盂蘭歲歲會中元，要藉恩光解倒懸。地下豈真多餓鬼，聖賢設教警頑偏。（當代 | 江沛）

盂蘭節「走供」儀式迎諸神 Welcoming the Deities at Hungry Ghost Festival

佛教僧侶舉行「走供」（金山供佛）儀式，歡迎佛祖、菩薩、諸神前來星期日在橫頭磡福德祠舉行的盂蘭勝會，見證功德法事。

根據傳統的中國習俗，在農曆七月慶祝盂蘭節，亦稱鬼節，當遊魂野鬼流連在街上，基於善心，許多華人社區便在路邊燒紙衣和紙錢來施食，努力安撫這些遊魂。

Buddhist priests perform ceremonies to welcome Buddha and other Deities during the Hungry Ghost (Yulan) Festival celebrations at Fuk Tak Monastery in Wang Tau Hom on Sunday.

The Yulan Festival is celebrated on the seventh lunar month, when restless spirits roam the earth, according to traditional Chinese belief. Many Chinese communities make efforts to appease these transient ghosts.
