00:00:36.440 –> 00:00:39.295 I wonder whether you know the people on the picture.
00:00:58.120 –> 00:01:01.365 Some of them I know, yes, of course.
00:01:02.607 –> 00:01:08.330 Some of them. The only one that I’ve met is of course, Doi sensei.
00:01:08.330 –> 00:01:09.723 Doi sensei.
00:01:09.723 –> 00:01:12.660 The others I know what they look like, but …
00:01:13.127 –> 00:01:17.730 And we have Phyllis with her wife, Joyce.
00:01:17.880 –> 00:01:19.293 Her I don’t know.
00:01:19.543 –> 00:01:23.520 And we have Hyakuten Inamoto at the back.
00:01:23.520 –> 00:01:29.055 And this is a German gentleman, a scholar.
00:01:30.080 –> 00:01:32.120 I don’t know him.
00:01:33.137 –> 00:01:36.297 Olaf Böhm, his name is.
00:01:46.355 –> 00:01:50.887 He’s a serious historian.
00:02:25.778 –> 00:02:31.802 I’d love to see such a picture and have Tadao Yamaguchi on the picture as well.
00:03:25.237 –> 00:03:30.153 So when I met Chiyoko sensei and Tadao sensei,
00:03:31.020 –> 00:03:41.082 I had the impression they didn’t really realize what they had. In terms of Reiki.
00:03:42.040 –> 00:03:47.599 Tadao sensei often was looking at me or Chiyoko sensei was looking at me going like,
00:03:47.599 –> 00:03:52.752 ‚Why you make such a big deal of Reiki? It’s the most simple thing in the world.‘
00:03:52.960 –> 00:04:02.920 Which on one hand was the innocent way of … the innocent way they dealt with it.
00:04:02.920 –> 00:04:15.585 And on the other hand, it was also somewhat ignorant. They didn’t realize how special their life, their family really was.
00:04:15.585 –> 00:04:21.840 Because they didn’t realize how big this had become outside of Japan.
00:04:21.840 –> 00:04:23.360 They really had no idea.
00:04:23.360 –> 00:04:29.400 The first time I went to Taniai to Usui seinsei’s birth village,
00:04:29.400 –> 00:04:38.223 probably nobody knew that Usui sensei, one of them of this small place, was known all over the world.
00:04:38.648 –> 00:04:40.645 They had no idea.
00:05:40.732 –> 00:05:47.298 And part of the conflict, I am sure, is this: jealousy. Part of it.
00:05:47.382 –> 00:05:52.340 But I’m also sure that not all of it is that.
00:06:57.480 –> 00:07:04.105 It’s never just one is right and the other is wrong. There is no such thing.
00:11:46.320 –> 00:11:54.710 So if people don’t talk to each other and if they don’t work things out between each other, there is nothing we can do.
00:14:06.480 –> 00:14:16.683 No, I’ve learned this in my life that when people have conflicts with each other, I leave it respectfully with them.
00:14:18.400 –> 00:14:24.520 They are to take care of it. And if they do, great [Gassho], nice, good job.
00:14:24.520 –> 00:14:28.300 And if they don’t, that’s too bad.
00:14:28.300 –> 00:14:31.280 But what to do?
00:14:31.280 –> 00:14:37.217 But don’t take those conflicts onto yourself.
00:14:38.400 –> 00:14:48.950 So if I have a friend whom you don’t like, that’s fine. If I have an enemy whom you like, that’s fine.
00:14:56.483 –> 00:15:07.185 Let’s leave the … in German we have such a good word for that: ‚Altlast‘.
00:15:07.468 –> 00:15:09.893 It means like an old debt.
00:15:09.893 –> 00:15:10.960 Old burden.
00:15:10.960 –> 00:15:19.402 An old burden. Leave those things where they belong … with people and don’t take it.
00:15:19.843 –> 00:15:21.400 Onto your own.
00:15:21.400 –> 00:15:27.858 So now we come to reconciliation again, our subject.
