I can remember thinking to myself how strong a persons beliefs must be to strap a bomb to themselves and then to blow themselves up in what we all see as an act of terror.
I can also recall being so drawn into Christianity that I placed my family second to it.
The mind and the will can be so powerful and I see this act spoken of in this thread falling into the same energy.
Look at what Hitler did and what his followers did. Unspeakable things and yet not to those who did it.
Inspired by what these monks did....no. Inspired by the power of the mind and will and intentions.....yes.
