Hiroshi Doi
Hello Every Reiki Practitioner all over the world.
This is Hiroshi Doi of Gendai Reiki Healing Association.
As we closed the subscription list at the end of May in Japan and are
to close on June 14th overseas, we have already raised the amount exceeding
our target figure.
It is a great pleasure of us and I, as the representative of the
executive committee of the project, would like to thank all the donators cordially
for your kind supports.
When I looked back on the year 2000, when I visited the birthplace
of Mikao Usui Sensei for the first time, I felt the splendid Reiki there and
also found the name, Mikao Usui, engraved on the Otorii (large stone gateway)
of Amataka Shrine, close to his parents’ house. Then, I came to know the Otorii
was donated by 3 brothers of Usui Family in April, 1923, that is just one year lafter
the establishment of Usui Reiki Ryo-ho.
At that time, an idea came to me, “I wish to build a monument in
the premises of the Shrine.”. Since then, I have kept this desire in my mind. However,
an opportunity has come at last. And a dream of mine for 18 years will come
true with the cooperation of the Chief Priest of Amataka Shrine and local
people in Taniai.
That’s the story and many Reiki Masters, mainly the members of
Gendai Reiki Support Center, are helping me as the staffs of this project.
However, I recognize that the monument is the common property for all Usui
Reiki practitioners.
Fortunately, many people understood my idea and lots of
contributions have been made by various kind of groups and individuals in and outside
Japan. Therefore, I have a very strong feeling that “Reiki is one”, founded by Usui
Sensei.
Thanks to the cooperation of everyone who gives respect to Usui Sensei
and loves Reiki, the birthplace monument will become true to complete the
three major sacred places of Reiki, consisting of ; “Taniai in Gifu Prefecture:
the Birthplace”,
“Mt. Kurama in Kyoto: the place of ascetic practices” and “Saihoji Temple
in Tokyo : the final resting place”. Let’s join and celebrate together
the completion of the Stone Monument on September 23rd!!
That will go down in the history of Reiki as a big event. Come and join us.
In addition, we informed that the deadline for the application for
attending the commemorative events is June 14th but we decided to prolong
it. We will accept applications until the end of June, waiting to reach the
capacity. Several seats are still available.
We wish as many people as possible, who have some relations with
Reiki, to attend the ceremonies, experience the hometown of Reiki, remember
Usui Sensei, and also deepen mutual bonds among Friends of Light. A worldwide
famous Reiki master may attend the ceremonies, too.
Well, let us meet together at Amataka Shrine! In September.
Thank you very much.
