A Vietnam monk's heart refused to burn during cremation
βMy favorite, the guy who set himself on fire to protest the Vietnam War, the monk who set himself on fire who just literally walks out, sits in Lotus position, sets himself on fire, doesn't blink or fidget. His heart didn't set on fire. His whole body went to crisp, but his heart was still there. In the cremation period, they tried to cremate his heart, and it refused to burn. As soon as I see this, any of my questions around what the human mind is capable of, goes out the window.β
