Hungry Ghost (Seventh Month) Festival

[winston]

Today is the 15th day ( no wonder, I cant sleep ! ).

As mentioned, for the Buddhists, today is supposedly the only day of the year, where you can pray, to purify the karma of your ancestors.

There should be some sort of ceremony at a Buddhist Temple near your place.
