"Many Buddhists do not advocate burning gold and silver, silver ingots, paper money and other things, thinking that this is a superstition in folk beliefs. Buddhism disapproves of this behavior. However, nothing is absolute. Everything always has a good side and a bad side. Regardless of whether burning these things has any influence on ancestors? Are there any benefits? Whether it will be received; But I must tell you that this is a kind of food for ghosts, and burning is useful. Fireworks ghosts can smoke flowers and have a full meal while burning paper money, which makes them feel fully satisfied mentally and physically. From the practice of Bodhisattva, this is a kind of charity.
Master! Why does that woman (ghost) smell fire? Isn't she afraid of being burned? She is a ghost. How can fire work on her? Then what is she smelling? She is having breakfast. This heavy smoker eats fire, and lives on the incense burned by Yang people during sacrifices and the fireworks produced by Yuanbao. Ah! There are such ghosts! This kind is very common in ghost roads and will be encountered at any time in the street. Master! She's gone! Xintong knows about us! "~ Chang Guanyin master
