Mikao Usui is the founder of the Usui System of Reiki. He was born on August 15th, 1865. During his life he travelled worldwide and studied medicine, psychology, and religion.
It is said that the system of Reiki was revealed to him when he travelled to the holy mountain of Mt Kurama to enroll in a 21 day training course sponsored by the Tendai Buddhist temple located there. It is uncertain what the exact requirements of the training were, but it is likely that fasting, meditation, chanting and prayers formed a part of the practice.
