Mokenren saw that his mother suffered much; he grieved exceedingly because of her pain, and he filled a bowl with choicest food and sent it to her. He saw her try to eat; but each time that she tried to lift the food to her lips it would change into fire and burning embers, so that she could not eat. Then Mokenren asked the Teacher what he could do to relieve his mother from pain.
And the Teacher made answer: 'On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, feed the ghosts of the great priests of all countries. And Mokenren, having done so, saw that his mother was freed from the state of gaki, and that she was dancing for joy. This is the origin also of the dances called Bono-dori, which are danced on the third night of the Festival of the Dead throughout Japan.
