Dos during Vietnam Ghost Month
The unique custom of Vietnam Ghost Month has been observed for many years. But not all Vietnamese adhere to these traditions. Some Buddhists and businesspeople in Ho Chi Minh City's Chinatown take this notion seriously.
There is a list of activities that should and should not be done during the month in order to have serenity and happiness in addition to the worshipping ceremonies. These are the things you should do in ghost month.
- On any day of the month, give food to the spirits to show your appreciation.
- Consume vegetarian fare in order to avoid animal murder, develop morality, and ward off evil spirits.
- Avoid arguments
- Protect people from threats.
- Visit the cemeteries or temples where your relatives are buried
According to Buddhism, Vietnam Ghost Month is a time for kids to thank their parents and ancestors, including those who have passed away. But some of these practices were regionally exclusive to different parts of Vietnam.
