​Are Hungry Ghosts Real?

​A 30-Minute Halloween Learning Journey

​Skip the jump scares. This Halloween, step into something different. 👻

​Hungry ghosts appear in stories across Asia, but who are they really? In Buddhist teachings, they are not monsters, but beings trapped by endless craving and miserliness — always wanting, never satisfied.

​Follow Yama, the keeper of the underworld, on a guided journey through the six realms of existence. Discover why hungry ghosts suffer, what causes their suffering, and how the practice of the ten good deeds offers a path towards a better rebirth.

​Along the way, you may discover that the story is less about ghosts than about us.
