It's extremely sad, yet extremely inspiring.  The man is my hero.  Unfortunately this video is a reenactment from a movie called Mondo Cane 2.  There was no video footage taken of the event.

Ahh, I didn't know that either. Thanks for informing me.
Well, nonetheless, the black and white image is still probably one of the most moving photographs I've ever seen.

Shows the power of meditation. Here's a study that also shows its power, for those interested:

Jack Kornfield, "Intensive Insight Meditation: A Phenomenological Study," The Journal of Transpersonal Psychology, vol. 11, no. 1, 1979
