Did you know how strong the mind is? There was a monk named Thích Quảng Đức who set himself on fire in 1963 as an advocation to end the Vietnam War. He did not move whilst on fire, and while this was a radical behavior, it proves the power of the mind of those monks. Proof that you can control many things if you are in control of your mind! (While I am an advocate for creating a strong mind I highly recommend against the setting of self on fire.)
