Two monks injured in brawl after drinking session

By The Nation

 

Two monks were injured in a brawl and subsequent knife fight after they drank together at their temple in Ang Thong's Pa Mok district late on Friday night.


Pa Mok police were alerted to the incident at Wat Amphawan in Moo 1 village in Tambon Pa Mok of Pa Mok district at 11pm.

 

When police arrived at the scene, they found Phra Wannop Roengjai, 52, soaked in blood. He suffered cuts to his head, back, arms and chin. Medics performed first aid and took him to the district hospital.

 

Phra Wannop told police that he drank with Phra Chuchart Boonloh, 43, and they engaged in a dispute before Phra Chuchart attacked him.

 

Phra Wannop said he seized the knife and threw it away.

 

After Phra Wannop was sent to the hospital, Phra Chuchart, who had a big cut on his chest, said Phra Wannop attacked him with the knife first so he seized the knife and hit him back with the knife.

 

Phra Chuchart was also sent to the hospital.

 

Police will wait for them to recover before asking the abbot to defrock both of them so that they would face legal charges.

Drink plus not allowing him to go out and earn money,maybe

for more alcohol,that would make him angry.

Thai Buddhism at its best, portraying how to act, a great indicator at just how the youth of today view Buddhism...……….They don't !!

Any credibility monks have must be dwindling on a daily basis for anyone reading the news.

As we all learn year by year, religious paragons of virtue are nothing more than mere mortals after all.

It is sad in Thailand that abbots of the temples did not vet the candidates who wanted to enter monk hood. Whether they have the sincerity to pursue spirituality. In certain countries, monk hood is highly regarded and candidates must have the inner strength and calling to make it. At least here in Thailand, there are merits  in numbers.. some of the monks evidently make good as there are 23 monks of eminent repute.

The tatoos suggests that he's been a convict before he joined the 'monkhood'. 

No, The tattoos indicate he had another life before joining the monk-hood !!

He could as well have been a convict but the tattoos don't indicate that.

So ''Buddhism'' is not the religion of peace as well....

 

 

Buddhism doesn't preach violence, Christianity and Islam do. That doesn't mean their are people who pretend to live by a certain code actually do so.
