Metabee177 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 In the anime Naruto, the hand seals used are supposed to channel "chakra" energy to use ninja magic or Jutsu. But, Did you know hand seals come from Hinduism and especially Buddhism?! In Buddhism, hand seals are called mudra and channel energy depending on what you want. Such as, using mudra for meditative practice or for health purposes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeref Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 I have read this before it's quite interesting. I like how many anime artist derive things from real life situations or real life things such as mentioned from your previous post about DBZ yoga and meditating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah me too, stuff like this is interesting to learn. I didn't know the hand signs were based on Buddhism so that's cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
