  • Summary

  • In this episode of "Mythical Marvels," we explored the afterlife as depicted in Chinese mythology, focusing on the realm of Diyu, or the underworld. Diyu is governed by Yan Wang and the ten Yama Kings, who judge and punish souls based on their earthly actions. Key themes include reincarnation, karma, and spiritual purification. We also discussed Meng Po, the Lady of Forgetfulness, and the Western Paradise, a realm of bliss overseen by Buddha Amitabha. These tales emphasize justice, moral integrity, and the cyclical nature of life and death in Chinese culture.
