A LIFETIME GOAL
While we are experiencing this human life, so
valuable a gift should not be wasted or diverted from its purpose of self-fulfillment,
which is to serve the well-being of all living creatures. This is the teaching the
sages have sent us since ancient times.
From the day I understood this, I spent most
of my time absorbed in contemplating and meditating on divine cosmic knowledge,
although previously I had been involved in the more material interests of
family and business. After a few years I became curious to learn about supreme
power and divine healing methods. To shed more light on this, I began a quest
for truth, which led me from the Himalayas of Nepal to the deserts of India
In order to bring healing to those in need, I
established the "Bodhisattva Meditation and Treatment Centre" at
Bijeshwori. Through this organization I began using Reiki as a vehicle of
healing through compassion. This is how the majority of healers contacted me
and received the benefits of cosmic healing energy, and so we began working as
a unit.
I realized that such knowledge should not be
kept to individuals but passed on to family members, friends and humankind in
general, in order to help construct a better tomorrow. That is the reason I left
my family - to spread welfare in the world - and devotion to divine power gave
me the hope of serving humanity.
It was
painful to be away from home, but I was prepared to face difficulty in the
cause of spiritual practice and teaching, cosmic healing and meditation, which
has brought me to the point I stand at now - the intention to continue to serve
mankind throughout my life.
By the grace of my Gurus and a majority of
colleagues we decided to rename our organization ‘
There are five principles in Reiki, on which
every religion agrees. As I see it,
The main spiritual objectives of the
organization are:
to preserve the technique of Reiki, investigate
new methods of using it for general healing, and show a path for souls that are
lost and searching. To achieve these objectives for the welfare of humanity I
call on all our brothers, sisters, friends and well-wishers of the Reiki
community to come together, join hands and stand united, to form a strong foundation
on which to build. I wish you all good fortune in the endeavour.
