WHAT IS KOMYO REIKIDO?
Komyo ReikiDo (pron. Koh-m-yoh Ray-key Do) was developed & founded by Japanese Buddhist Monk, Hyakuten Inamoto in Kyoto Japan.
Hyakuten was a student of Chiyoko Sensei (a direct student of Chujiro Hayashi, the last Shihan student of Reiki founder, Usui Sensei).
Whereas Chiyoko and her son created Jikiden Reiki (teaching the Reiki symbols, techniques and Reiju exactly as taught by Hayashi (unchanged), Hyakuten created Komyo ReikiDo (teaching modified Reiki techniques and teaching his own symbols and Reiju that differ from the Traditional versions).
Both systems place heavy emphasis on the student's daily practices to help grow and cultivate their spiritual growth. These practices are considers essential for effective hands on healing.
Komyo = Light or illumination
Reiki = Sacred Energy of the Universe
Do = Spiritual Path or Way

HYAKUTEN INAMOTO
Hyakuten Inamoto is a Japanese Buddhist monk.
Hyakuten was ordained in 1982 as a Buddhist monk of the Jōdo-shū or Pure Land School (the same sect of Buddhism as Reiki founder Mikao Usui). In 1995 he encountered Reiki through a book written by a Japanese lady trained by an American teacher.
In 1997 his journey with Reiki began with his Teacher, Chiyoko Yamaguchi (a student of Chujiro Hayashi in Japan). Hyakuten studied weekly (or more) with Yamaguchi Sensei for 2 years.
In 1998, Hyakuten founded Komyo ReikiDo (formerly Komyo Reiki Kai), creating his own system of practices, adapting the practices and creating his own set of symbols and Reiju taught to him by his Teacher.
He travels extensively teaching Reiki Ryoho worldwide.
Chiyoko Yamaguchi

CHIYOKO YAMAGUCHI (1921-2003) was initiated into Reiki Ryoho by student master of Reiki Mikao Usui, Chujiro Hyashi in 1938 at the age of 17.
She did no become a Shihan (Teacher/Master) but was taught how to give Reiju by her Uncle, another of Hayashi's students. Together with her Uncle, she helped give Reiju to students at Hayashi Sensei's gatherings and classes.
She did not open a public practice, practicing privately with family and friends.
After numerous requests, she began teaching Reiki Ryoho to others in 1997.
