What You’ll Experience

The Venerable Thich Quang Duc Monument

The Thich Quang Duc Statue in Ho Chi Minh City commemorates a pivotal moment in Vietnamese history. Located at the intersection of Cach Mang Thang Tam and Nguyen Dinh Chieu streets, this solemn monument honors the self-immolation of Thich Quang Duc, a Buddhist monk who sacrificed himself on June 11, 1963, to protest the persecution of Buddhists by the South Vietnamese government. The bronze statue depicts the monk seated serenely in meditation, surrounded by stylized flames symbolizing his ultimate act of devotion and courage. The surrounding garden offers a peaceful space for reflection, with inscriptions detailing his story and its profound impact on the global community. Visitors come not only to pay respects but also to gain insight into Vietnam's turbulent history and the enduring power of spiritual resistance. This moving tribute serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made in the pursuit of equality and freedom of religion.
