The Hungry Ghost Realm

TRADITIONAL IMAGERY

In the traditional imagery, hungry ghosts are beings who—due to their accumulation of negative karma—are stuck in a place where they crave voraciously, but can never, ever get satisfaction. They are portrayed as starving wraiths with tiny mouths, thin necks, and very large bellies, all of which symbolizes their insatiable hunger. The hungry ghost realm can be seen as a metaphor for an addictive personality. In this mindset we are ceaselessly plagued by hunger and thirst but can never take in enough of what we crave to satisfy our desire.
