An Imaginary Movie On Water Ghosts’ Origins

Those haunted by the inner demons
of attachment, aversion and delusion,
who do not see or vanquish them
will eventually become outer demons.

There was a horror movie (based on a true story),
about a woman swimming in a lake,
when she got tugged by a ghost,
pulled underwater to be drowned.

It turned out that the ghost
was once also a woman swimming in the lake,
when she got tugged by another ghost,
also pulled underwater to be drowned.

This other ghost was once a woman
who watched a similar movie halfway,
who thought the drowned should drown another,
to free their attachment such a lake as a ghost.

It was the movie watched incompletely,
that created the misconception,
that she will be attached to the lake as a ghost,
which made her really attached as a ghost.

Instead of creating a substitute ghost
for her assumed better rebirth,
she created terrible negative karma
for the worst rebirth in the hells.

Although this movie is imaginary,
it shares the truth that none should haunt and harm any,
even if haunted and harmed by others,
or there will be no end to the vicious cycle of senseless suffering.

Those semi-haunted by the inner demons
of attachment, aversion and delusion,
who do not see or vanquish them completely
might eventually become outer demons’ minions.
