186 - Making Peace with Ghosts: Unresolved Karma and the Sejiki (Segaki) Festival
The annual Buddhist ceremony of "feeding the hungry ghosts," or Sejiki, offers rich mythological imagery as a teaching. Metaphorically, a "ghost" is anything painful or difficult which continues to haunt the present although its causes lie in the past. Sejiki and its surrounding mythology encourages us to make peace with our ghosts: We acknowledge them, set appropriate boundaries, make an offering, and hope that, over time, the ghosts will be able to partake of some healing and liberating Dharma.
