Kuji-Kiri : Nine Hand Seals

Japanese Spellcasting Tradition

Kuji-Kiri ( ) means Nine symbolic cuts. It is a technique that belongs to the
esoteric Buddhist tradition. From the outside it seems to consist in dra!ing nine lines in
the "orm o" a grid then dra!ing a symbol on the grid. In "act it is the setting in #lace o"
nine energy structures that once acti$ated can em#o!er a conce#t re#resented by the
dra!n symbol o$er the grid.
In other !ords the nine lines that !e dra! in Kuji-Kiri are nine energy conce#ts that !e
lay do!n on a sur"ace or in the air. %his grid is em#o!ered !hen the #erson !ho dra!s the
grid has acti$ated the nine #o!ers in his consciousness. &t this #oint the dra!n grid
becomes a re#resentation o" the matri' o" the !orld into !hich you can summon another
conce#tual energy.
& Kuji-Kiri user is sometimes called a majutsushi !hich translates as magician or
conjurer. ma ( #ure) jutsu ( art) shi ( user. %hus user o" the #ure art. *sually
the Kuji-Kiri users are e'#erienced mon+s or #riests in the ,i++yo (esoteric) Buddhist traditions such as -hingon %en-.a/ or
-hugendo. But there is su""icient corres#ondence !ith the %aoist !ays to suggest that it came to 0a#an along !ith 1hinese
Buddhists !ho carried the in"luence o" %aoist !ays. No!adays it is mostly #o#ular because o" Ninjitsu but ninjas are not the only
ones using Kuji-Kiri.

%o better understand the #rocess !e !ill #ro$ide an
e'am#le. First the majutsushi dra!s a grid o" nine
lines "ollo!ing a s#eci"ic order !hile simultaneously
in$o+ing the nine #o!ers that they re#resent. %his
sets in #lace the energy structures that !ill interact
!ith the matri' o" the !orld. First line 5IN is dra!n
"rom le"t to right second line K34 is dra!n "rom to#
to bottom. %hen the third line is dra!n "rom le"t to
right and the "ourth "rom to# to bottom until the nine
lines are dra!n. %his requires a bit o" #ractice !ith a
#en and #a#er to get the #ro#ortions right !hen
sim#ly !ea$ing !ith the "ingers.
4nce the grid is dra!n the user !ill dra! a symbol
o$er the grid. %his symbol must also ha$e been
#re$iously em#o!ered. 6et7s say in this case that the
symbol o" health is used. 8hile the user is dra!ing
setting in #lace ne! energy structures he also recites
the mantras or "ormulations associated !ith each
conce#t !hile his mind is absorbed in #ure
consciousness. I" this Kuji-Kiri grid and symbol is
dra!n on a !ound it !ill heal "aster. %he am#litude o"
the e""ect de#ends on the e'#erience and
em#o!erment o" the majutsushi.
4nce the majutsushi has em#o!ered the nine symbols to create the grid he can
a"ter!ards em#o!er di""erent symbols and conce#tual energy #atterns to #roduce
$arious e""ects. 9ach time a Kuji-Kiri user em#o!ers a ne! symbol he gains a ne!
#o!er. 9m#o!ering a ne! symbol is em#o!ering a com#lete energy conce#t and it
requires a bit o" time.
%he grid and symbol can be dra!n !ith the inde' and major "ingers o" the hand or
!ith a #encil and in+. 8e most o"ten dra! the grid and symbol !ith the right hand
but it can sometimes be use"ul to dra! !ith the le"t hand on some rare occasions.
Be"ore you can dra! Kuji-Kiri !ith your hand you must em#o!er the s!ord mudra
!ith your right hand.
-o "ar !e ha$e learned that to #er"orm e""icient Kuji-Kiri !e must "irst2
9m#o!er the nine Kuji-In energy conce#ts that ma+e u# the grid
9m#o!er the hand into a magical dra!ing tool
9m#o!er s#eci"ic energy conce#ts re#resented by symbols
%he majutsushi must also ha$e some e'#erience in meditation and handling un-
!orded conce#ts originating in #ure thought. %his #art is un-e'#lainable. It comes
naturally !ith #ractice and e'#erience. %he more you do it the more you

-hinto2 In this +uji-in #ractice the -hinto Buddhists are re"erring to &materasu a "eminine ;oddess. &materasu is described as the
;oddess "rom !hich all light emanates and is also o"ten re"erred to as the sun goddess because o" her !armth and com#assion "or
the #eo#le !ho !orshi##ed her) an inter#retation o" FlightF or FheatF as #assion or #urity. -he emits lightning into the body to gi$e
it li"e "orce. -he is li+e the light o" creation.
Buddhists2 ?ere the Buddhists #ray Bishamonten guardian o" the north and thus o" material things. From the traditional 0a#anese
Buddhism #oint o" $ie! since the time o" samurais and great !arriors he is said to be the god o" !ar and !arriors. Bishamonten is
!earing an armor symboli@ing the #hysical shell o$er his true sel". ?e holds a s#ear in one hand a symbol o" the -#irit that
#enetrates the #hysical !orld and a #agoda in the other hand li+e a tem#le !here !isdom resides another symbol o" our #hysical
body.
?indu2 ,ost o" the Kuji-In #rocess in$o+es the hindu ;od Indra !ho is the only King o" hea$ens holding thunderbolts. %he !ord
s!aha can be translated as glory homage or salutations but is used mostly !hen doing #rosternations o""ering sacri"ices. %hus
this mantra is also a #ledge o" sacri"ice o""ered to the ;od King o" ?ea$en Indra +no! as the one !ho holds thunderbolts. %he
?indu tend to inter#ret each !ord !ith all their #ossible meanings according to their religious structure there"ore a "e! -ans+rit
!ords become much longer #hrases so that they can transmit all the meaning at once. %his -ans+rit mantra could mean in ?indu
terms2 4m (?oly 8ord) I o""er sacri"ice by the name o" the ;od !ho carries Gajra in his hands i.e. 6ord Indra.
%rans"ormational a##roach2 8e contem#late the #o!er"ul "orce o" creation. 8e contem#late the light that comes "rom the hea$ens
do!n into the earth to gi$e it li"e and mo$ement. %his 6ight is both "eminine and masculine. &t this #oint !e celebrate the coming
o" the -#irit into the human body.
In our tradition 4m $ajramaanatayaa -!ahaN
,eans2 4 ;od o" the .i$ine %hunderbolt ;lory
5emember that it is also an inter#reted translation since the -ans+rit !ords are lin+ed to many meanings and #ossible
signi"ications. ?ere !e ha$e translated $ajraman as 6ight made tangible. 8e use the sans+rit s!aha to #roclaim the glory o" ;od
(or uni$ersal conce#t o" your choice) and to #ay homage.
6i"e entering the body can be symboli@ed as a lighting bolt that stri+es stone li+e a hea$enly s#ar+ +ic+-starting the mechanism o"
li"e in a #hysical host. 4n a so"ter tone !e could imagine a ray o" light that heats u# the earth and #rogressi$ely ma+e it to become
ali$e. %his birthing o" the -#irit into the human body is o" a "eminine energy li+e any +ind o" birthing. 3et it is #o!er"ul enough to
create mo$ement !here there !as none. It doesn7t ha$e to be as $iolent as stri+ing lightning but the symbol is still as #o!er"ul as
it !as meant to be.
I" !e loo+u# a -ans+rit dictionaries $ajraman !ill mean diamond but !e still ha$e to analy@e the #articles one by one. %he
-ans+rit !ord $ajraman is a symbol o" the #urest light o" the $ajra made #hysical by the syllable man thus it !as the name
a##lied to a diamond.
%he $ajra is this !onder"ul hea$enly light that ta+es many sha#es de#ending on the other terms that surrounds it. Follo!ed by the
syllable man to ma+e it #hysical and the !ord taya to ma+e it "eminine it is the ?ea$enly ,other7s light o" creation. 8ith this
#rayer !e in$o+e the light that made us to be ali$e !hich is still and !ill remain the source o" our human li"e. .o not imagine that
a "eminine light !ould mean it is !ea+. & mother gi$ing birth is $ery #o!er"ul.
8hen !e "irst entered li"e as a -#irit into a human body !e became ali$e !ithout any +ind o" judgment o" oursel$es thus !ithout
"ear hesitation or doubt. 4ur #rogressi$e human conditioning mostly thru un#leasant childhood e'#eriences brought us to be
more than sim#ly care"ul not to get hurt but to "ear and doubt oursel$es. No! gro!nu# !e belie$e !e ha$e conquered most o"
these "ears but it is not true. %here are "ears !e !ould not e$en admit to oursel$es so dee# are their roots in our subconscious
memories.
8e are not only tal+ing about those cases o" di""icult childhoods. 9$en in a ha##y childhood may a child bum# his head and not li+e
it and react !ith anger against the #ain or !ith guilt to!ards the lac+ o" agility bloc+ing some #art o" the subconscious mind !ith
sel"-hatred "or not being #er"ectly stable already. %here can be hundreds o" reasons !hy !e de"ined oursel$es !ith #oor sel"-trust
e$en in our "irst li"e e'#eriences. No! you can imagine the results o" a di""icult childhood added to that.
%he goal o" the 5IN technique is to rede"ine the conce#t o" trust and a##ly it to oursel$es as sel"-trust and "rom that gro! it to
become "aith in li"e. 8hen the conce#t o" "aith is remo$ed "rom the dogmatic teachings o" religion it is a higher "orm o" sel" trust
+no!ing that "rom the #oint o" $ie! o" the -#irit e$erything !ill al!ays be "ine.
&lthough your human body can be injured and your human e'#erience can sometimes be #ain"ul your -#irit is totally una""ected.
9'#eriencing human e'istence as an obser$er as much as a #artici#ant it remains beyond the reach o" #ossible harm. 5IN is the
a!a+ening o" such s#iritual memory and it ta+es "ull reach as you #rogress to!ards the 59%-* technique !here you may e$en
remember the immortality and eternal e'istence o" your -#irit. &t this #oint e$erything you !ill e'#erience !ill be seen in yet a
much broader #ers#ecti$e.
