Mudra are symbolic or ritualistic gestures in Hinduism and Buddhism that typically involve the hands.

Japanese [[onmyouji]] are commonly portrayed using mudra when casting spells of various sorts, especially the [[kuji-in]], or nine seals, which are often accompanied by the mantra "rin pyo tou sha kai jin retsu sai zen."
