Segaki – Festival of the Hungry Ghosts

 
 

Segaki – Festival of the Hungry Ghosts
Sunday October 30

During our annual Segaki ceremony we make offerings to the hungry ghosts, both without and within, unlocking their inability to receive nourishment, as well as nourishing ourselves. We also read the names of those close to us who have passed away between last year's ceremony and this year's, not because they have become gaki, but because the liberation we offer extends to all beings, to the myriad spirits of the three worlds.
