  • During the Hungry Ghost Festival, paper money is burned all around the island, along with other paper items representing anything from clothes and toiletries to cars and bungalows. But did you know, to avoid copyright infringement, the makers of these items will make subtle changes to the names of the brands - 'Coca Cola' becomes 'Caca Cola', while '100 Plus' becomes '100 Plas'.

    Have been getting lotsa housing agent leaflet in my letter box. I thought maybe can burn them so the dead can get a representative to buy a home on the other side

    During the Month of the Hungry Ghost, I would go to Buddhist temple to offer prayers that my ancestors would still receive blessings from the Buddha and pray for the hungry ghosts be free from their endless misery.

    If you're not supposed to touch them after they are offered or burned, how is it all cleaned up after the festival?

    his/her comments are all so negative and grossly disrespectful.
    Just like we pity hungry ghosts who wander about lost in our realm looking for food,
    it's best to pity @Dark Gear because he/she is wandering around TH-cam looking for conflict by posting offensive comments

    Ghost is translated as evil spirit. When you burn/offer/pray to them, you are offering yourself to the devil spirit. Foe evil does not bless you. You may get some 'return' temporary by them but your family will sure to encounter quarrel, disharmony, divorce, anger and more. For they come to steal,destroy and to kill

      The court of the Inquisition only judged Catholics, or anyone who claimed to be Catholic, as it was an internal court, designed to check the orthodoxy of the teachings transmitted in the name of the Church. Jews, Muslims, or anyone else were outside the inquisitorial jurisdiction, unless they proclaimed themselves Catholic and taught some doctrine that was not Catholic.
      This is enough to immediately eliminate the idea that the Inquisition had anything to do with the forced imposition of Christianity on all humanity.
      Furthermore, the popular belief that the Inquisition promoted mass murder is incompatible with the current state of historical knowledge.
      The best source for studying the subject are the proceedings of the world congress of historians (the greatest experts on the subject, including Jews and atheists) held in Rome in 1998: Agostino Borromeo, “L'Inquisizione, Atti del Simposio Internazionale, Città del Vaticano , 29-31 Ottobre 1998”, Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, 2003.
      After this Congress, insisting on the “black legend” of mass murder (some even speak of “genocide”) is an abuse of the right to ignorance.
      In fact, in the Inquisition, the alleged heretics were first questioned and then they started a process if the error was persistent, and everything is recorded. Do you really think that in the USSR or communist China people were prosecuted, you idiot?
