Kuji Goshin Hou

by James Clum
Kuji Goshin Hou is a derivative work based partly on a Japanese text about the mysterious
gestures and syllables uttered by priests, samurai and ninja of old Japan for personal protection.
This book provides an exquisitely clear and detailed translation of these Esoteric Buddhist rituals.
The original kanji and hiragana is presented and translated for you in English. Included are many
photographs explaining both the deities and mudra presented inside. There is also a special
section in which one learns more about each of the deities presented in the book, and is guided
through a visualization exercise geared towards adapting these methods into your own personal
meditation practice.
this book is almost what you wanna see when it comes to what would "look like" in say the
bujinkan type system of kuji it gives you back grounds and other facts than say a mikkyo book
would..it could be a stand alone book but you should NEVER train the kuji with out some sort of
guidance this book could help coupled with a lesson or two ... its mystical subject and a religious
one...right off as with most teachers say...learn Buddhism if you really want to get into this...its
hard line there. or is it?theres a book called shingon which i also own its very deep and not
looking at it from a practical art like mr clum does here...shingon is for those who are ready to
make that religious step. ahhhh.. religion...could be here all day, but hes not its a good buy. his
other book on gyokko ryu and togakure ryu is great as well... worth the price for those that like to
get a little more info.
