Old people often advise people to "accumulate virtue". What is the "virtue" of traditional culture?

There are two ways to accumulate virtue, one is to accumulate yang virtue, and the other is to accumulate yin virtue. As the saying goes, good and evil are rewarded, and often accumulating virtue can bring blessings to yourself and your family in your later life. Always accumulate virtue, you can go to heaven after death, and vote for a good family in the next life.

In the past, many superstitious people kindly advised others to stop doing evil and accumulate some virtue for themselves, otherwise they would go to hell after death. We often hear this kind of similar words, and we can't help thinking, what is the virtue that people often say?

According to the explanation of this word, we can know that the virtue of Yin is a kind of "hidden virtue", which is contrary to Yang De's openness and kindness. For example, some people like to do good deeds in a big way, while others like to do good deeds in a low-key way, all of which are good deeds, but in different forms.

As the saying goes, whatever you plant and do will be rewarded. According to the interpretation of "Four Seasons from Fan", Yin De does good without being known, and God bless him; On the other hand, Yang De is famous for doing good deeds to let people know and get praise from the masses.

From this point of view, it seems that God also likes to reward those who keep a low profile, because in ancient times, God represented a mysterious force, and most people thought that God's blessing was much more valuable than the so-called mass base, so everyone liked to accumulate virtue for themselves.

There are many people who like to accumulate virtue in history, and most people do. They have worked hard all their lives, are kind-hearted and often do good deeds. So, is there any kind of people in history who have done all the bad things and done good things to accumulate virtue? There really is!

For example, Dong Zhuo, the great adulterer in the Three Kingdoms period, is rarely known. When Dong Zhuo was young, whenever he found anything unfair, he bravely fought to get rid of violence and safeguard justice. Bad officials and bullies even killed a bunch of them, which made them famous in the land of Hexi Corridor, attracting heroes from all walks of life to vote in succession.

Treacherous court official Qilu in the Tang Dynasty had to raise 3,000 pigs for the royal family because of successive years of famine. Without saying anything, Qilu killed all 3,000 pigs with a wave of his hand and gave them to Zhou Guo to eat, which won the support of the local people.

In fact, there are many such examples in history. For example, some bad people, because of superstition, do a good thing to offset their sins for every bad thing they do. And some people are even more worried that they will be condemned for doing bad things, so they abandon evil and do good.

From this point of view, although some things in ancient times were superstitious, they were not useless. When morality and law can't bind some people, perhaps superstitious things can make these bad guys have scruples, which is also a more positive influence.

1. The so-called hidden virtue is a blessing.

As the saying goes, one life has two fortunes, three feng shui, four virtues and five studies, and virtue ranks fourth. Personally, people who feel blessed must be virtuous. As the saying goes: if morality is not in place, there will be disaster.

Yin means concealment, closure and silence. Doing good deeds should be accumulated bit by bit, and doing good deeds without expecting anything in return should be done silently. The water will overflow when it is full. Do more good deeds and happiness will come. This is cause and effect.

The so-called virtue accumulation is actually doing good things in secret without asking for anything in return. Accumulated virtue is a kind act from the heart, not for show, not for beauty, nor for self-improvement by helping others, but for helping others sincerely.

Buddhists pay attention to blessings, and the accumulation of "Yin De" will be rewarded by heaven. This is the greatest blessing and will benefit future generations.

2. How can we accumulate virtuous and enjoy happy returns? I'll tell you a story: a businessman bought a house halfway up the mountain with beautiful scenery and a large orchard in front. The businessman spent a lot of money to invite a geomantic gentleman to see geomantic omen at home.

As he approached the door, the businessman saw his wife send a distant relative out, and the businessman stopped in the distance. The husband wondered and casually asked why he didn't continue walking. The businessman replied, "This relative doesn't often come and go on weekdays. He must have met some difficulties when he came to my house today and needed help. I'll go now. He'll be embarrassed to see me. Let's go back when he's gone! " Mr. Wang said nothing.

When relatives left, they went to visit. The businessman suddenly looked up and saw a flock of birds flying in the garden. Then he stopped pushing the door and stood at the door. The gentleman asked, "Why don't you come in when you get to the door?" The businessman said, "The birds in the garden are all startled, so some family-led children must be climbing trees to pick fruits." I pushed the door for fear that the child would fall from the tree and break it. I'd better wait until they finish picking the fruit before going in. After listening to this, Mr. Wang bowed deeply to the businessman and said, "blessed people live in blessed land." People like you who think of others everywhere are blessed no matter where they live. Your daily life has accumulated blessings for yourself and your family, and Feng Shui can't be wrong. "

Also, Li Ka-shing, the richest Chinese, has been in business for decades and has always enjoyed high prestige in the business world. The simplest reason for him to educate his children is that in the face of interests, if he can get seven points, he will get six points, and leave one more for each other, so that cooperation can last for a long time and business can grow bigger and bigger.

The so-called: those who love return love, and those who are blessed are blessed. There are many ways to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, which can be said to be all over our daily life. Whether remembering the benefits of others, helping people in need or helping people in trouble, it is all about doing good and accumulating virtue.

3. Silent kindness as easy as blowing off dust. If you have enough money, you can help poor students to study, accumulate good news for yourself, and don't raise a lover, destroy other people's families and damage other people's virtues.

On my way home at night, I can buy something to go home when I see a vendor. Whoever buys it will buy it. Anyone with good conditions will not get up early to set up a stall.

If you find money or something, do your best to return it to your benefactor. You get impatient when you lose something. Maybe you found somebody else's life-saving money.

If the elderly or children need help, try to contact their families or send them to the local police station to avoid accidents and always do their best.

In short, Ji De is to help her silently. Maybe a glass of water, a bowl of rice, or a little help will bring convenience to people. If you do more good deeds, your blessings will come with time.

Everything goes round and round, and your every move will become the cause and effect of your future. Be a kind-hearted person, accumulate good words and do good deeds, and the blessings will come.

Why do you feel unhappy? Why do you feel tired? Why do you feel bad? Some people have no money to buy a Mercedes-Benz BMW because they envy others, some people are in poor shape, and some people are unhappy because of work, marriage and family. Some people are because their children don't study well or are naughty, while others are because of their relatives. There are thousands of reasons why some people are unhappy in this world because they pay off their car loans and mortgages. In the final analysis, you are unhappy because you don't have enough blessings. People have two banks in this life, one is tangible and the other is intangible. If you accumulate more blessings, you can go smoothly and everything goes well, and you can leave it to future generations. Why are other people's children admitted to Tsinghua Peking University because their ancestors have rich blessings? Why do other people become officials? Because their ancestors accumulated virtue and did good deeds. I advise you to do more good deeds! The best, most effective and quickest way to change your life and increase your blessings is to do good deeds (do one good deed every day), do more good deeds to change your life, and accumulate yin virtues to prolong your life. Being virtuous means doing good deeds, not letting others know, asking for nothing in return, fame and fortune. Looking up three feet, there is a god who has insight into all good and evil in the world. Do more good deeds, accumulate virtue, be kind to others, always do good deeds every day, and accumulate blessings for yourself, your children and your family, which is the right way! [thank you]

Numerology believes that one life has two fortunes, three feng shui, four virtues and five studies. A large part of accumulated virtue is accumulated virtue. Today, Buddhism says more than Taoism, but this is a Taoist vocabulary, which comes from Huainanzi. Xingyang is here to briefly talk about how to accumulate the virtues.

People's virtue in this world will often be rewarded by future generations because of their own evil deeds. Many people worship their ancestors for protection every year, but they don't want to do something good for their parents, grandparents in this world. So how can you make your ancestors pay attention to you? Therefore, the virtue of ancestors will bless future generations, but rarely will they bless unfilial sons! This kind of virtue is the simplest and most accessible. As long as you are filial, you can get the virtue accumulated by your ancestors.

Besides, don't do anything to hurt Yin De. "Guan Sheng Di Jun Shi Jue Zhen Jing" says: "The mortal heart is God, and God is the heart; Innocent heart, innocent god; If you cheat your heart, you will cheat God. " No matter how bad things are hidden, if they don't happen in the world, they will also damage your virtue, reduce your blessings and affect your future generations.

In Guan Jun Jing, it is also believed that people can respect the heavens and the earth and the gods by accumulating yin virtues; Serve ancestors and be filial to parents; Abide by the king's law, respect the teacher and emphasize the road; Love brothers and trust friends; Clans, and neighbors; Don't be a couple, teach the children. Then you can make a fresh start; Full of goodwill, evil thoughts do not exist; All good deeds are pursued with confidence; Although people don't see, God has already heard; Add happiness and prolong life, add children and benefit grandchildren; Disasters eliminate diseases, but disasters do not invade; Xianning people, lucky stars shine high.

The scripture may be a bit heavy, and many people can't do it without evil thoughts, but as long as people are willing to do more good things and less bad things, good things will come naturally.

It is a kind virtue to do good without letting others know and asking for nothing in return. Being virtuous is the best and most selfless morality. From the heart, but nothing. It thinks that doing good is what you should do. Although others don't know, God knows that it will also carve thin funeral words on its face. This kind of person is the noblest! Do good deeds without seeking fame, profit, return or even letting anyone know!

There is a god three feet above the head, and there is no loss in the sky. It's in the book of good and evil, and God knows it very well!

Everything goes round and round, and your every move will become the cause and effect of your future. To be a man, we should accumulate good thoughts, words and virtues bit by bit, and do good deeds without expecting anything in return, and pay silently. The water will overflow when it is full. Do more good deeds and happiness will come. This is cause and effect.

Accumulated virtue is a kind act from the heart, not for show, not for beauty, nor for self-improvement by helping others, but for helping others sincerely. The so-called "one life, two luck, three feng shui, four virtues and five studies". Indra means not being known, not doing good things for yourself, or doing good things that others don't know. It's called Inde, so it pays well.

Why is merit good? Because according to the law of balance, if you give others a corresponding good return, you will definitely get a corresponding return, then the "accumulated virtue" integral will be cleared this time. If you don't get the corresponding good return, there will be points on your "Jide" scoreboard, which will be reflected in yourself or people or things closely related to you, which is equivalent to giving you the corresponding good return, and vice versa. The universe follows the principle of balance.

It is immoral to repay a good deed and want to stay in the name. Doing good without asking for anything in return is the heart of public morality and the heart of reward.

There is an old saying: "Yin Sheng De Man, Five Elements Rush"! Not only complete, but also benefit future generations!

China people pay attention to what goes around comes around, what goes around comes around, what goes around comes around, and what goes around comes around. Therefore, to talk about yin virtue, it is not what will happen after death, nor what will happen to future generations.

This is a simple truth, but what is the underlying reason? In fact, it is a process of building a personal brand.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a noble family in the State of Jin called Luan. Three generations of this family are important ministers of the state of Jin. The owner, Luan Ying, had both ability and political integrity, but was killed by other officials. Why? In advance, it's time to make amends for the fact that Ying Shan failed to reach people and Wu De was far away.

What do you mean, Luan Ying is fine, but he is still young, and his benefits can't spread to everyone, and his grandfather is also very good, but everyone forgets his goodness and won't miss him, but Luan Ying's father is very bad, and everyone has grievances against him. Remember, it's time to repay him.

In ancient times, people's information transmission was slow, and word-of-mouth communication was slow, but in our time, information transmission was very fast, an event could ferment quickly in the network, and a stain might make you lift your head quickly, so this kind of thing, Yinde, is not Yinde, but your own word of mouth.

A person's ability is limited. You need to borrow money most of the time if you want to achieve something. This borrower is not only the so-called noble people, but also many ordinary people, even people with lower status than you. People are not an isolated group. The people you have worked with and the people you know together constitute your social personality.

Whether you get along well or not, whether you can cooperate or not, is your word of mouth and credibility. Although it doesn't have a definite number like your wealth, it also has a limit. Overdraft will pay off. When your reputation is good, you can do many things with it.

If you have a bad personal reputation, strong ability and good career, it may also cause immeasurable losses to you. Joker Xue some time ago, for example, is actually a typical example. In a few days, people collapsed. Now, hundreds of millions of dollars a year are claimed by advertisers, and entertainment programs begin to go offline, which greatly reduces their commercial value.

It is very important to accumulate virtue and build reputation. It is actually a defensive measure and a stop loss. Set a stop loss point for your life in order not to be unsuccessful. It may not be so important when the wind is smooth, but when you hit the bottom, it is a safety net and determines the lower limit of your life. The lower limit cannot be too low.

Old people often advise people to "accumulate virtue", that is, accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and in the future they will join the underworld with less criminal responsibility, cross over quickly and be reincarnated. At the same time, it can accumulate blessings for the next generation of children and grandchildren, and be good at enjoying peace for future generations.

This kind of accumulated virtue is the so-called blessing from the previous generation, and it is also the reason why the previous generation was lucky. Therefore, old people often teach people to do more good deeds and not to commit crimes, so as to save the hell and never live in it. This is the advice that Buddhism uses to guide people to cultivate virtue, to guide people to accumulate more virtue, to suffer less underground, to be reborn quickly, to stay in the house and to cross over. It can also create a prosperous, safe and beautiful destiny for the next generation.

The so-called yin virtue means that when a person dies, he will return to Yin, that is, he will do more good deeds before his death and benefit others. After his death, his soul will have a place, suffer less, have a good home in the afterlife, pave the way for the next generation, and accumulate Yin to make the next generation prosperous and have a way out.

"virtue" has four meanings: one is virtue. Second, the virtue of obscurity. Third, cover the virtues of future generations. Fourth, the virtue of blessing the afterlife. Try to talk about it.

Lao Dezi, also known as Tao Te Ching. What is Tao? Tao is not only the noumenon of the universe, the origin of all things, but also the law and rule of motion. The truth can be known, but it is not necessarily a well-known truth. You can't say it, you can't say it, you can't say it very much. Generally speaking, the chaotic Tao has no shape and image, and people's sense of hearing and seeing is intangible. Empty roads are everywhere.

Virtue is gain. The performance and behavior of Tao in social life is virtue. The Tao is untouchable, and the virtue is visible. In Oracle Bone Inscriptions, the word "De" has a line on the left, an eye on the right and a vertical line on it. It means that virtue is visible and can be seen in action. In other words, it is also a virtue to behave correctly and look at people.

In seal script, a "heart" is added under the eyes of Germans. True virtue must be based on sincerity.

The Tao Te Ching says, "Tao gives birth to animals." It is believed that Tao gives birth to all things and educates all things. Later Taoism had nothing to do with Laozi, but since Laozi was respected as a gentleman, of course, morality should also be studied. Taoist Taiping Jing expounds the moral theory, including:

Tao is yang, and virtue is yin. It can be seen that virtue is "yin de" and "yin de" is virtue.

The virtue of obscurity has a virtue that everyone can see in public, and it is called "Yangshan".

There is a kind of virtue, which is carried out in obscurity and unknown circumstances, and it is called "Yin De". For example, Ge Hong's Bao Puzi said, "Be kind to things, forgive yourself and others, enjoy the blessings of others, and care about their sufferings." A good mind is enough to call it "Yin De". Secretly "rushing people to save lives" is also "yin de"

"Yin De", also known as "Yin Zhi". Taoism has a "Wen Li Di Yin Jun Wen", which holds that evil spirits are good and unknown and can be blessed by the emperor.

Shade the virtues of future generations. Taoism believes that doing good things in secret can benefit future generations if people don't know and God knows. Corresponding to the virtue of yin is evil. Many conspiracies lead to evil.

Chen Ping said in Historical Records of the Prime Minister's Family: "I seek more, which is forbidden by Taoism. My world is ruined and gone. I can't get up again, so I am more evil. " Chen Ping passed this country on to his great-grandson, who said that he died of sin. Liu Hou Sean, another important counselor of Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, only passed the title to his son, which was cancelled ten years after Sean's death, and later generations no longer added the title. Hong Mai in the Northern Song Dynasty examined this matter in Rong Zhai's Essays, and thought that Sean had done a few things that were not authentic, which should be:

When Liu Bang attacked Guan Guan, Qin Shoujiang saw that the general trend was not good and wanted to make peace, so he attacked Xianyang in the west together. Liu bang thinks it's ok. Qin Jun slackened off. Sean offered a plan: "It is better to crack down on it because of its slackness." He led his troops to defeat Qin Jun.

Liu bang and Xiang Yu agreed to divide the world, "cutting the gap and the west are Han, and the gap and the east are Chu." Wang Xiang belongs to Hanwang's parents and wife. "Xiang Yu returned to the East, and Liu Bang was ready to lead him to the West. At this time, Sean advised Liu Bang not to "leave the mountain to raise a tiger", so the ink on the peace treaty was not dry and the war reignited. Behind it was the siege of Gaixia, and Xiang Yu finally committed suicide in Wujiang River.

Bai Juyi's poem "Reading History" said, "Yin's virtue must be reported, and Yin's disaster is not empty. Although personnel can be ignored, heaven is hard to bully. "

The virtue of blessing the afterlife, our local religion only says that people die in ghosts. Buddhism was introduced, and its doctrine said that ghosts can be reincarnated as human beings. In this sense, this person's virtue in this life can be blessed in the afterlife.

It is useless to accumulate virtue, so be sincere. It is useless if one side is good and the other is evil. Lin Zexu has an article "Ten Useless", which can enlighten people:

Yinde theory is related to the theory of induction between heaven and man, also known as Yinde. Article 3 of every under the temptation says, "What is Yin and Yang? Any good man is well known. This is good for Yang. People don't know what to do. It is a virtue. " At the same time, he said, "What goes around comes around. Yangshan enjoys a world reputation. Fame is also blessed. Celebrities are taboo in creation. The world is famous but not famous. There are many strange disasters. "

Yin Wen, a Taoist, explained that virtue means that ordinary people don't have to show themselves through vigorous scenes, but they can get retribution if they are kind-hearted and start from bit by bit of good deeds. Of course, this retribution is the answer from heaven and the result of kindness. Stay close to yourself and stay away from your children and grandchildren.

I ching said, "Where there is a good family, there is Qing Yu". Qing Yu not only refers to himself, but also refers to being able to benefit future generations. Sima Guang once said in "Family Instructions" that "children may not be able to keep their money if they leave it; Storing books for future generations may not be able to read them; It is better to accumulate yin and virtue in the dark, thinking that future generations have a long-term plan. "

How to accumulate virtue? There are about ten ways pointed out in Four Seasons from Fan: one is to be kind to others; Second, love and respect; The third is the beauty of adults; The fourth is to persuade people to be good; The fifth is to save lives; The sixth is to build Italy; Seventh, give up wealth for happiness; Eight is the law to protect rights; Nine is to respect the elders; Ten is to cherish things and life.
