Hungry Ghost TEAtime
HUNGRY GHOSTS TEAtime Workshop
Recorded on the full moon during the Hungry Ghost Festival of the 癸卯 Yin Water Rabbit Year (August 30th 2023).
A ritual gathering and guided meditation to work with ancestors and ghosts, in service of generating a deeper sense of resolution in our lives and our lineages.
Autumn offers us the opportunity to reflect on our activities from spring and summer to refine our goals and values. This is also the time of the first harvest, when we gather with others to "harvest" the fruits of what we sowed earlier this year. It is not a time to start new endeavors (be productive) but a time to share, celebrate, be satiated and grateful. The ghosts of incompletion and insatiability begin to haunt us when we are not able to welcome the inevitable arrival of yin.
This is a recording of an interactive ritual space that includes a talk and a guided meditation using SunSiMiao’s Ghost Points and Buddhist Tonglen meditation. The group altar building activity at the beginning of the session is not included in the recording. Participants’ identity and faces have also been removed from the recording.
