Is Reiki Religious?
No. Reiki is not a religion, nor is it religious. In fact, Reiki is religiously neutral.
Mikao Usui, who founded Reiki, was a Buddhist. He had respect for all religions including Christianity, which he had studied. At one point in his life he lived with a Christian family and had Christian friends. He did not want Reiki to be a religious practice but wanted it to be a simple healing technique that anyone could use. Because of this there are no Buddhist practices in Reiki.
