What do you mean by virtue?

Yinde means: open your heart and keep your mouth shut.

Generally speaking, accumulating virtue means giving without reading newspapers and giving up without seeking fame. People who accumulate yin and virtue, that is, what is said in the Diamond Sutra, are not born with people, me, all beings and those who live long, so the blessings can be spread all over the four dimensions. Goodwin said: "It is better to build a reputation than to plant virtue." It is from the accumulation of virtue that Yuan Lefan changed the so-called "fate" a little bit; Dou Yujun, who taught five sons in Saint Amethyst, namely Dou Yanshan, also cultivated five talented sons through virtue.

Keeping precepts and practicing good deeds, not remembering them in your heart, not born in your mouth, not born in your work, and rejoicing in seeing good deeds are all accumulated virtues. Yin De, also known as "Yin Zhi", was thought by ancient people to be born from the heart. Those who often accumulate Yin De have an amiable face, and now there will be Yin Zhiwen. Therefore, those who want to be sages might as well start by being kind to others.

The origin of the word elicitation

If you know Buddhism, you will know that in fact, there is no word "Yin De" in official Buddhist materials, only "Fu" and "Merit" are used twice, and "Yin De" is a common folk saying in Taiwan Province Province, which usually means that one can protect future generations by doing good deeds, and also suggests that more people "accumulate Yin De" to protect future generations; With the spread of culture, "Yin De" slowly spread to the mainland and was recognized.

Merit means that a person has accumulated spiritual liberation resources because of practice, which can eliminate karma, increase his return to self-nature, and achieve the virtue of Buddha.

Fu refers to doing common secular good deeds, such as donating money to help the poor, which can increase the blessings for future life and can be reincarnated into better humanity or heaven, but it will still be reincarnated and cannot be freed.
