Hòa th ng Thích Qu ng c ( b. 1897 d. 11 June 1963) was a Vietnamese Mahayana Buddhist monk who burned himself to death at a busy Saigon road intersection on 11 June 1963. Thích Qu ng c was protesting against the persecution of Buddhists by South Vietnam''s Ngô ình Di m administration. Photos of his self-immolation were circulated widely across the world and brought attention to the policies of the Di m regime. Malcolm Browne won a Pulitzer Prize for his iconic photo of the monk''s death, as did David Halberstam for his written account. After his death, his body was re-cremated, but his heart remained intact. This was interpreted as a symbol of compassion and led Buddhists to revere him as a bodhisattva, heightening the impact of his death on the public psyche.
