Shaolin Monks are Buddhists.

This Buddhist Monk set himself on fire at a busy intersection in Saigon in 1963.

He burned to death without uttering a sound, without moving a muscle from his Lotus position.
It was a protest against the persecution of Buddhism by the South Vietnam administration.




Self-immolations are currently going on in Tibet too. 120 Tibetans have done the job since Feb 2009.
They want to be free of Chinese rule, and want their dalai lama to be allowed to return.



These guys are not to be messed with.
They would not fear fighting a man in a cage under rules and regulations.
