A buddhist monk who cut off his penis with a machete after becoming aroused during mediation has refused to have it sown back on. The 35 year old monk told doctors in the Maharaj hospital in Chiang Mai, Thailand that he had renounced the cares of the world.
"We cleaned up his wound and gave him some stitches" said a hospital spokesman, "but he declined to have it reattached because he said he had abandoned everything"
