OAKLAND (CBS SF) — An elderly Buddhist monk was in critical condition after being stabbed by a fellow monk in Oakland Tuesday night, a church elder confirmed to KPIX 5.

Oakland police say the assault happened at 6:19 p.m. Tuesday evening in the 600 block of Douglas Avenue in Oakland. The 66-year-old man was taken to a local hospital and listed in critical condition.

The small community of monks who live in the Oakland neighborhood say they’re committed to living in peaceful co-existence with one another

It seems even Buddhist monks aren't what they used to be.

Phin says the attacker had only recently joined the monastery, and is in disbelief that someone they welcomed into their home could commit such a violent crime. Phin says the attacker ran away while he frantically called 911 for help.

So, this is the thanks they get for taking this man into their home. I hope they've found this guy. I also hope this elderly Buddhist monk makes a full recovery.
