Paperback - By Maureen Kelly
The origins of Reiki go back to the Buddhist tradition in the distant past. One of the forms of Buddha revered in Tibet and China was the "Healing Buddha". Esoteric meanings are associated with 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 practitioners 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 Buddhist antecendents and provides both experienced practitioner and the interested lay person with new insights and viewpoints on Reiki.
"An important, well-written book, providing an essential contribution toward the discovery of the path of Reiki founded by Dr. Mikao Usui." - Walter Lubeck, author of The Complete Reiki Handbook
