Interesting. I find the total dedication certain monks have to be pretty interesting, such as in the practice of self-mummufication/Sokushinbutsu.

Here's a related pic of probably the most famous self immolation, to protest Vietnam War.

Really amazing stuff, honestly. I never forgot this image from the first time I saw it.

Example of a self-mummified monk just because I think it's relevant and badass.
