What if the scariest night of the year became the most profound?

Step into the misty mountain monasteries and quiet villages of Maple Hollow, where the veil between worlds is thin, and every shadow holds a lesson. Buddhist Halloween flips the script on traditional frights, transforming ghosts, goblins, and jack-o'-lanterns into guides for inner peace, compassion, and awareness.

Forget running from monsters-this book teaches you how to sit with them.

In this enchanting collection, you'll meet:

• Pabu, the Smallest Pumpkin, who must face the carving knife to discover that true light comes only after letting go of what you cling to.

• Sen, the Restless Ghost, trapped by regret until a young monk shows him how to find peace by simply remembering his breath.

• A Weary Vampire and a Fierce Werewolf who learn that the deepest sustenance and the greatest control are found not in taking, but in the practice of non-harming.

• The Skeleton in the Zendo, who doesn't come to frighten, but to offer the ultimate, silent lesson on the beauty and freedom of Impermanence.

Through twenty gentle, yet profound, tales, you will learn that the greatest wisdom is often found in the most unexpected places-from a haunted tea kettle to the whispered secrets of falling leaves. Buddhist Halloween is an invitation to transform your fear into mindfulness, your regret into forgiveness, and your shadows into a source of enduring compassion.

Dare to look within and discover the light that even the darkest night cannot extinguish.
