“a pure act.”

Perverted lie. For a monk to self-immolate is commit violence against oneself, and thereby violence against the entire world (since in Buddhism they are one and the same.) It's warfare. It's a physical manifestation of violence of the mind.

Is self-immolation supposed to be a shortcut to Nirvana or something?
