The Ten Incredible Characters (十大文字秘法)

The ten incredible characters are used primarily by Taoism, Japanese Mantrayana and Ninjitsu for calming a practitioner’s mind before making a major decision or performing a mission critical task. The characters are:

天

Used when seeking help from the VIPs

Used when a person is sailing

龍

Used when a person wishes to cross waters: lakes, rivers or seas etc.

Used when a person wishes to go out during storms

虎

Used when a person enters jungle or wilderness

Used when a person is facing with robbers or wild animals

王

Used when a person needs to face government officials or court cases

Used when a person needs to face with evil people

命

Used when one doubts foods and drinks offered to him/her

Used when one faces with enemies or in debate

勝

Used when one is going to war

Used when making business deals

口是

Used when one wishes to visit a sick person

Used when one is expected to visit evil places

大

Used when one is expected to visit doubtful (danger) places

Used when one is visiting the seriously ill

水

Used when one is visiting unfamiliar persons

Used when one is paying homage to spirits

日

Used when one is attending festive celebrations

Used when one is visiting the sick

In order to harness the power of the above characters, a man/woman should use his/her right/left sword mudra to draw the character onto his/her left/right palm while holding his/her breathes. 

The power of the characters will manifest if a practitioner can perform the ritual calmly and confidently. Of course, a practitioner must first be familiarized with how to write those characters first. So needless to say, constant practise is necessary before they are being used in real situation. 

I have personally tried some of the characters and they will do what has been said as above. If you try on ad hoc basis; then the characters may or may not function.
