QUOTE(nachtsider @ Aug 23 2017, 05:38 PM) The Monkey King is a Heavenly god and therefore has zero involvement with Hell related matters like the Hungry Ghost Festival. 👍👍👍This is the Black Prince, a captain of the Hellish armies - the Yin aspect of Na Zha.    |

What is the proper handling after prayers for the food, fruits and drinks offered?
Is it a taboo for humans to consume after offering to the ghosts? This post has been edited by putra23: Aug 24 2017, 02:16 PM |

Is it a taboo for humans to consume after offering to the ghosts? If flies, cockroaches or other pests haven't settled on the food, or if it hasn't been contaminated in any other way, waste not - you can eat it. |

Tua Li Ya Pek being honoured.
Note the miniature coffins in the second photo, which Hell deities may use as resting places.   |
