Wikipedia defines a martyr as "someone who suffers persecution and death for advocating, renouncing, or refusing to renounce a religious belief or other cause." Browsing this way lets a visitor separate figures who died as martyrs from those who died of natural causes, in battle, or by other means.FactsDied of natural causesConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsDirectoryCategoryWell-attestedHistorical Figures 1Died of natural causesFilter Results17 entriesTraditionAllBuddhism (10)EraAll1222 to 1282 (1)1394 to 1481 (1)1758 to 1831 (1)1854 to 1938 (1)1870 to 1949 (1)1870 to 1966 (1)1904 to 1971 (1)1904 to 1982 (1)1923 to 1997 (1)1925 to 2018 (1)1926 to 2022 (1)1927 to 2023 (1)1939 to 1987 (1)617 to 686 (1)625 to 702 (1)942 to 1017 (1)Place of ActivityAllChina (1)France (1)Japan (3)Kyoto (1)Laos (1)Myanmar (1)Niigata Prefecture (1)Oxford (1)Saint Petersburg (1)San Francisco (1)Shanghai (1)South Korea (1)Taiwan (1)Thailand (1)Udon Thani (1)United States (1)Varanasi (1)Yangon (1)GenderAllFemale (1)Male (16)HistoricityAllHistorically attested (17)Veneration StatusAllHistorically Significant but Not Venerated (1)Officially Recognized or Venerated (11)NationalityAllCanada (1)China (1)Germany (1)Japan (5)Myanmar (1)Russian Empire (1)South Korea (1)Thailand (2)United Kingdom (1)Vietnam (1)Member OfAllFo Guang Shan (1)Revered InAllBuddhism (16)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 17Agvan DorzhievDied of natural causesAjahn Maha BuaDied of natural causesAjahn Mun BhuridattaDied of natural causesAyya KhemaDied of natural causesChogyam TrungpaDied of natural causesD.T.
