PHOR THOR: HUNGRY GHOST FESTIVAL
19.08.2010
Families prepare paper houses on makeshift alters to welcome the souls
of relatives back to earth during the middle of Ghost Month. The Taoist Ghost Month, the seventh Chinese lunar month, is a century's old festival where the guardian of the underworld, in an act of mercy, allow souls to return to earth for one month each year. At this time believers pray and give offerings to the spirits of deceased relatives and friends in hope for good luck and fortunes.Families prepare paper houses on makeshift alters to welcome the souls
Taoists believe that the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month is the birthday of the god of hell. Oblivion is granted to ghosts and spirits chained in hell for his birthday celebration. Therefore, on the first night that month, ghosts and spirits would be released from hell and return to the realm of the living. In this month, especially on the fifteenth night, people would prepare ritualistic food offerings and burn incense for them. On the other hand, Buddhists believe many monks would obtain full understanding of Buddhism on the fifteenth night of the seventh lunar month, and thus those who prepare food offerings to the deceased on this day may obtain longevity and prosperity. Whatever the root of this century-old folk festival is, its main purpose is to release the dead from suffering and to pay homage to ancestors.
