About
Yogic Rite of Food Bestowal to Flaming-Mouths
The Yogic Rite of Food Bestowal to Flaming-Mouths (瑜珈焰口法會)
is another special Dharma service in the Grand Hall. It is often conducted at night, with its main aim being to deliver hungry ghosts.
“Flaming Mouth” is another name for hungry ghosts. According to Buddhist teachings, if one is extremely stingy and miserly, refusing to give away even a single hair, as in the Chinese sayings, and is always taking advantage of others, they will be reborn as a hungry ghost, who has substantial appetite yet an esophagus as tiny as a needle. It is difficult for them to consume any food even if there is food supply available. Therefore, they suffer a lot from the burning of the fire of hunger, and with these flames coming out of their mouths.
The Yogic Rite of Food Bestowal to Flaming-Mouths aims to liberate these beings in the hungry ghost realm from severe sufferings, and provide them with Buddhist teachings of compassion and wisdom so that they can be reborn in more fortunate realms of existence.
