Spirit Festival Reflections (Hungry Ghost Festival)

Spirit Festival Reflections (Hungry Ghost Festival) | Mini-Episode On September 6th, 2025, communities across the world honor the Spirit Festival, also known as the Hungry Ghost Festival. This sacred day marks the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, when the veil between the living and the departed grows thin. Families make offerings of food, incense, and paper gifts, remembering ancestors and extending compassion to wandering souls. In this mini-episode of Still Waters with Li, we reflect on the meaning of this festival, the traditions of remembrance, and the ways we can honor those who came before us. Through a guided Still Waters Pause, you’re invited to light a candle in your heart, offering peace and gratitude to both your loved ones and the forgotten spirits. 🌊 May these reflections help you walk gently during Ghost Month, with reverence for both the seen and unseen currents of life.
