Culture's That Being Distorted

The Hungry Ghost Festival is celebrated by the Chinese Buddhist throughout the world on the seventh month of the Chinese Lunar Calendar. A myth and a folklore, where the Hell Gate will be open for the whole month to allow the hungry spirits to roam the Earth looking for foods. All the wandering souls must return before the Gate was closed at the end of the seventh month.

As a Buddhist myself, I took it as a teaching of good values should be the essence, not religion per se. I find it kinda funny how the Buddhist celebrate it nowadays. An observance prayer, offering plenty of foods, fruits and money to appease the lost wandering Souls, in order not to wreak havoc on Earth to have a better world.

Celebrated with such an epicurean heterogeneous au naturel showgirls, extol with erotic obsequious languages. Inviting plenty of who's are who's to show who are mightier and transmogrify this festival as a mafioso fiefdom. An observance to appease the Hungry Souls or to the Frisky Hungry audiences ?

Broooom!! Broooom !!, "Zhao Gongming @ Cai Shen" or "God of Prosperity" arriving in a gold plated Lamborghini to be put up to the highest bidders at Cristie's Auctions House. Rich Kawan kawan, brother, heng tai, it's leeeloooonnnng  time for "Cai Shen". ANYMORE BIDDER'S ? IssssssH, SORRY AHHH, the Poor, Unfortunate, God Fearing Peasants, don't have a "God of Prosperity" to pray  AH ?

Don't you think it's funny, desecrating the true values in the Hungry Ghost Festival ?
