00:03:28.000 –> 00:03:36.175 And in this little book, I think four or five times she says, Koyama sensei says,
00:03:36.175 –> 00:03:44.492 ‚I think that Usui sensei’s greatest achievement was that he didn’t create a religion.‘
00:03:45.975 –> 00:03:54.625 When I read that, even though I read it again and again, every time I read it I was like, ‚Phew, I agree.‘
00:03:55.258 –> 00:03:57.608 Because Reiki is for everybody.
00:03:57.683 –> 00:04:04.683 On Usui sensei’s memorial it says, ‚Reiki will heal the world and its people.‘
00:06:29.000 –> 00:06:38.000 So he was very clever in putting things together and making it comfortable for everybody, for all his people.
00:06:38.000 –> 00:06:42.484 And now that we are also involved,
00:06:44.458 –> 00:06:59.107 there are Buddhist Shinto influences in Reiki, but it doesn’t disturb us in the sense that we don’t have to convert to Buddhism or Shinto.
00:06:59.507 –> 00:07:05.180 But we can stay as we are. We can be Christians, we can be Muslims, we can be Hindus,
00:07:05.500 –> 00:07:12.593 we can be Jews, we can be whatever and be comfortable practicing Reiki.
00:07:12.593 –> 00:07:19.000 We don’t have to subscribe to a certain view. We don’t have to change our worldview.
00:07:19.493 –> 00:07:28.720 Everybody can do Reiki ‚who has been given a soul‘. And that’s what Usui Sensei said and that’s all of us, everybody.
00:07:50.043 –> 00:07:54.347 This is for humanity. It’s not for one group. It’s for everybody.
00:07:57.907 –> 00:08:08.904 Actually, I think that is partly why Reiki has been able to conquer the world quite literally is exactly that it has this nature
00:08:28.000 –> 00:08:39.000 And I think the worldwide spreading of Reiki would not have been possible if it had been labelled in any context with a specific religion.
00:08:39.593 –> 00:08:44.182 So that is a gift coming from Usui which he’s given to us,
00:08:44.269 –> 00:08:54.220 which has liberated us and which holds the promise of reconciliation beyond the boundaries of culture
00:08:54.387 –> 00:08:59.247 and the borders of race and the gender issues we have.
00:08:59.247 –> 00:09:10.093 That’s why I have such great hopes that if anyone can make peace, of course we start first with ourselves and in our families,
00:09:10.093 –> 00:09:20.820 but we have something so beautiful in nature, then it should be us Reiki people to be able to come to peace with each other.
00:09:39.720 –> 00:09:53.000 Usui sensei made a beautiful contribution to that by creating something that can facilitate this finding
00:09:53.000 –> 00:10:00.608 of the inner peace to anybody regardless of their religion, of their background, of their social status.
00:10:01.795 –> 00:10:03.647 Fantastic!
00:10:04.000 –> 00:10:08.479 So let’s keep it that way and not put a label on it.
00:10:08.479 –> 00:10:11.220 Reiki cannot be labelled.
