O-Segaki (Ritual of Feeding the Hungry Ghosts)

O-SEGAKI (Ritual of Feeding the Hungry Ghosts)

November 3rd

Right around Halloween every year, Buddha Eye Temple observes the very lively and ancient ceremony of Feeding the Hungry Ghosts. We will hold Sunday morning Zazen as usual, which will be followed by a brief Dharma Talk by our Abbott. The ceremony itself includes chanting and an opportunity for all to participate in making offerings of incense. The morning will conclude with a festive lunch prepared by the temple. 

We encourage you to bring friends and family to experience O-Segaki, one of the most important festivals in the Buddhist calendar!
