< p>The so-called doing good deeds and accumulating virtue means accumulating merit by doing good deeds in order to obtain blessings. Then Yin means not showing up, which can be understood as not being known by others.What the old people call "accumulating yin virtue" is actually a more superstitious term, but its more important meaning is to persuade people to do good.
Yinde refers to doing good deeds without leaving a name, not being known by others, not for oneself, and also refers to good deeds done secretly. Yin virtue is the hidden virtue, which is the opposite of Yang virtue's public good deeds. Yin virtue will be rewarded by heaven, and yang virtue will be famous in the world. People who accumulate Yin virtue do good deeds and are not known by people, but "no one sees their cultivation, but God knows their intentions", and God will bless them; people who accumulate Yang virtue do good deeds and are known by people, and they will be praised by people. And enjoys a great reputation. Therefore, thinking is more beneficial than Yang, and Yin virtue has immeasurable merit and blessings.
The ancients believed that after death, people will go to the underworld, where everything you have done while alive is recorded. If you have done many good deeds while alive, when you go to the underworld, ten The King of Hell will naturally reward you according to your merits, so that you will have a good pregnancy and your descendants will be blessed. On the contrary, if you have committed all kinds of evil while you are alive, you will definitely be in the underworld, ranging from a mountain of knives to a pan of oil, to eighteen levels of hell. You will be subjected to various tortures to make you pay off all the sins you committed while you were alive. Reincarnation is a talent that cannot be recognized in most cases. It is good to fall into the animal realm and live as a cow or a horse in the next life. However, it would be a tragedy to become a dung beetle.
This is of course a superstitious statement. When a person dies, he or she dies. Where does the King of Hell come from? It is only through this statement that we can warn the world to do more good deeds while alive to have peace of mind.
So you must not understand the word Yin as the underworld. Chinese people say that doing good deeds without leaving a name, doing good deeds quietly, without seeking rewards, or seeking fame or fortune, is Yin virtue. Although there is no god or ghost holding a pen to record what you do, good deeds will be rewarded with good deeds, and evil deeds will be rewarded with evil deeds. Yin virtue is a process of accumulation over time. As you do, you will be rewarded in unexpected ways, and even It will be accumulated in your descendants, so that they can also enjoy the blessings you have gained through cultivation.
