Early this month I came across an interesting news story about a school in Ubon Ratchathani that was accused of forcing its students to join the activities of a Chinese religious sect presented under the guise of dhamma training.
According to the report, the school hosted a one-day camp to promote dhamma for its Matthayom 5 students. It turned out to have nothing to do with Buddha's teachings but was more of a cult-like ritual.
The students were given a talk about death before they joined what the lecturer claimed to be a ceremony to eliminate their names from the list of the "angel of death".
