Thích Quảng Đức (alternatively Thich Quang Duc) is the Buddhist monk who self-immolated (burned himself) in 1963 as a protest to the treatment of monks by the South Vietnamese government at the time. He is most widely recognisable from the picture featured on the 1992 album cover of Rage Against the Machine by the group of the same name. RATM’s hit single Killing In The Name
is possibly going to be number 1 in the UK music charts this Christmas.
