At the end of the 19th century, Dr. Mikao Usui lived in Kyoto, Japan, as a Christian Minister and president of a small University. One day a senior student asked him if, besides preaching and teaching he could demonstrate healing. This question made him go on a search first to Chicago, where he received a doctorate degree in religious studies.Back in Japan he visited monasteries till he found one in which he could study Buddhist scriptures in Japanese. He learned Chinese and studied chinese translations without success. He then learned Sanskrit, so he could read the original Buddist Sutras that had been never translated. Finally Dr.Usui found the formula, the Symbols, the Key of Healing. Dr.Usui practiced and taught Reiki for many years. When his life was drawing to close, he recognised Dr.Chirjuro Hayashi as the Master of Reiki and gave him the charge of keeping the essence of teachings intact.
