Lunar Seventh Month



The gates of hell are opened. That signals the beginning of the Lunar Seventh Month or Zhong Yuan Jie aka Hungry Ghost Festival. On the lighter side, souls from the other dimension are given a lunar month of annual leave to wander the earth. The Buddhist and Toaist believe that we should host them to a good feast and entertainment together with giving them material needs. In return, we will be blessed with good luck, health and fortune. For me, it's Om Mani Padme Hum.
