Hi there, dear friends 
This 07 August, 2013 marks the beginning of the month long Chinese 7th Month Of The Hungry Ghosts Festival. According to Chinese traditional beliefs, the gates of Hell will open and connect to the human realm, permitting ghosts to be released to roam among the living.
During this period, some people will make it a point not stay out too late for fear of “bumping” into these spirits. On the fourteenth day of the lunar 7th month, come evening time, the Chinese would make offerings of candles, joss sticks, cooked food, fruits and some Hell money to the wandering souls and spirits to appease them.
Other people would participate in merit generating spiritual practices for their departed ancestors at temples. 
My family would take part in Master atan’s Dhealing Bird Release Ceremony (BRC) for ===>
1) BRC for Ancestors
2) BRC for Departed Relatives & Friends
3) BRC for Gui Ren (Helpful People)
I have copied his message from Dhealing Forum below for your information.
If you are interested in having Master atan perform the BRCs for your Ancestors for their blessings over your family for Good Luck, you can order the BRCs from HERE or at Master atan’s WEBSITE.
With best wishes,

Welcome to Dhealing Special Bird Releasing Ceremony (BRC) for the Dead with getting rid of Xiao Ren (Vile people or Troublemakers) for and inviting Gui Ren ( Helpful people ) to you and your family – for Ancestors, Departed Friends and Departed Relatives.
This ceremony can be performed at any time during the year. However, the 7th month of the Chinese calender is considered to be a very good month to perform this ceremony, for it will bring the most benefits to the living and dead. ( the 7th month is from 7th August to 4th September 2013 )
This BRC in the 7th month will come with a free Ancestor Prayer Ceremony. This unique Ceremony will be performed by Master atan, can and will appease the dead and make them happy. The Prayer Ceremony can also remove charms, spells and bad spirits for those who join in the BRC.
For this year, I had added the BRC for Gui Ren (Helpful People) – it had benefited many in the past.
The BRC will be performed from 8th August to 4th September 2013. The last day to join the above Ceremony is 4th September 2013
In Feng Shui, this BRC is a very important technique for it can remedy and balance the Yin chi. It also can remedy and balance the Ying and Yang of the house and those who join this ceremony.
