11 - Hungry Ghosts in Buddhism

Learn Buddhism with Alan Peto - A podcast by Alan Peto

With Halloween approaching, let's talk about our version of "ghosts" in Buddhism called "hungry ghosts".  These are beings in one of the realms of rebirth where they are constantly craving, and can't be satisfied.  Instead of fearing these ghosts, Buddhists practice compassion towards them through many festivals and ceremonies hoping they can hear and find the Buddha's teachings towards liberation.
