Paying hefty sums to buy yourselves Suffering of worries; and even more to make good these worries, when you can stay calm and cool and go do research.
I am sharing the following and hope everyone go seek answers by yourself with cool calm clear mind and don't get cheated by self proclaimed masters; mediums; geomancers; ....
Hungry Ghosts (Pretas) are pitable things. They are wasted creatures with huge, empty stomachs. Their necks are too thin to allow food to pass. So, they are constantly hungry.
Greed and jealousy lead to rebirth as a Hungry Ghost. The Hungry Ghost Realm often, but not always, is depicted between the Asura Realm and the Hell Realm. It is thought the karma of their lives was not quite bad enough for a rebirth in the Hell Realm but not good enough for the Asura Realm.
Psychologically, Hungry Ghosts are associated with addictions, compulsions and obsessions. People who have everything but always want more may be Hungry Ghosts.
"Hungry ghost" is one of the six modes of existence (see Six Realms). Hungry ghosts are pitiable creatures with huge, empty stomachs. They have pinhole mouths, and their necks are so thin they cannot swallow, so they remain hungry. Beings are reborn as hungry ghosts because of their greed, envy and jealousy.
The Sanskrit word for "hungry ghost" is "preta," which means "departed one."
Many schools of Buddhism leave food offerings on altars for hungry ghosts. In the summer there are hungry ghost festivals throughout Asia that feature food and entertainment for the hungry ghosts.
My humble opinion:
For one that died of cancer, they normally will go into Hell Realm. Guru said people that had killed many, normally suffer from cancer.
Therefore, it is beneficial to help them SAY SORRY and NEUTRALISE the Karmic Negatives.
Those that took refuge in Guru and the bardo delivery sadhana has neutralizing karmic negatives sutras and mantras.
Done well, or effectively with Great Sincerity, the deceased "bardo body" can be delivered to Pureland. Even those that are not that "effective", with refuge in Guru and the Triple Gems; one normally do not drop into the 3 Lower Realms of Samsara.
Dear all, please look inwards and not outwards for answers!
Being cheated and frightened is not too palatable, correct?
For the group of students that asked about Hungry Ghostst Realm, if you would only have stay cool calm and clear, and let your fingers go search on line for relevant information and match to your sightings; you would save yourselves lots of suffering and seeking help everywhere!
What if I did not asked details but just proceed to do another bardo delivery for your relative again?
Hahaha! I don't like money? Should I just perform the relevant ceremonies and prayers as requested or recommended; collect the huge fees charged and keep quiet about what I know to be Untrue?
If I do that, I am not a True Yogi!!!
I am one that has Renounce Sentient Home / 出家; can I ignore my vows and go for Sentient materials by lying or withholding the Truths? :)
O! Maybe I am very lazy and don't like to do ceremonies and prayers? Hehehe!
Cheers all.
