    Avant et après tout entrainement de kendo, c’est une routine pour tout le monde que de s’asseoir en seiza avec les mains posées l’une dans l’autre, et de méditer (mokusō). Pourtant, peu de personnes savent que cette posture de méditation a pour origines le hokkai-jōin (dhyani mudrâ). Un mudrâ est un signe de pouvoir exprimé à travers le corps et particulièrement avec les mains, dans le bouddhisme et l’hindouisme. Un jour, on m’a demandé s’il était correct d’avoir plutôt la main gauche ou plutôt la main droite en haut pendant mokusō, et pourquoi. A mon grand embarrât, je dois dire que je fus mis là en difficulté, alors même que l’on devrait au moins savoir la base théorique de cette pratique particulière.
