History of Reiki
Dr.
Mikao Usui - Bom in Japan in the mid 1800's, Dr Usui was impressed
with the Buddha's desire to help others, noting that the Buddha
was said to be able to heal physical illness and that the Buddha's
disciples acquired healing abilities by following his teachings
Seeing that many people were sick or had physical disabilities,
Dr. Usui set out on a quest to learn the secret of healing so that
he may help these people
Dr Usui travelled throughout Japan visiting the Buddhist temples
searching for someone who had a interest in, and some knowledge
of physical healing Eventually he became friends with the Abbott
of a /.un Munasterv who was also micresied in physical healing
Here he staved and studied [he Buddhist scriptures, the Sutras.
The Japanese translations did not have the answers he sought, so
he learnt Chinese in order to study the books in their original
language Still without success, he learnt Sanskrit so that he could
read the Buddhist writings that had never been translated into
another language Dr Usui discovered the formula for Reiki in the
Indian Sutras, written in Sanskrit Reiki was used before Buddha's
time and is said Buddha in fact used Reiki as did Jesus who is
also said to have taught Reiki to his disciples in order that they
could go forth and teach it around the world Originally Reiki is
thought to come from the ancient peoples of 'Mu' and was taken
to the Chinese/Tibetan area many thousands of years before Buddha's
time and has been guarded b\ the Tibetan Monks ever since. It is,
also thought that original transcripts still exist and there are
22 healing symbols It is hoped that in time when China releases its
hold on Tibet that the transcripts will
become available to the rest of the world
