BANGKOK (Reuters) - 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.

Prawing declined to comment on the monk's erection, which Bangkok-based Kom Chad Luk tabloid reported on its Web site.

*pulls out 'Religions For Me' list. Crosses off Buddhism.*

Another one bites the dust. :p

Oww. :(

Jeez, I guess he was never told that if you rub one out before situations you don't want to accidently pitch a tent, it decreases the chance of such occurances.

Besides, now he's going to still get wood, it'll just be stumpy wood. He should of taken his balls.

Luckily for me, I'm not Buddhist! Tee hee! :)
Seriously though, he's going to regret doing that some day...

Oh please buddhist dont go around cutting their penis off. This is HIS own choice as he most likely thought it was unpure to do something like that

You are not force to cut your dicks off if you are buddhist not even buddhist monks do that.

He's a monk, it's not like it was going to see any use anyways.

Now that's dedication!

Rather him than me.

My uncle and aunt are/were Buddhist monks. They don't have any kids...

:eek:

The obvious question for me: How does he pee?

Please, learn to take a joke.

They're easy to tell...usually, the poster is Lunatic Goofballs. The name should tip you off to his personality.

Sitting down.

France surrenders to the castrated monk.

Sitting down.

See, that's where I got stuck. Peeing into a urinal through a stump I can understand. But if you're sitting down, say peeing while you poop, you don't have a penis to angle the pee into the bowl, so to speak. I'm imagining a spray straight out over top of the bowl.

Hmm... It'll take some more wondering.

France surrenders to the castrated monk.

That is not funny nor does it make sense

Yes, it is. But I'd imagine it makes more sense if you read the Rwandan thread.

Yes, it is. But I'd imagine it makes more sense if you read the Rwandan thread.

Actually, I'm just in a mood to state that everything that occurs right now, France is surrendering to. I don't know why.

Meh, I'm not gonna knock another Frenchie joke. :D

He pwned himself.

lol!

I always thought Buddhism had a nihilistic, anti-life aspect to it.

Why? Monks stay celebate just like the monks in catholiscm etc

I know that. I didn't say other religions weren't nihilistic and anti-life.

goes to show that religious people act weird no matter what religion they follow.

Re the news article:

1) Here's a link, lest anyone accuse HT of making this up. (In the future, please source your own articles out of common courtesy.)

http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/world/2006-11/23/content_741564.htm

2) The teachings specificaly reject self-mortification. This monk's teacher has, IMHO, failed him severly.

Nope, not at all. This is addressed in depth here (inic.utexas.edu/asnic/phillips/pages/philofreligion/nishitaninihil.pdf) and less so here (http://www.uq.net.au/slsoc/bsq/budchr7.htm).

I know that. I didn't say other religions weren't nihilistic and anti-life.

And neither is Buddhism. Please consult the references I gave above.

No LG, I don't think earthly cares include playing with mud.

And now, look at where the news article occured.

Coincidence? I think not.
