Читать книгу Reiki For Dummies - Nina L. Paul - Страница 59

Many of the stories that Hawayo Takata and her students told and that were subsequently repeated in many books about Reiki history were later found to be inaccurate. For example, she told stories that Mikao Usui was a Christian minister and that he studied at the University of Chicago. Reiki historians later found that these were untrue.

A generation of Reiki students learned old versions of Reiki history told by Takata. In today’s world, the embellished story of Reiki is no longer necessary to keep Reiki alive. (See the nearby sidebar “The true role of Hawayo Takata.”)
