If he rejected Jesus Christ and never had faith in the Son, then he merely accelerated his ultimate destination for an eternal firey torment and good riddance.

And, do you include Jews and Hindus along with this Buddihist?

I would include any person, even those who claim to be Christian but never have faith in God through Christ, by any of the evidence He is known to us throughout all of history, but would prefer to exalt themselves over Him.

The sacrifice has already been performed by Jesus Christ, no other is needed. The only thing rendered by the suicide is an arrogant display of emotion desiring to cause other people to feel sorry for him in his lack of obedience to God. The display in and of itself is impotent. If man were to react to the display and change his behavior, then the suicidal monk would prefer a world where people seek to appease suicidal maniacs than seek righteousness through faith in God.

At best such an effort is merely a display of human good void of Divine righteousness parlayed into evil by a counterfeit system of worldliness and false religion. More simply spoken, it is an appeal to a satanic (counterfeit cosmic) system rather than an appeal to life by the methods already provided by God Himself.

My statement is not to judge, but a mere observation of a person whose behavior reflects a higher appeal to false systems of righteousness rather than simply retaining faith in any Divine Righteousness.
