This is laughable! Buddha was not Hindu, he didn't achieve enlightenment through the practice of the Vedas, sorry. He practiced with a group of individuals referred to as ascetics. He developed his practice only after having seen the error in their ways of life-threatening self deprivation. His philosophy was innovative, and the path he followed to enlightenment was very unique. It was through the REJECTION of the religions and practices of the day that he found the profound path.

I agree with you. The Buddha was not Hindu "per se", but he lived in the area where the hindu and vedic teachers were. The Buddha rejected the religion, but did practice the techniques he was shown from it. Anyhow, the Kuji-In manras come from an Indra ritual.

Ninja this and Ninja that... Why does the Kuji-in have to be all about the NINJA?

The fact of matter is that the Kuji-in was not a BLACK ART for killing! Its was a Healing Art use by the Samurai!

@mikeakens I find a lot more references to the ninja too. Naruto won't help any! lolz

So it's safe to say that the right handed kuji in(middle finger) is based on the(spiritual) right hemisphere of the brain, and left hand(index) is of the left/logical brain?

Sorry Mr Lepine, but you are not a Buddhist Bishop and what you are teaching is not Vajrayana. This is a sad spectacle: you are misleading honest people with this material. This is not mikkyo, this is not Shingon, it is not Tendai: it is "pretendai."

@prabhasattva ___ finnaly one who understand who was  "Lord Buddha" and "He" was not a Yogi ...

Kuji-In actually came from Taoism. You don't seem to know much about the role of mantra in Buddhism.

MahaVajra is a good teacher of meditative practices but is not enlightened - he is awakened though and that's really what's important when you're looking for people to share an awakened life with. On the other hand it'd be important not to be too attracted to what he offers though. I've been practicing Kuji In and Neidan for around 3 years now - and meditation for longer and can testament to the effectiveness of Kuji In. Very powerful - don't start if you don't want to finish though.

Some of your commentary my friend is not incord with scripture ...whether you're right or wrong is arguable...the Buddha left the hindu caste system and reformed the spirituality in a different direction. He also did not conform to hindu systems.
