Definition Of:

hungry ghost

Buddhism Dictionary
These ghosts are a state of existence, a type of rebirth. This state stems from negative karma . The ghosts live between the earth and hell. They are called hungry because they have large stomachs and tiny mouths. This is one of the six states of existence .
