The Master Hiroshi Doi is the founder of Gendai Reiki Ho and lives in Ashiya, a small town in the vicinity of Osaka in Japan. Doi Sensei ("Sensei" in Japanese signifies Master) is member of the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai, the school that was founded by Mikao Usui.
Hiroshi Doi has studied many styles of occidental Reiki and he was instructed in the Gakkai school by the Lady Koyama, the first lady elected president of the Gakkai (the Lady Koyama was instructed by Taketomi Sensei, the direct pupil of Usui).

It's due to the completeness of his knowledge of Reiki and his various expressions that Hiroshi Doi is considered one of the most important Masters of Reiki in the world. What impresses most who encounter Doi Sensei is his simplicity. If you do a quick internet research of his images you will find mostly a photo in which he is in a suit and tie with a serious and almost stern expression. Never was an image less apt to identify a person. When you meet him you find that he has nothing of the great untouchable master; instead he presents an absolutely normal aspect.

The Gendai Reiki Ho: from Hiroshi Doi...

The text that follows is a translation of a presentation of the Gendai method given by Hiroshi Doi, the founder.

The Gendai Reiki Ho (Ho in Hapanese signifies method) is a system for spiritual growth and for the well-being of mind and body. Having studied both the Reiki Ryoho (traditional Japanese Reiki method) and the Occidental Reiki system (the one that we call Reiki Usui) I have organised the techniques of both styles so Reiki can be practiced in everyday life.

After the publication of the book Iyashino Gendai Reikiho, the Gendai Reiki method has acquired a certain popularity. I practice the method exclusively for my own well-being and I continue to feel the benefits. So, I teach only in the city in which I live, Ashiya (Osaka, Japan) and I don't intend to spread the Gendai Reikiho or to offer courses in all parts of the world. However, I don't keep secret the techniques of the method from whoever asks me.

The motto of the Gendai Reikiho

The motto of the Gendai method is:

Ayashiku-nai, okashiku-nai, muzukashiku-nai.

That is:

1 Ayashiku-nai, nothing suspicious

2 Okashiku-nai, nothing unusual

3 Muzukashiku-nai, nothing difficult

The Gendai method has nothing to do with mystery, nor with irrationality, and doesn't seek to complicate the practice of Reiki.

All Reiki Masters and Groups should walk together the way shown by Usui Sensei, sharing at the same time the benefits in daily life. The Gendai Reiki is only one of the many ways of doing it.
It doesn't matter how marvellous is the energy of a Master if he, himself is not capable of finding peace every day of his life. If he doesn't progress spiritually, he is not really experiencing the benefits of Reiki.

 

Usui Sensei said:

The Reiki is Ki and Light and permeates all the Universe.

The Reiki energy is a vibration that conduces all towards Harmony. If we are able to feel its vibration or not depends on our reception system, admitting that it exists inside ourselves. The techniques of Gendai Reikiho are defined as auto-purification and personal improvement techniques. Practicing conscientiously, we will form a reception system that, with time, will lead us into resonance with the frequency of Reiki. The learning of the techniques or their correct employment only, is not the final goal of the Gendai Reikiho. The importance is to install a system of reception and to be in resonance with Reiki.
