Sacred Reiki Sites of Japan, VHS NTSC format

You will love this beautifully produced video tour of the Usui memorial and Kurama-yama, the sacred mountain where Dr. Usui discovered Reiki. This one hour video tape takes you to the Saihoji temple in Tokyo to view Dr. Usui’s grave.  Here you will see the Usui memorial erected in 1927 by Dr. Usui’s students shortly after his transition. Arjava Petter will describe the inscription on the memorial and point out the kanji for Reiki that is carved in stone.  He will also describe other information written on the memorial stone including a description of Dr. Usui’s life and his discovery and work with Reiki. You will also be taken to Kurama-yama, the sacred mountain North of Kyoto where Dr. Usui had his mystical experience and discovered Reiki.  The many temples and sacred sites on the mountain are presented, including: the San-Mon shrine containing symbols that are the likely origin of the Usui Reiki symbols, the waterfall where Dr.Usui is thought to have meditated, the main temple and the Okunoin Mao-den shrine at the top of the mountain. At the end is a beautiful video montage featuring temple and nature scenes from Kurama-yama and the Usui memorial accompanied by meditative flute music.  This last section really captures the spiritual feelings of the mountain and at the end leaves you in a state of respectful silence for the life and work of  Dr. Mikao Usui. A visual guide instructing you how to travel to the Usui memorial and Kurama-yama is also included in case you intend to visit these sacred sites in person. Watching this video is really a wonderful experience that I am sure you will enjoy.
