Hungry Ghosts are often depicted as weak beings with large bloated stomachs and tiny pinhole throats. Whenever they try to eat food, it turns into excrement or spikes, and water turns into fire. This is the mental state of neurotic desire, seeking more than an object can give, or something different than the object can give. Green Buddha offers real food and drink to the hungry ghosts, which they can consume and feel satisfied, and begin to discriminate what provides true happiness and satisfaction.
