    Everyone's just describing the form of hungry ghosts, hungry ghosts are really pitiful, although we can't see them, but they really exist, and they can't eat food, their life span is super long, and their throats are very dry, so we have to give them food, they will get full when they eat the Dharma food blessed by the Buddha and Bodhisattva, and get rid of the hungry ghost way, if you can't remember the feeding ritual, take at least 7 grains of rice and a little water, and recite the mantra of changing the food: Nan Wusa Binding He Oh Duo Lu Lu Emperor Om Sanvaro Sanvaro Om. Then chant hum ah ah ah and throw the rice out, and if you really can't remember the mantra of changing food, you can just chant hum ah bless the rice.

    Hungry ghosts and sentient beings will be very grateful to the giver when they eat the Dharma food, and the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will also love the giver.

    Hungry ghosts are one of the six realms, and they can't eat, or what they are about to eat in their mouths will turn into coals, or they have a big mouth and a thin neck, and they can't swallow it. The Hungry Ghost Dao is only a little better than the Hell Dao, and it is also the second of the Three Evil Daos.

    To put it simply, in the visible and intangible worlds, there is one law that remains unchanged, that is, "people divide things into groups and gather like ones", and "six paths" - the world of six types of beings.

    For example, if we are never satisfied with what we have received when we are alive, we always want to take what we deserve from othersI have a girlfriend and want to talk about a few more at the same time;Earn a million and want 10 million and so on.

    Because in fact, such a person's heart will always feel that he is in a state of want. So in the end, after the end of the time of use of his body, such a person goes to a world of scarcity. Always want anything, and the world will tell him - no!

    That's the "Hungry Ghost Road"!

    According to Buddhism, there must be. According to some senior brothers who can settle down, they can indeed benefit ghost beings. The ghost path is very pitiful.

    Most of them often have only one thought, which is to find food, and they are so hungry that they are called hungry ghosts. And because of karma, many ghosts can't swallow food even if they find it, or turn into fire, so they have a feeding spell, and with the blessing of the spell, many hungry ghosts can eat food.

    The number of ghost paths is huge. How many are there?The Buddha once made an analogy:

    The ratio of humans to celestial beings is the earth's soil to a handful of soil in one's hands, the ratio of side-living beings (including very small insects, ants, etc.) to humans is also the ratio of earth-to-earth, and the ratio of ghosts to other-born beings is also the ratio of earth-to-earth and hand-held soil, and the ratio of hell to ghostly beings is the same. From this, we can see how many beings there are in the Hungry Ghost Dao. It is precisely because of the large number that the merit of giving food is very great, and it can benefit immeasurable ghost sentient beings, and according to the law of cause and effect, the giver will naturally have immeasurable merit and good fortune.

    On the other hand, we have been parents and relatives of each other for too long, so to speak, these ghost beings are our parents and relatives, so we are also called mother-like beings. We have the ability and opportunity to give food, how can we let them suffer from hunger and cold, not for merit, but only for family affection, but also for food, so that they can eat a full stomach. At the same time, some sentient beings, after hearing the Dharma mantras, may be directly reborn in the heavenly path or the Buddha realm, which makes us rejoice.

    Taoism introduced the concept of "reincarnation", minus the Asura path, and put forward the "five paths":

    One is God, God is God, God is God;

    The two paths, the gods into the flesh and bones into the form of human gods;

    The Three Paths, the gods enter the beasts and the beasts are the beast gods;

    The four realms, the gods enter the li, and the hungry ghosts are also famous;

    Those who are in the five realms, those who enter the mud, the name of the hell, and the gods who are guilty of entering the mud and the middle school examination.

    1. We feel fake because we can't see it. We see because there is light that we can feel and there is light that we can't feel. According to scientists, humans can perceive less than one percent of the light waves.

    Theoretically, then, it is possible to have a life made up of light, a substance that we humans cannot see.

    2. Everything must be empirical. Various religions emphasize empirical practice, because it is only under the special conditions of practice that one can see life that is not normally visible to the naked eye. Buddhism compares this particular state to the eye, and according to the level of state, it is called:

    The naked eye, the heavenly eye, the wisdom eye, the Dharma eye, the Buddha's eye. When you reach the level of the eye of heaven, you can see ghosts, and then you can see the heavens and other life states, and only by cultivating and becoming a Buddha can you know everything, and at that time, the Buddha's eye is fine.

    The Hungry Ghost Dao is just a name, it is called the Thirsty Ghost Dao, and there is nothing wrong with it, the vast majority of the beings in this Dao are hungry and thirsty, but in fact, the feeling of thirst is more obvious. Most of the landlords haven't read much Buddhist scriptures, right? When the hungry ghost beings see the heavy rain falling from the sky, they raise their necks and want to catch some rain to quench their thirst, but because of the evil karma they have created, when the rain is a few feet away from them, it will turn into flames and multiply their thirst.

    This is not a fantasy, but the landlord's statement is your own imagination.

    Hehe, you, what a button!

    Hungry ghost path --- refers to the world in which greedy, stingy, and insatiable beings are reincarnated. The life of a hungry ghost is not only hunger, but also thirst, and greed (such as greed for money, greed for sex). And the body was pricked by thousands of needles, the abdomen was like a fire burning, there was no food for tens of thousands of years, and the hungry and thirsty were dying, and they just couldn't die!

    You can't imagine this state! But it is real, and only those who have opened their eyes can see it.

    Hungry ghost --- refers to greedy for something, never satisfied, and describes "hunger"! And not just the hungry hunger.

    There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south!

    1 Beings in the path of hungry ghosts are also thirsty, not just hungry.

    2 When sentient beings commit many sins, they will feel immeasurable hell, "hell of tongue pulling" and "hell ......of dung and urine".Immeasurable hell, just as people have many physical needs, there are many kinds of hell, and this may be what you call "multiple states".

    3 If Zhang San thinks that science is very fake, because since there are "computers", then why are there no "water brains", "oil brains" and "gas brains"? Is electricity the only form of energy? Is electricity the only vehicle for information?

    It feels fake, like a fantasy, so do you agree with Zhang San's opinion?

    The six realms of reincarnation are simply nonsense subjective and imaginary things, a few people upstairs are farting, such a small mouth, if you can't eat something, you can't grow at all, and the pinhole-like mouth may only be a mosquito, it can't be a large animal, because you can't eat much, where does the nutrition come from? Where does matter come from? How big a mouth, how much to eat, how big the body is, and the energy consumed by this body can be satisfied by his mouth, even if the mosquito will be full, no animal can violate the objective law, nature cannot create such a species.

    I know you will say that it is some kind of bullshit hell, it is the world of the soul, and I cannot measure it, but do you believe that the earth is square, friend? That violates the law of gravitation, it is simply impossible.

    The image of the "hungry ghost" in Buddhism is that the stomach is large and the throat is very thin, and the "hungry ghost" has a huge greed for food, but because of the small throat, it can never be satisfied, so the hungry ghost is always in a state of hunger, and the pain is very great.

    In Buddhism, hungry ghosts express hunger and thirst, with a big belly indicating a huge need, and a thin throat indicating an unattainable desire.

    Hungry ghosts are karma, and if you see how the hungry people in Africa are not like hungry ghosts who are suffering from hunger, this can be a kind of real visible hungry ghosts in the world. The Hungry Ghost Dao also refers to the psychological state of sentient beings, where desires are inflated but never satisfied, just like miserable hungry ghosts.

    The reason why Guanyin Bodhisattva turned into a great benevolent saint and gave them happiness is because the suffering of hungry ghosts is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and it is not something that ordinary people can endure and endure. Like the hungry ghosts of the outer barriers, who have not even heard the name of the water for hundreds of years, and when they see the green trees that are full of fruits, because of their karma, the trees have dried up and turned into firewood, and when they see a lot of delicious food and drink, and when they see a lot of delicious food and drink, and when they are used, they come closer, but they become guarded by many people with weapons, driving them away, and beating them, which is very painful. The internal cataract hungry ghost has a throat as thin as a needle's eye, and his abdomen is as large as a basin, and he is always on an empty stomach, once he drinks a little water, he will feel the unbearable pain of burning in his inner abdomen at night.

    The body of the special obstacle hungry ghost is parasitic with many little hungry ghosts gnawing at him.

    At this point, we each visualize, not to mention feeling the pain, even if we don't eat a meal or eat a little late, we don't drink water for a day, or we have a fever in our stomach, and we have a little lice or ants bite us, how will we feel? But normal people can solve it quickly by themselves, and these hungry ghosts can't solve it at all due to their karma, and even Venerable Murolou Duo couldn't find water when he traveled to the hungry ghost realm at that time, and only called for a great bodhisattva like Guanyin Bodhisattva with a vast pure wish, so that the great gods could send down a luscious diet for them to satisfy them. Some hungry ghosts have been annoying others for hundreds of years and cannot be liberated, but once they hear the holy name of Guanyin Bodhisattva, they can be liberated immediately.

    It can be seen that whenever and wherever we give water and food, or even spit out a mouthful of water, or accidentally drop food, we must be accustomed to reciting the holy name of Guanyin or the mantra for blessings. If you pass by a deserted place, grass, or woods, you should recite the holy name of Guanyin or the six-character mantra. Inadvertently, it will benefit a lot of hungry ghosts. Inheriting the great mercy of Guanyin, there is no doubt that hungry ghosts and others will gain benefits.

    No matter how good the food falls on the ground, you should not pick it up and eat it yourself, but you should pronounce "Hum Mani Horn Mei Yin" and apply it to the hungry ghost by the stove or in the corner of the wall. In ordinary monasteries, every evening class is used to give food to hungry ghosts. Most of the southern urban and rural areas have such customs:

    At night, be silent, give something at the intersection or a fixed place, and recite some Guanyin name. These are just the things that we can do in our ordinary ways. And Guanyin Bodhisattva not only gave them food and drink, but also gave them a wonderful celestial body, so that they could leave the path of hungry ghosts and be reborn in the Elysian World.

    This is the kindness of Guanyin Bodhisattva to the hungry ghosts.
