Original Note:
Self-immolation is not always considered an act of suicide. It can also be an act of protest or devotion. For some Buddhists, for example, self-immolation is seen as "a devotional act of embodied practice: 'the importance is not to take one’s life, but to burn.'" https://theconversation.com/understanding-self-immolation-in-buddhism-after-wynn-bruces-earth-day-action-182007
