~hat is RE/K/ (!t~)~ Reiki is the Japanese term. rS J<rei) means somethinll mysterious,

miracUlous. and sacred., r ${( J < ki > means the atmosphere or

somethill!f unseen or the enerSIY of the universe The JaPCll1ese

words " S:A(reiki) "can be defined os 0 miraculous and sacred

enerSIY af the universe, which sustains all life. (Reiki is the oome,

used bY Usui Sensei. for the cosmic enerl1Y.)

j§eiki Ryoha ( Relki healinll methoc/) and the founder:1

USU/ Mikao Sensel (1865--1'126). the founder of Reiki Ryoha

(heolill!f method). attained enlil1htenment. and 0 healill!f ability os a •

lIocfsend wos beStoWed ~ him in 1'122 at the alle of 57 while he

wos fastill!f and meditotill!f on Mt. Kurama in Kyoto. the ancient capital city of Japan.

Reiki healill!f method is to channel the enerSIY of the universe and

an inspired heali!18' art of Usul sensei. NOT the outcome of his

researches. or discovery. or re-discovery.

[ In the Western COIntries. it's been incorrectly said that Reiki

heolill!f method was rediscovered by Usui sensel after researches in the Buddhist scriptures. I Usui sensei thaUl1ht that this wonderful lIift of healinll ability

should be shared with peoPle. not keepinll it to him and/or his

family. Thus. he opened UP "USui Reiki Ryoho GakkaP' at Aoyomo.

TokYo in 1'122. In 1'125 he moved out to Nakano. a SUbUrb of TOkyo, so os to

expand his heolimr activities. Due to his nation-wide fame. he was very often invited to teach Relki classes and do Reikl treatments

from locol districts here and there like Hiroshima area, Salla.

Kyushu. On March '1". 1'126. he passed awCiY on the rOCid(whife

travelill!f) at Fukuvomo in HiroshimCi Prefecture. Usui sensei's

IIravesite and his memorial stone are located at Saihajl Buddhist

temple in TOkyo.

[ In the West. Usui sensei is Said to be a Christian minister and

president of Christian based Ooshisha University in Kyoto.

This is utterly distorted stOry. He was from bellinninll to end 0

lay Buddhist. I
