Yes indeed, some prominent progressive monks in Thailand have spoken up now against the teachings of Phra Dhammachayo, the leader of the Dhammakaya sect. Among them are Phra Paisal Visalo and Phra Payom Kalyano, well-known environmentalist monks who promote "small is beautiful" rather than "big, Bigger, BIGGEST" that impresses some people in Thailand and also in the West. The opposition against Dhammakaya is quite big across Thailand, fortunately most people will simply not believe the fairy tales that the abbot tells in his TV programs, they find it ridiculous and make fun out of him.
However, because of the politics in the Thai Sangha and the connection with some powerful politicians and businessmen, the leader of Dhammakaya has managed to keep his show going for a long time now. Several years ago, during the scandal with property and money at Wat Dhammakaya, the Sangharaja Somdet Nyanasamvara Thera has apparently signed a document accusing Phra Dhammachayo of a Parajika (disrobing) offense:
Now another accusation is made against Phra Dhammachayo: if he simply told his audience that the story about Steve Jobs is made up in order to illustrate the workings of Kamma and rebirth, it would be no problem, but he pretends to actually see all this through his super-normal powers. This amounts to claiming "uttarimanussa-dhamma" and, if proven false and that he is knowingly deceiving his audience, it would also be a Parajika (disrobing) offense according to the Vinaya.
