Day of Dead: Buddhist hungry ghost stories

How to do the Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos): "Sugar Skull/La Catrina Makeup Tutorial"

Ancient Buddhist ghost stories from the Petavatthu (Tales of Hungry Ghosts)

(FOOLESJOURNEY) This collection of ancient South Asian ghost (peta, preta) stories combines several passages from an early Buddhist text called the Peta-vatthu – meaning “Ghost Stories," or more specifically, "Tales of Hungry Ghosts." It was likely written after 300 BCE, and is deeply rooted in ancient (especially pre-Buddhist, Vedic, Hindu) concepts of disembodied souls (subtle body beings) trapped between hellish and human planes, in the realm of hungry ghosts, doomed to experience torture and consequences of greedy, hateful, and deluded behavior in life, creating what are more simply referred to as “hungry ghosts.”
