Autopenectomy: The last guy in the news for this was on datura.

Oh well. Never let a hard-on stand between you and satori.

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.

So did he keep the twins? That's gotta look pretty odd to have a sack with no sausage.
"Altruism is killing America. We who want to save America must repudiate this killer, root and branch. We must understand and explain to others that the acceptance of altruism necessitates the violation of individual rights... and that the arguments for altruism are baseless..."

Yep, I think this guy needs some more "enlightenment". This is definitely not normal or kosher behavior for Buddhist monks.

Why would erection bother him during meditation?

I wouldn't have thought so either. Maybe he's a nut job.

As far as being a Buddhist monk is concerned, he's got bigger problems than having no penis.
During meditation you're supposed to let things come and go, arise and vanish, as they happen.
His reaction to his erection is a much bigger deal than the erection itself.

Agreed. Having an erection is not as big a deal as hacking one off with a machete.
