Overview for Reiki and the Healing Buddha
The origins of Reiki go back to the Buddhist tradition in the distant pat. One of the forms of Buddha revered in Tibet and China was the "Healing Buddha". Esoteric meanings are associated with the Reiki symbols and principles. These meanings originate in the Buddhist concepts of healing.
While Dr. Usui rediscovered Reiki by studying Buddhist sutras, much of the hidden, esoteric sense has been overlooked in the subsequent teaching of Reiki to Christian practitioner in the West.
The underlying symbology and esoteric sense provide new deeper understanding to the action and principles of Reiki and can enhance the practice, regardless of your own particular religious or philosophical background.
Reiki and the Healing Buddha reconnects Reiki with its Buddhsit antecedents and provides both the experienced practitioner and the interested lay person with insights and view points on Reiki.
