The Hungry Ghost Realm: A Buddhist Teaching of Hope in Addiction Suffering

All channel income from October 31-November 30, 2021 will be donated to To Write Love On Her Arms to help the Hungry Ghosts around us every day. Thank you for supporting an organization that helps those who are struggling. We each have a Hungry Ghost inside of us; if you or someone you love is struggling, please reach out to a professional. Many great organizations, including TWLOHA are filled with people trained and willing to help. The Realm of Hungry Ghosts is a Buddhist afterlife marked by suffering and dependency. The journey of one of the Buddha's disciples, Maudgalyayana, to this realm provides a first step for how to break the vicious cycles of addiction and trauma. Mythos & Logos are two ancient words that can be roughly translated as “Story & Meaning.” Support the channel by subscribing, liking, and commenting to join the conversation!
