A Buddhist monk in Thailand chopped off his own head — on his birthday — in hopes the gruesome sacrifice would bring him luck in the afterlife, according to reports.
Thammakorn Wangpreecha, 68, a monk for 11 years, built a guillotine near a religious statue portraying the god Indra doing the same thing, the UK’s Metro reported.
The monk’s nephew, who found the decapitated body, said he had left behind a note. “It stated that chopping his head off was his way of praising Buddha, and he had been planning this for five years now,” Booncherd Boonrod said.

I very that you’re Buddhist, but you don’t have to lose your head.

I’m thinking that Buddha will have something to say to him when he arrives at the next life.

I guess they ditched their modern form of protest which was giving Democrats money like they did with Algore.

I'm confused - the god Indra is a Hindu God. Why would a Buddhist find inspiration from this?

Y'all really DO NOT want to know what I really feel about this IDIOT Do you ????
