LA Chinatown Hungry Ghost Festival

Burning "hell money"!?!

A burnt offering to benefit the deceased

"Hell money" (Chinese 冥鈔, Pinyin míngchāo) is a modernized form of joss paper printed to resemble legal tender bank notes. The notes are not an official form of recognized currency or legal tender [except among greedy ghosts] as their sole intended purpose is to be offered as burnt offerings to the deceased as a solution to resolve their assumed monetary problems in the afterlife. This ritual has been practiced by modern Chinese and across East Asia since the late 19th century, and some Wicca-based pagan traditions in recent years have adopted this practice [1]. Early 20th century examples bore resemblance to minor commercial currency of the type issued by businesses across China until the mid-1940s [2]. The identification of this type of joss paper as "hell bank notes" or "hell money" is largely a Western construct, since these items are simply regarded as yet another form of joss paper (冥幣, 陰司紙, 紙錢, or 金紙) in East Asian cultures and have no special name or status.

The REAL Hungry Ghost Festival is on September 5 or 6, 2025. Here's why

Gods of Death across mythology and folklore | Watch

Are hungry ghosts evil demons? No, those are hellions. Ghosts are the departed.

The dearly departed are still here.

(The Blue Cats by Goody Feed) Many people often confuse the Hungry Ghost Festival with the start of the seventh month in the lunisolar calendar, but they’re not the same.

The seventh month, beginning on August 23, 2025, is known as Ghost Month. During this period, it is believed that the Gates of Hell and Heaven open, allowing restless spirits to enter the human world.

However, not all of these spirits are “hungry ghosts” (petas or pretas). The term usually refers to those who passed away tragically or without proper funerary rituals, while many others are thought to simply visit their loved ones.

Addiction is entrance to Realm of Hungry Ghosts

Tradition holds that offerings are made to appease these spirits, but most people only make offerings on the first day of Ghost Month and then forget.

• Petavatthu: Ancient Hungry Ghost Stories
• Gods of Death across mythology and folklore

As the days pass, the neglected spirits are said to grow hungrier and angrier. By the 15th day, their hunger supposedly reaches its peak, which is why this day is considered the Hungry Ghost Festival.

This explains why offerings on the 15th day are so important. The Hungry Ghost Festival, then, is not the entire month but just that one crucial day.

For 2025, this falls on September 6, the 15th day of Ghost Month. Some groups, particularly Chinese Cantonese-speaking communities, choose to make offerings on the 14th instead.

Are WE in the Hungry Ghost Realm?

Due to karma, we are all reborn

Are ghosts real? Why fear ghosts? The Spirit World in Buddhism

This is partly because the number four sounds like “death” in Cantonese and Mandarin, making the 14th symbolically significant. Another explanation comes from old timekeeping systems where the hours from 11:00 pm to 1:00 am spanned two days, meaning some regarded the 14th as the proper day.

How can I transfer merit to benefit the dead?

The possibility of merit transfer became widely known by the story Mulian Rescues His Mother

.

There are many Buddhist hells.

Transferring a gift of merit (Sanskrit pariṇāmanā, Pali pattidāna or pattānumodanā) is a standard part of Theravada Buddhist spiritual discipline.

The Buddhist practitioner's merit, resulting from wholesome deeds, is transferred to deceased relatives (the grateful dead), to deities (devas), or to ALL sentient beings.

Such a "transfer" is done ritually and mentally, and it is believed that the recipient (the ghost, the deceased person) can often receive this merit, if that recipient rejoices in the meritorious acts of the person doing the transferring.

In Buddhism, merit transfer (sending beneficial karma) is seen as a much better alternative to mourning.

Pouring overflowing water in ceremony

Scholars have discussed how the doctrine of transfer of merit can be reconciled with the individual nature of karma in Buddhism.

[How can it work? Everyone's karma is one's own. The giver generates skillful karma by giving with the intention to give, which gives the recipient the chance to share in that good karma by rejoicing (pattanumo) over such kindness, compassion, and giving (dana).] More: Transfer of merit

Waiting for the worms w/ Bibi Netanyahu

I've been lecturing these idiots in DC for decades

Once upon a time at the Watergate Hotel, PM Bibi Netanyahu got a big welcome to America -- worms, maggots, insects welcoming him with their songs and snacking. A big sign read, "Arrest Netanyahu," too. People (protesters, many of them Jewish) were making noise with excitement for the genocidal and CIA-groomed leader. Then, on top of that, Thomas Massie boycotts Netanyahu's lecturing Congress as he tries to bolster his international standing after the International Court of Justice finds Bibi and Israel GUILTY of an illegal occupation of Gaza, Jerusalem, the West Bank as Palestine and Palestinians have suffered under Israeli prime minister after prime minister for 56 years.

• Ashkenazi Jew and Zionist, now "PM Bibi Netanyahu" is really Ben Malakowsky, Dore reveals below, a man from Philly, USA, who along with his brother were groomed by the CIA for the role of manipulating the Middle East through the spear tip known as "Israel" in ancient Judea.

“Israel is an apartheid state and must leave the West Bank” – UN Court

In a nonbinding opinion, the court has condemned Israel and every other nation complicit in Israeli war crimes and ongoing genocide -- funded and armed by the US, UK, EU (particularly France), and others, like India under PM Narendra Modi.

(Bright Insight) Premiered June 10, 2024: #30 on Trending. This 2024 update on progress to excavate at Göbekli Tepe is genuinely shocking and disturbing.

• Gürcü Tepe: ancient village or settlement (megalithic portal map)

What is underneath?

"We are going to leave further excavations (beyond the 5% so far uncovered) to future generations"?  That's what someone said and what the team intends to do because of Schwab. Attention is being turned to an older neighboring site, another tepe or tell (Karahan Tepe or Gürcü Tepe?) instead. Which billionaire is making this decision? What does Klaus "World Economic Forum" Schwab (not to be confused with the original German archeologist to excavate here Klaus Schmidt) have to do with it? What are they hiding under structures and by planting an orchard of trees on an arid and barren hillside that cannot easily be dug up the more it grows and becomes established? Even ground penetrating radar will have trouble seeing what's underneath. What are they keeping buried, unexcavated, and therefore secret?

• Monsanto Corporation made a Frankenfood out of GMO-corn (maize, which began as a grass), a starch factory with poison pesticides built in. These poisons kill insects by perforating their stomachs. Imagine the surprise when it was found that corn did the same thing to the stomachs of human children, animals, and anything else that eats it. Go organic, and skip fried foods and glyphosate.

The key to restoring the environment is replanting native plant species. Some are keystone species that set up and orchestrate an interdependent ecosystem that fosters native animal species, birds, insects, mammals, reptiles, and fish.

Everything is dependent on the mycelium guided "web" of life underground with its microbes and micronutrients.

Tickets now available in-store only.

Then chlorophyll-utilizing plants, flowers, herbs, grasses, shrubs, lichens, moss, and trees form a coherent unit (ecosystem) making life abundant and resilient according to external circumstances such as ever-changing weather and climate patterns.

Earthquake hits NYC before eclipse (video)

Biblical proportions. What does it mean? Doesn't everyone have to wonder about the convergence of three odd things -- an impending locust infestation (of three species of cicadas about to emerge from the ground in a riot of insectoid sound), a rare full solar eclipse, and now the earth is moving in a part of the country California is routinely mocked for? And Taiwan was just struck by a massive quake out of nowhere, possibly hit by secret Mainland China technology loosed on the East Coast. One has to think the Sky Gods are unhappy and sending signs from above. Or is the military-industrial complex testing new secret weapons, Tesla vibrators that shake buildings, CRISPR on bug DNA, spinning the planet faster or wobbling it so no one can say it's immovable or standing on pillars?

How intense is the new normal?

(ABC News) A 4.8 magnitude earthquake rocked the Northeast USA Friday morning, in what New York Governor Kathy Hochul called "one of the largest earthquakes on the East Coast in the last century."

The earthquake was centered near Whitehouse Station, New Jersey, and shook buildings from New Jersey and New York City and Westchester to Philadelphia and Connecticut. It could be felt as far south as Washington, D.C., and as far north as Maine (on the border with Canada), according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Several weaker aftershocks were also reported in the hours following the initial quake, including one measuring 4.0 magnitude centered near Gladstone, New Jersey, Friday evening, according to preliminary data from the USGS.

• Notable earthquakes felt in the NYC region

There were no reports of injuries or major damage following the initial quake.

"There is a low likelihood of casualties and damage," according to the USGS.

• Northeast quake rattles residents: 'A roller coaster under my house'

"I felt like there was a roller coaster under my house going 1,000 miles an hour," Carol Nicolaidis of Brooklyn, New York, told ABC News. "I first thought pipes were exploding under my house."

"I was sitting in my living room, and I saw the walls shaking; it felt like a wave," she said.

"It felt like a subway train running under the couch," said Rocco Pietropola, who was in an eighth-floor Manhattan apartment.

This was the strongest quake in the greater New York City metro area since 1884, according to the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University.

Con Edison said there are no reports of outages, and the MTA said there was no service disruption to New York City's subway system. More + VIDEO
