Are Ghosts Real? Why Fear Ghosts? The Spirit World in Buddhism

The Buddhist perspective on spirits and the afterlife is examined. The concept of "hungry ghosts" (petas) is discussed as beings experiencing suffering due to past actions, not as supernatural entities. The thirty-one planes of existence are explained as states of consciousness shaped by karma. The Buddhist view on life after death is considered, emphasizing the continuous stream of consciousness rather than a permanent soul. The connection between our minds and our perception of the spiritual realm is analyzed, along with how attachment leads to suffering for both the living and the departed. Buddhist practices for changing our relationship with death, helping the deceased, and finding freedom from fear are presented.
