| USUI Mikao Sensei (1865-1926) Founder, Usui Reiki Ryoho |
Mikao Usui is the Founder of the Usui Reiki Ryoho (Healing Art). Sensei commonly known by the name "Mikao" with an extra name "Gyohan" is from Taniai-mura (village), Yamaga-gun(country), Gifu-ken(perfecture). Sensei was born on August 15, 1865. His father's name was Taneuji, and was commonly called Uzaemon. His mother was from Kawai family.
It was in Mount Kurama-yama, after 21 days of a severe discipline without eating, that he attained enlightenment and obtained Reiki Ryoho. Then, he tried it on himself and experimented on his family members. Sensei thought that it would be far better to offer it widely to the general public and share its benefits than just to improve the well being of his own family members.
In April 11, 1922, he settled in Harajuku, Aoyama, Tokyo and set up the Gakkai to teach Reiki Ryoho and give treatments. In September, 1923, there was a great earthquake... Sensei, feeling pity for them, went out every morning to go around the town, and he cured and saved an innumerable number of people.
The Five Precepts
"Today, do not anger"
"Do not worry"
"Be thankful"
"Work with diligence"
"Be kind to others"
