Naciketa's Initiation Story

In Naciketa's initiation story, her father becomes nervous about his eternal soul. He goes to the priests of a big temple in the community and he says, I'm kind of worried about what's going to happen after I die. The priests tell him about this special ceremony where you can make a great deal of good karma or merit. And so as I give all that I value to the temple,. she writes. Her teacher Ajahn Chah looked back and said, yes, he said, I think you should take it in a big barrel and just throw it off the bridge. She continues: "Nachikaita saw as we can the hypocrisy of religion"
