I love other culture's customs surrounding death and the afterlife, etc. I had never heard of this festival before. Thank you for sharing something interesting and also inspiring for a dark fiction writer. I have ideas brewing in my tiny writer head now!<br /><br />I am a huge fan of Day of the Dead and other customs. The Chinese ghosts from what I have read in Chinese fiction, are not very friendly a lot of the time. I guess if you're exacting revenge, you wouldn't be. LOL <br /><br />Happy hopping this weekend. Hope to see you around my blog.<br /><br />-NoraNora B.

It goes on throughout the second half of October, and while a lot of it is sensationalized for tourist season it is still based on the thought process that the dead will come and visit you during that time of year.Mom et alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01299203088055966079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7488090118671289297.post-51095303237502139022010-08-12T04:52:04.999-07:002010-08-12T04:52:04.999-07:00that all sounds so spooky, but i love the tale of ...that all sounds so spooky, but i love the tale of the celebration and the paper gifts. really fascinating.Tinahttp://www.mummy-diaries.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7488090118671289297.post-85472407665584331992010-08-11T22:09:16.589-07:002010-08-11T22:09:16.589-07:00My friend, who used to not believe in this kind of...My friend, who used to not believe in this kind of stuff, became a believer when one of her friends was visiting Hong Kong around this time of the year. Her guy friend was out late one night and as he was walking down a steep stairway, he saw a couple walking up. The way they went up was odd so he turned around to look at them. He saw that they were floating up and their feet were not touching the steps. Needless to say, the guy ran as fast as his feet could carry him. He became a believer of the gate of Hell story ever since.RoseBellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10152651219690178817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7488090118671289297.post-52047412126961698302010-08-11T22:04:40.002-07:002010-08-11T22:04:40.002-07:00We can't do all those paper burning here.

LOL! <br /><br />I just read that lunar date 7-15 is the day Buddha designated as the day we pay respect to our parents and parents of our past 7 lives. We should offer food offerings and prayers to lessen the karmic offenses that they accumulated. If any of them became wandering ghosts, then our prayers on this date will help them crossover. Somehow, the belief that hell gate opens around this time.RoseBellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10152651219690178817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7488090118671289297.post-10519094687537051492009-08-23T20:32:46.633-07:002009-08-23T20:32:46.633-07:00I've never heard of the Hungry Ghost Festival,...I've never heard of the Hungry Ghost Festival, wheres it atSharon Culbertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10481978873045217370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7488090118671289297.post-82215854520126072372009-08-23T20:21:46.615-07:002009-08-23T20:21:46.615-07:00Veronica I love your blog! :) I didn't know th...Veronica I love your blog! :) I didn't know that.
