What happens when we die?

Buddhist traditions have explored death through ideas of rebirth, karma, ancestors, spirits, intermediate states, and liberation.

But Buddhism isn’t monolithic. Different traditions developed different understandings of the dead and the unseen.

Did Mikao Usui invent Reiki?

The historical record is more nuanced.

Reiki-named healing methods existed in Japan before and around Usui’s emergence.

Usui developed Shin-Shin Kaizen Usui Reiki Ryōhō—his own system.

Shared name ≠ shared lineage.

Reiki emerged within a rich Japanese spiritual landscape.

Meditation, mantra, mudra, ritual, symbolism, Buddhist and Shintō traditions, mountain practice, and disciplined spiritual cultivation were part of the wider cultural environment surrounding Usui.
