Talk:Kuji-in

message: anime otaku are KILLING wikipedia, vandalising any articles with anything to do with asian culture, ESPECIally Japan, and insisting that everything has something to do with Sailor Moon.
STOP IT! If you MUST insert a sailor moon, schoolgirl soldier, or princess twinkle reference, please put it in a trivia section. --Sunawave 05:09, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

message: User Fornitm added the long mantra to two of the Kuji.  Hopefully they'll add one for each of the kuji, since I can't seem to find those anywhere.  They'd be very helpful to the article--even moreso than the illustrations. Nagakura shin8 01:10, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

message: In the first seal, Rin, the picture shows the hands together with the index fingers raised and pressed together. The description, and other sources on Kujiin.com state that the middle finger should be raised, and "Extending the index represents the affirmation of power, as a decree of the self. This version of the RIN mudra will be more frequently used by martial artists and people who wish to build a stronger willpower." Perhaps a picture for the normal seal should be added, aswell as an explanation of the alternative seal. SlaserX 16:53, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

message: How is Kuji-in pronounced? - The 4th Snake 19:10, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: IPA: kɯʥi-iɴ. Essentially, ku-zhi-in, with the N being sort of unpronounced, like a final N in French. Nagakura shin8 (talk) 06:53, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pronunciaion 

message: User 210.128.243.2 changed the Pyo to Byo.  I'm assuming he/she/(it? they?) read Ashida Kim's lame little books on being a pseudo-Scientologist Television Ninja...and not being able to pronounce Japanese.  Unlike Korean (which doesn't pronounce it as a B either, but it is closer than Japanese), Japanese has fairly sharply expelled P sounds: the syllable is Pyou.  Nagakura shin8 (talk) 20:33, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Pyou and Byou are both correct. In fact, Japanese wikipedia describes Byou. http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%B9%9D%E5%AD%97. Usually Japanese kanji has multiple way of reading. (But I agree Ashida Kim's books are full of fabrications.).--Harada 3nosuke (talk) 04:50, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it becomes Byou in the sequence (like how "kiri" becomes "giri" in "kesagiri") but is Pyou, or perhaps Hyou, on its own. Nagakura shin8 (talk) 18:17, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

message: "In the anime Sailor Moon, Rei used the Kuji-in front of a fire to see visions"
I assume that it should read:
"In the anime Sailor Moon, Rei used the Kuji-in in front of a fire to see visions"
So I will change it. WookMuff (talk) 12:12, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  missing "in" 

message: In the first sentence under "History" you wrote : ".......a poem written by Ge Hong c.280-340 ADE..." I have serched the internet and have not found an answer to what ADE means or when that is! We have lots of new words to identify a way to know the time in history. AD is one. BCE is one. BC is one and CE is another. If ADE should mean Anno Domini Era - that does not make sense because a year can not be an era. Maybe you typed wrong? and actually meant BCE. Anyway - would you please change the text into the right expression, because I have now spent 43 minutes trying to find out when "280-340 ADE" is. There are lots of people asking if anyone knows what ADE stands for, and nobody has any answers. Thank you, regards, Marina  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.93.45.175 (talk) 23:10, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
