In Chinese mythology, the celestial realm, the human realm, and the nether realm are the three main planes that make up the world. Among them, the nether world is the most mysterious and the least understood. Today we will understand how the Ten Halls of Yama In myths and legends manage thousands of souls and rule over the eighteen layers of hell.
Note: In ancient times, very few people recorded this, one because of fear, and one because of not wanting to accept what to face after death. But why do these myths and legends appear? It is because in the ancient society, the law was not perfect, the implementation was not in place, and many rules needed to be consciously observed by people, but in the face of some huge interests, where would they take care of so much? At this time, there will be faith in the heart, there will be reverence, and only then will there be scruples when doing bad things...
In the new era, we are not feudal or superstitious, analyze myths and legends, and understand traditional culture.
Under the jurisdiction of emperor Fengdu, in addition to the five ghost emperors, there are also ten halls of Yama, let's first see what are all of them. (Old rules, draw a guide for your reference)
1. The First Temple, King Qin Guang
After passing through the Ecstasy Hall, the souls came to the huge Capital City, and entered the Capital City not to see the Emperor of the Capital (Xiao Ming could not see the Great Supervisor of the Underworld), but to go to the first hall of the Hall of the King of Yama and wait for the fall. This first hall was occupied by King Qin Guang, and on the right side of the main hall, there was a high platform, which was the Evil Mirror Platform. As soon as the souls went up to the station, they knew whether they were good or bad before they died.
People of great goodness do not need to go through other halls, and can be led by King Qin Guang. Those who have achieved two halves of merit are sent directly to the tenth temple to judge which reincarnation they should enter, mark it with supreme mana, and after passing the yin life in the nether realm, they can be reborn. The perpetrator of evil shall, depending on the degree of evil and the type of evil, be escorted to one of the second and ninth temples for punishment and acceptance.
2. The kings of Yama in the second to ninth temples
The Yama kings of the second to ninth halls are: the Song Emperor, the Five Senses King, the Yan Luo King, the Bian Cheng King, the Qin Shan King, the City King, and the Pingping King. Respectively, they are in charge: Living Great Hell, Black Rope Great Hell, Heda Hell, Calling Great Hell, Shouting Great Hell, Hot Annoyance Great Hell, Great Heat Great Hell, Fengdu Iron Net (A Nose) Great Hell.
They correspond to the eighteen levels of Buddhism' hells: Tongue Pulling Hell, Scissor Hell, Iron Tree Hell, Evil Mirror Hell, Steamer Hell, Copper Pillar Hell, Knife Mountain Hell, Iceberg Hell, Oil Pot Hell, Cow Pit Hell, Stone Pressure Hell, Mortar Hell, Blood Pool Hell, Death Hell, Punishment Hell, Volcano Hell, Stone Grinding Hell, Knife Saw Hell.
Under each Yama king is a group of ghost kings, and the ghost kings are in turn commanding the ghosts and are responsible for administering the major hells.
3. The Tenth Temple Rotates the King
In addition to being sent directly from the first temple, souls who have been able to reincarnate after suffering in each layer of hell will come here, wait for the markers, and when they enter the reincarnation, these marks will not only determine which way you will enter. And you can also decide to be born after reincarnation, in the dark, with your own arrangements.
These marked souls can not see, after being marked, they will enter the real nether world, the yang world has a yang life, the yin world has a yin life, the souls in the nether world after the completion of the yin life will not be reincarnated, so that reincarnation.
After entering the cycle of reincarnation, it is a new beginning, and what you do in this life is also the key to open the door to the next life.
Chinese culture is broad and profound, and there are still many waiting for us to discover and excavate, to understand with a scientific attitude, to inherit this culture, in order to be culturally confident. For us ordinary people, keeping life optimistic and positive, not doing evil and not being vain, and living out of ourselves is the greatest responsibility for life.
