One placed a cushion on the road while the second opened the trunk and took out a five-gallon gasoline can. As the marchers formed a circle around him, Thích Quảng Đức calmly seated himself in the traditional Buddhist meditative lotus position on the cushion.

Flames consumed his robes and flesh, and black oily smoke emanated from his burning body.[18][20]
