smoke offering to appease the pretas. This is a very beneficial
practice that even lay practitioner is encouraged to perform
frequently. Immense merits will be transferred to the
realm of hungry ghost and thus free them from the constant
hunger. May they reborn in the higher realm where Buddha-Dharma
flourish. |
