The Disciplines of the Kuei-jin are similar in function to the Disciplines of the Kindred. While Kindred Disciplines are often Disciplines in name only, aspiring to master their vampiric nature through raw power, Kuei-jin Disciplines are based on ethical and philosophic capacity. Kuei-jin Disciplines are based on elemental forces corresponding to supernatural Virtues in the Kuei-jin's body and the Chi stored in the vampire's body. Like Western vampires (Kindred/Cainites), Kuei-jin can only achieve a greater level of power by increasing their Dharma (working in a manner similar to generation, but linked to philosophical enlightenment instead of innate or diablerized power). Like with Cainite disciplines, there are a few combination disciplines.
Kuei-jin Disciplines cannot be learned by Kindred or any other shen (supernatural creatures).
