Usui Mikao
Mikao Usui was born on August 15, 1865 He was born in the village of Taniai in the Yamagata district in southern Japan and came from a wealthy family. Mikao Usui worked in administrative positions in government agencies and later kept a family business. He married Sadako Suzuki and they had a son and a daughter. Usui Mikao had been educated in Buddhism Tentai since childhood and probably this was the religion of his family. At that time the official religions in Japan were Buddhism and Shinto. He had studied and had philosophy and various religions and had travelled to China and Western countries as it is mentioned on the memorial at his grave located in the graveyard of Saihoji Temple, Tokyo.
One day around 1920, he went to Mount Kourama located near Kyoto where is built a Buddhist temple. He went to a location in the forest near the temple to do a spiritual practice of meditation and fasting. In the begging of the 21st day, he had enlightenment and he suddenly felt the energy Reiki over his head. He returned from the mountain the mountain and applied Reiki to himself and then to his family and he realised that it had healing effects so he decided to implement it to others and thus he created the Reiki method.
In 1921 he opened a center in Tokyo where he healed many people and began teaching the method. In 1923 a devastating earthquake hit Tokyo and thousands of people got injured and sick. Dr. Usui used his healing abilities to assist the survivors. The first center became crowed by people so he opened a new bigger center outside Tokyo. Very quickly his reputation spread throughout Japan and started to receive invitations from various parts of the country. Dr. Usui taught Reiki method to over two thousand people.
On March 9, 1926 while he was in Fukuyama he died from a stroke. His grave is in Saihoji Buddhist temple on the outskirts of Tokyo and was discovered in 1994. Above his grave there is an inscription carved on a stone column three meters high that describes the life and work of Dr. Usui.
