters.

What else you got?

There is no ART without ARTists who share.

Poetry is running rampant across the city, spreading culture and resistance, saying "no" to Trump and ICE, fascism and racism, Tinsel Town excesses and the dumbing down of a digitally-addicted society. There's more. Tonight (Friday, July 17, 2025) is Rapp Saloon's 14th anniversary with Hostess Elena Secota at the Youth Hostel in Santa Monica.

Cloud-seeding Texas floods: Cause?

How bad could a flash flood be?

Confirmed: CEO of weather modification company (Rainmaker) reveals cloud seeding operations were conducted in Texas two days before deadly flood. Oops

Perhaps this is not [to the level of] "Weather Warfare" [the U.S. secretly practices], but it's cloud-seeding nonetheless.

The CEO of a weather modification technology company has confirmed cloud seeding operations took place in Texas just two days before the deadly central Texas flood occurred.

• Confirmed: CEO weather modification company reveals cloud-seeding (thegatewaypundit.com via rense.com)

NBC News reported that CEO Augustus Doricko of Rainmaker, a weather modification company, said planes had released silver iodide into the atmosphere in Texas two days prior to the fatal Texas Hill Country (Guadalupe River) floods that have claimed over 100 lives.

Now, what are we to believe? Doricko claims the cloud-seeding operations did not cause the flooding in Texas.

According to Doricko, Rainmaker flew a brief 20-minute cloud-seeding mission in southcentral Texas last Tuesday but suspended all operations that same day due to abnormally high moisture content in the air.

The two clouds seeded during the Tuesday flight would have dissipated after a few hours and would have had no effect [whatsoever] on the floods several days later, he added.

• After Texas floods, misinformation on cloud-seeding swirls

Cloud seeding BLAMED for Texas floods, deaths, CEO Doricko SPEAKS

Cloud-seeding involves using chemicals, often particles of silver iodide [or other particulate matter as is used in chemtrail aerosol campaigns that feature barium, aluminum, red blood cells, and secret ingredients to amplify EMF and microwave signals from H.A.A.R.P.], to trigger the formation of ice crystals or droplets from water that’s already present in a cloud but not being efficiently turned into rain.

Though the technique has been studied for decades [refined by American war criminals during the US War on Vietnam to flood the jungle and root out Viet Cong soldiers with 50 or so inches of rain to inundate specified areas during war], it remains difficult to predict the additional rainfall that cloud-seeding operations can generate, with estimates ranging widely from 0% to 20%.

What’s clear is that the technique [so far admitted to] would not have been able to generate the record-breaking rainfall seen in Texas. So much rain fell that the Guadalupe River at Kerrville, one of the epicenters of the floods, rose some 26 feet (8 meters) in less than an hour overnight on Friday [while campers slept while celebrating the 4th of July weekend or attending Christian girls summer camp].

"Based on the meteorological evidence, the Texas floods were caused by a powerful natural weather system, with thunderstorms fed by very moist air from the warm Gulf of Mexico," said Andrew Charlton-Perez, professor of meteorology at the University of Reading in the UK.

In a post on X (Twitter), Doricko shared: "The last seeding mission prior to the July 4th event was during the early afternoon of July 2nd, when a brief cloud seeding mission was flown over the eastern portions of south-central Texas, and two clouds were seeded."

Further: "The clouds that were seeded on July 2nd dissipated over 24 hours prior to the developing storm complex that would produce the flooding rainfall."

Final thought: Rainmaker may not be at fault, but this is an interesting development, indeed. Source: Confirmed: CEO of Weather Modification Company Reveals Cloud Seeding Operations Were Conducted in Texas Two Days Before Deadly Flood – Def-Con News

Miracle survival in Texas floods (sutra)

Sleeping campers swept away in Texas Hill Country flash flood

• Guadalupe River (Texas): The river, and the larger area around it known as Texas Hill Country, is prone to flash flooding. Its nickname is Flash Flood Alley.

Sutra: Not Being Swept Away

Kappa-manava-puccha: Kappa's Question, based on Ven. Thanissaro's translation

Birds eye view of a safe refuge from the flood of stormy ocean, a tropical island (craiyon.com)

.

[Kappa asked the Buddha this question:]

For one stranded in the middle of the water,

in the flood of great danger called rebirth,

overwhelmed by aging and death,

Tell me, dear sir,

and show me the safe island

so that this may not happen again.

[The Buddha replied:]

For one stranded in the middle of the water

in the flood of great danger called rebirth,

overwhelmed by aging [rebirth] and death,

I will tell you the island, Kappa.

Having nothing,

clinging to no thing:

That is the island,

there is no other.

That refuge is nirvana, I declare,

the complete elimination of [rebirth] aging and death.

Those knowing this, mindful,

fully awakened

present here and now,

no longer bound as Mara's* slaves,

no longer come under Mara's influence.

• *Mara is the personification of Death, a literal being, an Asura (Titan) and high-born deva (being of light like Lucifer) in a Sensual Sphere heaven, often used figuratively to refer to four types of Mara.

SUTRA: Everything is swept away

Ratthapala Sutta (MN 82, PTS: M ii 54)

Maitreya Buddha arises as a Central Asian king

King Koravya sat down on a prepared seat. Sitting there, he said to [the Buddhist monk] Ven. Ratthapala, "There are situations where, having suffered the four kinds of loss, people shave off their hair, don saffron robes, and go forth from home life into the left-home life [of a monastic].

"What are the four? There is loss as a result of aging, loss as a result of sickness, loss of wealth, and loss of relatives...

"However, Ven. Ratthapala has suffered none of these. So what did he know, see, or hear that he was motivated to go forth from the home life into the left-home life?"

"Great king, there are four summaries of the Dhamma (the Teaching) stated by the Blessed One [the Buddha] who directly knows and sees, the Worthy One, who rightly awakened. Having known and seen and heard them, I set forth from the home life into the left-home life. What are these four?

1. "'The world [8] is swept away and does not endure' -- this is the first summary of the Dhamma...
2. "'The world is without shelter (permanent refuge) and without protector' -- this is the second...
3. "'The world is [utterly impersonal] without owner. One has to pass on, leaving everything behind' -- this is the third...
4. "'The world is insufficient, insatiable, a slave to craving' -- this is the fourth...

"These, great king, are the four summaries of the Dhamma stated by the Blessed One who directly knows and sees, the Worthy One, rightly awakened. Having known and seen and heard them, I set forth from the home life into the left-home life."

Sometimes the flash flood comes in the night.

"Ven. Ratthapala, you say, 'The world is swept away and does not endure.' How is the meaning of this statement to be understood?"

"Let me ask what you think, great king. When you were 20 or 25 years old — an expert elephant rider, expert horseman, expert charioteer, expert archer, expert swordsman — were you strong in arm and thigh, fit and seasoned for warfare?"

"Yes, Ven. Ratthapala... I was strong... It was as if I had supernormal power. I do not see anyone who was my equal in strength."

Guadalupe River (Texas) Wikipedia map

"What do you think, great king? Are you now as strong...?"

"Not at all, Ven. Ratthapala. Now I am a feeble old man, aged, advanced in years, having come to the last stage of life, 80 years old. Thinking, 'I will place my foot here,' I place it somewhere else."

"Referring to this, great king, the Blessed One who knows and sees, the Worthy One rightly awakened, said, 'The world is swept away and does not endure.'

"Having known and seen and heard this, I set forth from the home life into the left-home life."

"It is amazing, Ven. Ratthapala, it is astounding how well that has been said by the Blessed One who knows and sees, the Worthy One rightly awakened! 'The world is swept away and does not endure.' For the world really is swept away, Ven. Ratthapala, and does not endure. More

Dvejana Sutta: Two People (1)

Ven. Thanissaro (trans) edited by Dhr. Seven for Wisdom Quarterly

On one occasion the Blessed One was staying near the City of Savatthi in Jeta's Grove inside the multimillionaire's monastery.

Two Brahmins — feeble old men, aged, far advanced in years, having come to the last stage of life, 120 years old — went to the Blessed One, exchanged courteous greetings, sat respectfully to one side, and said:

"Master Gotama, we are Brahmins — feeble old men, aged, far advanced in years, having come to the last stage of life, 120 years old. We have done no wholesome deeds [accrued no merit, no profitable karma], no skillful deeds, no deeds that allay our fears. Teach us, Master Gotama, instruct us, Master Gotama, for our benefit and lasting happiness."

We're old kings. Right, Dad? - Shu up, Boy.

"Indeed, Brahmins, feeble old men, aged, far advanced in years, having come to the last stage of life, 120 years old, you have [accrued no merit because you have] done no wholesome deeds, no skillful deeds, no deeds that allay your fears. This world is swept away by aging, illness, and death.

"With the world [flooded and] swept away by aging, illness, and death, any restraint of body, speech, and mind practiced here will be one's shelter, safety, island, and refuge after death in the world beyond."

It is swept along, this life, with its next-to-nothing span.

For one swept on by aging, no shelters exist.

Keeping in sight this danger in death, do meritorious deeds that ripen in bliss.

Whoever here is restrained in body, speech, and mind, who makes merit while alive, that will be for future bliss after passing from here.
