We’ve all heard the saying “everything in moderation” right? Well, you would think that a person who meditates every day would understand the meaning of this message….

Meditation Gone Seriously Wrong

But, meditation can go wrong- as it did in this case.

I just found an article in a Buddhist online newspaper informing of a Buddhist monk having chopped off his OWN penis! This happened in Thailand and the monk was only 35 years old.
Apparently, while this monk was meditating, he had an erection. He decided this was not acceptable and took matters into his own hands…. With a machete!

You can read my review on it as well. If you prefer videos,  the Easy Calm Videos might be the best tool for you.

What do you think about this news? Do you think it is an honorable act of dedication? Or, is it a sign of things going too far?
