So technology has finally able to capture the existence of "Hungry Ghosts" - that are normally seen by people with "divine eyes" - especially those with Jhana Samadhi.Reply
So Buddhism is not a fairy tale - it does articulate the existence of 10 Realms of Existence - where "Hungry Ghosts" is one of the 3 lower realm.

31 Realms of Existence, not only 10 realms .
In Buddhism, both hells and heavens are not eternal, there is not any eternal realm .

The main properties of each 10 Realms :-
The Lowest realm - Hell realm - fixed and focus on Extreme Hatred and Anger as its predominant properties – that characterise cruelty, savageness.
The Lowest 9th realm – Hungry Ghosts realm - fixed and focus on Extreme Greed or Attachment to Sensual Objects as its predominant properties.
The Lowest 8th realm – Animals realm - fixed and focus on Ignorance as its predominant properties is only food and environment for survival with no higher level knowledge of Spiritual Cultivation.
The 7th realm – Asura realm (the realm of the Titans) - fixed and focus on Extreme Jealousy to Tavatimsa Heavenly beings as its predominant properties – where the Asura possess and intelligent and abilities beyond the Human Beings ---- many people called them ET.
The Middle Path realm – the Human Realm – has a hybrid mix of Anger, Greed and Ignorance of the Universal Law, the 3 inherent evil roots of sentinent beings – but possess the ability for Spiritual Cultvation as Human also has 3 inherent wholesome roots of sentinent beings that make up of No-Self, Compassion and Panna Wisdom. Of all the 6 realms sentinent beings, Human Being possess the best attributes to attain Enlightenment.
The higher realm of Heavenly Beings – the 1st Heavenly realm beings – known as the Sensual Desire Heavenly Beings – possess the attributes of maximum enjoyment of sensual desires in the Heavenly Realm.
The next higher realm of Heavenly Beings – the Form Heavenly realm beings – possess the properties of Rupa Jhana Samadhi – where consciousness are totally transformed as opposed to all sensual desires beings from Hell realms to the 1st Heavenly realms of sensual desires. All consciousness in this realms – for the 1st time have become Supramundane consciousness and are no longer mundane sensual desires. At this realms, “1-pointedness Equanimity” the like of a Black Hole – is the predominant consciousness properties – a very Blissful state.
The Highest Heavenly Realm – is the Formless Heavenly Realm – where for the 1st time, form properties have been transformed into formless properties – where the predominant attributes are subtle supramundane consciousness – where all supramundane coarse consciousness cease. For the 1st time – the “1-pointedness Equanimity” or “Black Hole” – will be expand to cover the entire spectrum of the Universe – being the “Formless properties”. But birth, live, sickness and demise – still are the cycle of rebirth for this Highest Heavenly Realm – just like the rest of the realm because Nirvana of No-Birth, No-Death and No-Karma has still not been attained.
The next realm – is the Nirvana Realm – where for the 1st time - No-Birth, No-Death and No-Karma has still been attained – and this realm is known as the Arahat – who learn the Dharma and practise the Dharma from the Buddhas or Bodhisattvas.
The next highest Nirvana Realm – is the Pacekka Buddha who attain Enlightenment by himself without learning from the Buddhas or Bodhisattvas but refrain from walking the Mahayana path of liberating others. Thus the Arahat and Pacekka Buddha are known as Theravda Path – the Smaller Dharma Wheel.
The next higher Nirvana Realm – is the Bodhisattva realm – who attain Enlightenment but postpone Nirvana to make Bodhi Vows to liberate sentinent beings – the beginning of Mahayana Path.
The last and final Nirvana Realm – is the Buddha Realm – who have attained 3 Times Perfection and the complete fulfilment of the Mahayana Bodhi Vows.

The Dharma Wheel on the left is the graphical phenonmenon of the Form to Formless Heavenly Realm to Nirvana Realm - the true properties of transformation of mundane consciousness to Supramundane consciousness.
Pse note, Supramundane consciousness or properties start from Form Heavenly realm onwards - that liken the "Black Hole" - the core of hub of the Dharma Wheel - that 1st transform from mundane to supramundane.
Understand the phenonmenon?

And all the above - encompass the full spectrum complex and profound Universal Law or Universal Truth of Lives in the Samsara Universe (form) and the Supramundane Spiritual Universe (formless).

I think you are mixing Buddhism with Taoism.
ricky l • RemoveUniversal Law is about Mind and Matter.
Where Mind - is the 5 Mental Aggregates.
Where Matter - is the 4 Great Elements.
Where the middle and lower realms - are realms of sensual desires - known as attributes of mundane consciousness.
Where the higher realm - are realms of non-sensual desires - known as attributes of supramundane consciousness.
There are no concept of Religions - whether Buddhism, Taoism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, No-Religion - it is just the attributes of Universal Law.
Thus don't understand why people fight over the difference of Religions - where the Unifying Points - should be the One and Only Universal Law - that encompass the complex and profound Samsara Universe and the Formless Realms.
