A Thai Buddhist monk cut off his penis with a machete because he had an erection during meditation and declined to have it reattached, saying he had renounced all earthly cares, a doctor and a newspaper said on Wednesday.
The 35-year-old monk, whose name was withheld for privacy reasons, allowed medical staff at Maharaj hospital, 780 km (480 miles) south of Bangkok to dress his wound, but refused reattachment, hospital chief Prawing Euanontouch said.
“We cleaned up the wound, gave him some stitches, but he declined to have it reattached because he said had abandoned everything,” Prawing told Reuters by telephone.
I would have went with a cold shower to get my mind realigned. Refusing to have the appendage reattached is a completely different approach.
Ouch.
“I would have went…”
is that another ‘americanism’ or just bad grammer? while we’re at it, please look up the difference between ‘then’ and ‘than’.
all in the nicest possible sense of course ;)
Ejumacate me then Tom.
So… How will he pee?
bad “grammer” huh?
if you’re correcting someone’s spelling, try spelling correctly yourself…
Yeh How will he pee?
otherwise YUCK
all in the nicest possible sense of course. Angry beavers, the lot of ya.
my spelling? it was bound to happen when I was correcting someone else.
I almost fell out laughing when reading this news article! If giving up all earthly pleasures
is indeed a sacrifice any monk must make, then maybe cutting his penis off was for the
best after all. However, it is painfully obvious that having erection would have meant that
this particular monk had something on his mind other than meditating. Therefore, can it
really be said that he has completely given up all earthly pleasures? HMM???
