Sixth Buddhist Nun Burns Self in Da Nang
In Da Nang a 26 year old Buddhist nun Thich Na Dieu Dinh burned herself to death in a pagoda courtyard, the sixth such self immolation in a wave of anti government protests. The act followed a letter to President Johnson accusing Vietnamese Buddhists of being annihilated by U.S. policies and came amid a split between militant and moderate Buddhists over a civilian rule truce. Tam Chau, the moderate head of the Buddhist Institute, resigned, with a special council to decide acceptance. The anniversary of Buddha’s birth was observed as calm returned to Saigon and Hue remained under military control.
