Suddenly getting whiffs of ganja, which is unheard of here. I'm wondering if someone (perhaps mistakenly) burnt some 'offerings' for their ancestors.
I find religion largely to be dumb and empty of much value, but I do love the idea of hungry ghosts as a metaphor for the brokenness of far too many of the people in my culture.

#DeathRockRadio played our song #VoodooLady in episode 33:
We're in good company with the likes of #BobWayne #TheCoffinShakers and #HungryGhosts to name a few.
Straight truth, #TimWalz enacted free school lunches in #Minnesota.
Let's do more of that. No more hungry children, no more hungry ghosts.

After the meal a monk later makes an offering of raw rice to the garden to complete the 'saba' ritual.
At death beings are reborn into 1 of 6 Buddhist realms. One of these is called the 'Realm of Hungry Ghosts' (ι€ι¬Όι)...occupied by people corrupted by desire, greed, anger and ignorance in life.
The saba ritual originated as food set aside to ease the suffering of these ghosts.
