On one hand, you've got the dedication and determination of the monastic lifestyle of a Buddhist. Inner peace, divine enlightenment, spiritual atonement. Then on the other hand, you've got chicks and beer. How could you ever go back to the pagoda after that? [thanks William!]
Two Buddhist monks abandoned their vows after they fell in love with a pair of teenage girls who sold beer across from their temple in central Cambodia, a newspaper reported Monday.

The two monks -- Nang Pong and Vom Vong, both 19 -- gave up their monastic lives Thursday after the chief monk at their temple accused them of secretly courting the girls in violation of Buddhist precepts, The Cambodia Daily reported.

The teenage girls earlier had been told to leave the monks alone, Deputy District Police Chief Yung Sam was quoted as saying.
Ah, teenage girls with beer. Is there anything they can't do? I think not.
