"Wed Nov 22, 6:23 AM ET 


"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.....'"
