QUOTE(nachtsider @ Aug 28 2017, 07:56 AM) No, they merely partake of the essence of the food. How they partake the essence?They don't move or process sensory input the way living people do.  When offering food, do we need to open the packaging or peel the skin for fruits like pineapples? |

QUOTE(putra23 @ Aug 28 2017, 11:01 AM) How they partake the essence? They absorb it somewhat similar to how we inhale scents.When offering food, do we need to open the packaging or peel the skin for fruits like pineapples? Expose the food to open air wherever possible. |

Bro Nacht,
With the 15th of the 7th month close at hand, do offerings made to the Good Brothers cultivate merit (in the Buddhist sense) in any way to the offeror? What would be a good way to pay respects/ commemorate this month? |

The flag and its markings indicates that whatever it is placed near is okay for the ghosts to partake of.Did you spend all your time at night visiting all the sites? I am amazed at your energy level.
