SECTION
ONE
Rules
for
Drawing
Kanji
The
kanji
are
composed
of
a
succession
of
lines,
traditionally
drawn
with
a
paint
brush.
The
order
of
these
lines
is
very
important
in
the
drawing
of
the
kanji
which
obeys
many
specific
rules.
Below
are
the
main
guidelines:
1
–
THE
SIMPLE
LINE
The
horizontal
lines
are
drawn
from
left
to
right
:
The
vertical
lines
are
drawn
from
the
top
to
bottom:
The
continuous
lines
can
have
various
aspects
:
2
–
THE
SEQUENCES
A
kanji
is
drawn
from
top
to
bottom
:
And
from
left
to
right
:
The
middle
line
must
be
drawn
before
the
lateral,
or
horizontal
lines
:
www.Mahajrya.org 5
Exceptions
:
In
the
first
example
below,
the
kanji
for
heart
is
abbreviated,
and
the
two
short
lines
are
drawn
before
the
longer
middle
line.
When
two
lines
cross
each
other,
the
horizontal
line
is
drawn
first:
Exceptions
:
Below
are
examples
of
the
exception
to
the
rule
that
the
horizontal
line
be
drawn
before
the
vertical
line.
In
some
kanji,
the
horizontal
or
diagonal
line
is
drawn
before
the
vertical
line.
www.Mahajrya.org 6
When
different
diagonal
lines
cross
each
other,
the
line
that
starts
from
the
top
right
and
ends
at
the
bottom
left
is
drawn
first:
The
vertical
splitting,
or
dividing
line
is
drawn
last
:
Exception:
If
the
vertical
splitting
line
does
not
extend
from
the
top
or
from
the
bottom,
it
is
drawn
after
the
top
and
before
the
bottom.
Draw
the
top
of
the
kanji,
draw
the
vertical
line
next,
and
last
draw
the
bottom
lines
:
里
重
The
horizontal
splitting,
or
dividing
line
is
drawn
last
in
these
examples
:
www.Mahajrya.org 7
Draw
the
vertical
line
first
and
then
draw
the
horizontal
line
from
left
to
right
:
The
lines
that
include
other
elements
of
the
kanji
are
drawn
first.
For
example,
draw
the
outside
of
the
box,
and
then
draw
the
middle
symbol;
last,
close
the
box
with
a
bottom
line:
Exception
:
The
open
box
is
the
exception.

drawn
last:
www.Mahajrya.org 8
In
cases
where
the
sequence
uses
short
and
diagonal
lines,
the
short
lines
are
drawn
first,
and
they
are
drawn
toward
the
longer
lines,
even
though
they
go
from
bottom
to
top:
闘
Strokes: 18
This
kanji
has

structures

門
+

豆.
This
radical
belongs
to
the
group
Kamae,
which
encloses
characters.

The
following
information
about
Empowering
the
Hands
and
Symbols
was
adapted
from
Maha
Vajra’s
book,
Kuji-‐Kiri
and
Majutsu:
Sacred
Art
of
the
Oriental
Mage.

SECTION
TWO
Empowering
the
Hands
Before
we
empower
kanji,
we
empower
the
hands.
Empower
your
right
hand
by
making
the
sword
mudra
(holding
ring
and
small
finger
with
the
thumb,
extending
the
index
and
major).
For
2
minutes,
visualize
your
hand
glowing
with
white
light,
condensing
powerful
energy
with
intensity
while
repeating
the
Japanese
words:
Riyoku,
Te,
Se-‐i,
and
visualizing
the
Kanji
symbols
in
your
hand.
Next,
weave
your
right
hand
in
front
of
you,
drawing
the
kanji
symbols
of
Power,
Hand
and
Energy
(provided
below),
and
imagine
that
you
are
actually
drawing
these
symbols
into
the
matrix
of
the
universe.
Support
the
existence
of
these
symbols
in
the
spiritual
plane
in
front
of
you
when
you
draw
them
by
visualizing
that
the
symbols
glow
with
light
when
you
draw
them
one
over
the
other.
Do
not
draw
the
Kuji-‐Kiri
grid
yet.
Simply
draw
these
symbols
in
front
of
you.
The
next
pages
show
you
how
to
draw
them.
Right
before
you
are
done
drawing
one
symbol
say
the
corresponding
Japanese
word
aloud.
Once
the
3
symbols
are
drawn,
stand
still
again
with
your
right
hand
on
your
lap
or
in
front
of
you,
and
focus
again
on
the
building
up
of
energies
in
your
hand.
Do
this
2
minute
empowerment
of
focus
and
drawing
for
at
least
3
repetitions,
but
you
can
do
even
more
if
you
wish
to
enhance
the
empowerment.
Repeat
this
empowerment
everyday
for
9
straight
days.
You
may
empower
the
left
hand
each
day
after
you
have
empowered
the
right.
Learn
the
first
symbol
of
Power,
力.
Then,
when
you
are
ready,
learn
the
symbol
of
Hand,手.
Last,
learn
the
symbol
of
Energy,
精.
This
symbol
of
Energy
represents
the
spirit
force
Energy,
and
not
the
physical
strength
type
of
energy;
there
is
something
“tangible”
to
the
sense
of
this
Energy
symbol,
but
it
remains
spiritual
Energy.

This kanji is one of 32 pure radicals. This radical, 力, chikara, is the one, the Power.
The
pictograph
above
showing
an
arm
with
bulging
biceps
became
simplified
to
pushing
down,
symbolizing
strength,
effort,
force.
Pictographs
help
us
remember
kanji
and
the
concept
behind
the
kanji.
When
meditating
on
Riyoku,
dwell
on
the
power
in
the
universe.
For
this
kanji,
the
mnemonic
is:
Hand
pressing
down
with
strength.
A
mnemonic
is
a
simple
phrase
used
as
an
aid
in
remembering.

The kanji, Te, is one of 32 pure radicals. Te is often altered or shortened.
This
radical,
手,
téhen,
is
the
one
of
the
hand.
It
is
mostly
used
under
its
shortened
form
in
3
lines
扌 .
The
pictograph
above
depicts
a
semi-‐stylized
hand
with
five
fingers
(one
bent),
a
palm,
and
wrist.
When
meditating
on
Te,
think
of
everything
the
word,
manipulate,
means.
We
can
manipulate
things,
objects,
and
energies.
Always
try
to
grasp
the
higher
meaning
of
a
concept,
and
a
wider
range
of
application.
In
this
case,
a
hand
can
be
a
physical
hand,
and
the
philosophical
hand
of
destiny,
or
even
the
hand
of
Buddha
(or
God),
if
you
allow
yourself
to
be
of
a
spiritual
nature.
Mnemonic:
Hand
with
fingers
spread.

This
kanji
has
two
structures
:
the
radical
米 shown
on
the
left
side
+
Radical
Phonetic
青
shown
on
the
right
side
of
the
kanji.
The
first
part
of
this
kanji,
the
key
or
radical,
米,
koméhen,
means
rice.
This
radical
is
shown
on
the
left
of
the
kanji.
The
radical
phonetic,
青,
SEI,
means
blue
or
green,
and
signifies
the
green
of
a
plant
reflected
in
the
water
of
a
well.
This
definition
evokes
images
of
vitality
and
energy,
and
connotations
of
fresh
and
pure.
This
leads
by
extension
to
refine,
going
into
detail
by
removing
the
tiniest
impurity.
Spirit
is
an
associated
meaning
with
purity,
leading
by
extension
to
vitality.
When
meditating
Se-‐i,
let
your
Higher
Self
reveal
to
you
what
it
means
while
you
are
contemplating
the
possibilities
of
the
higher
nature
of
the
concept.
Empowerment
is
done
through
meditation
and
contemplation,
and
not
through
intellectualization.
Mnemonic
:
Refined
green
rice
fills
one
with
spirit.
