«I wondered why the inscription on Usui's tomb had not been written by Hayashi, who was said to be his successor. The answer to this pressing question was given to my wife by the then-president of the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai, Mrs. Koyama: Mr. Hayashi was never appointed as Dr. Usui's successor! As you can imagine, I had really shot myself in the foot, given that my lineage also comes from the circles of the Reiki Alliance. At first, I refused to believe such a thing, but then my feelings turned to anger and confusion over the fact that we had been told all these stories in the West. After the initial shock, I slowly began to come to terms with the idea that there were indeed clues about Dr. Usui and his movement in Japan.» (Frank Arjava Petter)
